The verdict comes after a dramatic day in court that included the former president storming out of the courtroom during Carroll's closing argument.

    The sad and frustrating part of this is that he has plenty of cult followers who would gladly set up a GoFundMe for their “billionaire” “king”.

      Fine, let them donate money to this pit vs. donate to fund his campaign or other Republicans.

        Individual donations don’t matter in a world where the Kochs have virtually unlimited funds in order to sway elections the way they like.

        Trump’s not going to pay a dime anyway. No one holds him accountable, so why would he?

      I’m good with separating those fools from their money. Ms. Carroll gets paid, and Trump’s rubes have less money to spend donating to other harmful shit like republican campaigns or churches covering up sexual assault.

      With how he’s been acting I think that well is drying up these days. As much Russia wants to contribute they have their war to pay for and sanctions make it more difficult (I hope), I’m sure his supporters are less able to contribute since they’ve given so much already, I doubt he’s getting many new supporters. He’ll still get more than most people can reasonably make in 20 years but it’ll never be enough for Trump.

      Plus I think his legal bills are catching up these days funny how a billionaire has trouble paying lawyers for even a handful of cases eh? That’s like pay a few big firms type of money available, if it were there. Maybe it’s just because no one will work for him but I imagine he could get a hundred decent lawyers if he paid properly.

        State RNC branches are going bankrupt, too, as people are donating money to national and Trump and not them. Also Trump had the national RNC paying his legal bills but they backed out… and Trump’s PAC (which he has diverted money from to pay legal bills) asked for a $60 million refund from another group due to mounting legal bills.

    Every reporter should ask Trump about Carroll to get him to say something else so she can continue to get money from him. Hopefully doubling the penalty each time.

        He did it in this trial when his lawyer was asking him questions about his own testimony…

        He’s 100% going to do it again, and she has no reason not to drag him to court after he does it again.

      He actually needs to pay it for it to have any meaning.

        I imagine NY won’t screw around enforcing that judgement. If he doesn’t want to pay, he has plenty of assets that can be seized: like 721–725 Fifth Avenue

        Sure, Trump’s will try every legal trick his team can think of to delay or avoid paying out – but there is ultimately recourse.

          I hope so, but yeah I can see him trying to draw out payment or avoid it in any way possible.

    The $83.3 million sum adds to $5 million sitting in escrow that Trump already owes Carroll from the other lawsuit she brought against him in 2022 that he lost at trial in May, when the first jury to consider her allegations found the former president sexually assaulted her on an unoccupied floor at Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in 1996 and defamed her as “a complete con job” on Truth Social after his presidency in October 2022.

    https://sg.news.yahoo.com/nyc-jury-finds-trump-owes-221600368.html

    Just adding this here - the $5m he owes is already paid into escrow. Let’s see that $83m in the pot as well while he continues to dig a deeper hole.
