By now, everyone in the entire world heard about a New York federal jury’s award of $83 million dollars to E. Jean Carroll against Donald J. Trump for what she claims was defamation arising from her claim of a sexual assault in a Bergdorf’s dressing room. The verdict itself consists of $18.3 million dollars in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages. What virtually no one reports is these damage awards are grossly excessive. The overwhelming likelihood is Donald Trump won’t have to pay anywhere near this amount of money, even if his efforts to reverse the verdict altogether fail. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons why.

My blood is already boiling.
If I touch a pot of steaming water on the range it goes cold.
Meanwhile, in the other case in NYC, will the judge attempt to seize Trump Tower?
Anyone know if Rudy is going to be able to dodge the payment ruling he had on the GA defamation case?
I never could figure out how he could be innocent of the rape and yet still liable for denying he raped her.
All said in the article is fine and good, but there are other issue about the whole case, such as that Trump was not even allowed to put on a proper defense, with many rebuttal evidences not allowed to be presented. The awars should be dismissed because the verdict should be thrown out on appeal.
I believe it happened just this past week. Governor Hochul signed a new law...and rape now has a new definition. I anticipate that this has something to do with Carroll since Hochul signed a law....good for one year....lifting the statute of limitations for rape etc. Carroll filed her suit the next day.
Trump shouldn’t pay her stupid lying ass 83 cents.
Carrol is a hag.
I am guessing they are working to get the fine to at least a billion…
I remember someone pulling something like this on Kavanaugh...but they gave an exact date....and Kavanaugh produced a 30 year old calendar that made her a liar. It was great.
“I never could figure out how...”
“By any means necessary” and a New York jury.
That’s why in this lawfare case they didn’t quote a date.
And a LIE
Feminists should be having a field day with this case.
Rite !
Then confirmed by the recently released eligibility regulations
publicly released today by the governor's office.
Election interference... anybody ?
He’s not going to pay her a dime. 🙄
