Trump's Troubles

This graphic says it all although perhaps Trump's tenure as CEO of his company couldn't really be described as a failure as far as Trump himself was concerned since he paid himself an estimated $40 to $80 million in total compensation while running the company into the ground and shafting its shareholders and creditors.

 

Yes, the $8 million @ajoseph was referring to is the bonding company's non-refundable fee they will collect for writing the bond. They will still insist on holding full collateral to cover the entire amount of the judgment (possibly plus interest) in case Trump loses his appeal. Trump can avoid that fee by posting the full amount in cash. I believe he posted cash for the first trial's appeal.

 

Anything that wasn't properly preserved for appeal during the trial is waived. He could still appeal on the basis the judgment is excessive and the denial of any of his pretrial motions.

 

Now is a great time to support her. It forces Trump to spend time, energy and money campaigning against her. She and her supporters can provide more material to be used against him. By keeping the pressure on him he is more likely to say and do stupid stuff. That stress will add to his already declining mental health. Don't give him a chance to catch his breath.

 

That is why I'm really hoping she goes hard this next month.

And I'm hoping Trump gets ugly with her (as he does everyone) and turns off even more or her supporters.

 

Set Trump was disparaging E Jean Carroll on Twitter earlier today. So is he going for the trifecta? Can she sue him again? What a moron

 

I think this is where Trump is going to get his a$$ kicked. This is really a bad look, IMO. He has an independent monitor assigned to make sure everything is Kosher, because he was caught being dishonest, reporting that the dishonesty continues on a very large scale. Really bad for Trump.

 

But he will just claim it is more election interference and his mindless MAGA zombies will eat it up.

 

Please tell me you are not an attorney. Always so triggered. The tweets by the lunatic EJC show the public how crazy she was and is. She did tell Anderson Cooper rape was sexy and a fantasy. That video is not allowed in court either.

Anderson had to go to break it got so weird. And she still does not know the year she believes she was raped. Sometime in the mid 90's. Now she admits to doing anything to help Biden beat Trump. Carroll says she’ll do anything she can to help Biden beat Trump

Then there is the fact that the judge nor the attorney for EJC disclosed they worked together in the same firm at one time and the judge was considered a "mentor." Everything about this case and trial is unethical.

 

As others have noted, this last trial wasn’t about the validity of Carroll’s claims, but to go back to those, we should recognize that, while neither you nor I were present, the evidence must have been at least somewhat reasonable to convince all jurors, including at least one that Carroll’s attorneys tried to remove from the jury pool.

I am also not sure the specific claims here are all that conclusive either. Eg in the video clip, she didn’t actually say that rape was sexy. She said that she thinks most people think it’s sexy. It’s hard to know her point, since the context was cutoff, but I’d like to see the run up to that comment before making any confident judgements.

There is also another way to view her wanting to do anything to help Biden win, other than the cause of her accusations against Trump. What if this is an effect? Imagine that you believed that Gavin Newsom sexually assaulted your wife. Would you want him becoming the next president? Of course not.

Maybe the legal process was tainted here, but I don’t think any of this rises to good evidence for that claim. If there is such evidence, it would be rightly evaluated in an appeal.

 

If the description is accurate Trump's stunt looks like blatant tax fraud and it was far more egregious than anything Hunter Biden ever did.
