With all the billions and billions Dummkopf Trumpf has, as pointed out above, "$5 million is a pittance."
This donkey should just pay off E. Jean Carroll and move on.
For a schmuck who thinks life is a TV show all about ratings, Trumpf is stepping over dollars to reach for pennies in bad publicity.
The USDJ should just order the US Marshals to Trumpf's bank (Assets Forfeiture) and be done with this.

More from the cited article ...
... Shortly after Kaplan ordered the release of the funds to Carroll from Manhattan District Court, Trump's attorneys filed an appeal of the decision with the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. They later requested that the appeals court stay Kaplan's order. A spokesman for Trump's legal team, in a statement on the order, said, "The American People stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes. President Trump will keep winning against Liberal Lawfare, as he continues to focus on his mission to Make America Great Again." ...

Cor,
I agree.
He should pay her off and never speak of her again.
Let her fade into the background, if she'll actually go.

Why should she "fade into the background"? Oh, right, to resume her proper place as one of them most modest of wimmunfolk. Carroll has made a successful career and a communicator, living as a writer, journalist, columnist and she needs to clam up? Boolsheet. Did Banquo's ghost shut up? How about Trump hang hos his in shame and shuffling off to the Palm Beach care home ? "Fade away?" You ain't seen nuttin yet, MAGAt.

Doc,
"proper place"?
She won her money. Should she come back every few years for more?
Unless there is a reason for another lawsuit which if Trump is smart there won't be, she has no business stalking him.
Even she has to obey laws.
#6 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-07-09 06:35 AM | Reply
If she insists on talking about him, she might even open herself up for a lawsuit.
I suspect he has much deeper pockets than she does.
She should enjoy her windfall, go away and find some peace.

Bill - She's a writer, a communicator, she was sexually abused by Trunp, trashed, and there is small reason to think she will just take the check and walk away,
The bum who became president needs calling out.
Constantly.

You mean, like, wages for Trump sexually abusing her? Seriously?
This may shock you down to your socks, Bill, but my guess is bringing the case really wasn't about the money.

You have a twisted sense of reality and her limitations as a writer.
In the wacky world of blogs, sometimes people sound like mental cases.
Again...if she isn't a mental case herself, she should give up the limelight and go enjoy her money.
At some point, most "normal" people will see she's a "nut job" and "mentally sick," just like Trump said in a deposition.
Frankly, the TDS exhibited by some liberals makes them look like nut jobs themselves.

Every once in a while Trump's horrendous karma, daddy issues, stupidity, and arrogance catch up with him.
Thank you, Ms. Carroll, for going through this to hold the creature to some account.
It's more than the entire Republican Party has been able to find the cojones to accomplish. But it must be tough, eunuchs searching for cojones. Some in the old Chinese imperial court kept theirs in boxes. Check out the Donald Trump Signature Collection on eBay.

Yeak, sure, BILL.
If Trump were your next door neighbor you'd just be as annoyed as the rest of us.
There's something in you that makes you bend, and bend over, to what you see as power. To crass authority.
Concepts of character and competence are foreign to you. You actively resist them.

You know. I was thinking that very same thing about old Trumpy.
But I don't see that ever really happening either.
I do know that if he had harassed me and lied about me from the presidential "bully pulpit" and if I won a Supreme Court case against him I'd be writing a book doing a documentary and doing speeches and books tours and speaking out against the most corrupt president in our nations 250 year history.
I'd dedicate my life to destroying the man who tried to destroy me.

In other words, you've been teed up and now you're getting knocked around by people who don't give a flying f*&^ about you beyond voting for them so they can rob you blind and leave you standing in the ashes of their destruction.

Bill's masters should give him a map so he knows enough how to keep up with the regime's ever shifting inanities and insanities. Recently, The Atlantic ran a piece about the 14 steps of your typical Trump fiasco. Boiled down they are dead on:
1. Devise unnecessary spectacle. 2. Disregard expertise. 3. Bypass normal procedures. 4. Declare victory too early (bonus if done by AI-slop post). 5. Spend way more than estimated. 6. Ignore the haters. 7. Realize it is not going well. 8. Bypass normal procedures once again. 9. Allege conspiracy and sabotage. 10. Redeclare victory. 11. More blaming. 12. Losing interest. 13. Pretend it never happened.

Trumpy is not The President anymore in just over two years. He is already a Lame Duck. He will soon be just a Citizen. Like me. Will he be able to retire in peace? Not likely. His immunity will vr all gone. Well most of it anyway.
What do you think Trumpy's retirement will look like?
Can you imagine it?
I guarantee he won't take his money (that he stole) from America and just go away. No no no. Not Trumpy.
Also I think America might want some of it back.
Regardless old Trumpy will be fighting to stay out of prison the rest of his miserable life. How fun for him!

Trump was found to be a sexual abuser because he attacked E. Jean Carroll and penetrated her with his fingers.

"Carroll has a long and grim history with the president. After the 2023 civil case, Trump tried and failed to sue Carroll for defamation. Kaplan later ruled that Trump had continued to defame the advice columnist by denying the rape on the basis that she wasn't his "type," and by accusing her of making up the sexual assault allegations against him for the benefit of her book. A jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in that case, though Carroll has not yet seen any proceeds from that decision, either." Trump Suffers Third E.

Speak,
Many years ago, when her story had just started making the tabloids, and before any lawsuit had been filed, I read her account.
Even then, there were aspects of her story that smelled fishy to me.
Then, over time, the story seemed to evolve from the original details to something that reeked of a hit job.
