The former president fired off a series of potentially defamatory statements as he arrived in court
As he arrived at a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan, Donald Trump’s Truth Social account released an avalanche of posts attacking E Jean Carroll, who is suing the former president for defamation.
A jury in New York City will determine what damages he owes Ms Carroll, whom Mr Trump defamed by repeatedly calling her a liar and denying that he sexually assaulted her.
It’s the second trial stemming from defamation claims brought by Ms Caroll, and a jury already found him civilly responsible for sexually abusing her in the 1990s. He continues to claim that he never met her and has repeatedly mocked and ridiculed Ms Carroll in the wake of that verdict.
Small Hands Hamberders and Covfefe much?
What is with all the leniency the courts are giving him? It feels like every month its “Judge orders Trump to stop doing thing he was ordered to stop doing several times already”, if I acted that way in any trial I guarantee I would be charged for contempt of court
They’re trying to provoke the judge so they can have room for appeal or at least fodder for his mentally stunted base. “This judge was so mean to me, I couldn’t get a fair trial.” Especially if they can make the judge snap at them, then that’s what it’s about: an unhinged, emotional, hothead judge abusing their power.
Luckily I think most of the judges smelled him coming and are just giving him all the rope he wants. That’s my hope at least. Then if they do jail him for contempt they’ve got stacks of evidence and second chances. I may be giving them too much credit.
Truth social, gab, parler, minds, it’s all bots posting, they won’t interact even if you disagree with them
This man is secretly a socialist, as he is just giving away his money.
He lost another 2 lawyers. Is there a number out there, how many lawyers he had that were withdrawing? Many withdrawing only days/ a day before a trial, which a lawyer only ever does if they are deadly ill or their client is so unhinged that they can not risk being with them in a court room.
At this point i don’t understand how he gets lawyers in the first place. Ok so maybe a few of them are crazy republicans, makes sense, but he has a wellnearned reputation for not paying his attorneys and I would think that would be enough to keep them from signing up in the first place.
