A lawyer for a writer who won an $83.3 million defamation award against Donald Trump suggests a new defamation lawsuit is possible against the ex-president after he resumed verbal attacks against her at a weekend rally.
Imagine for a moment that you are president of the United States and you are given an intelligence briefing with information that is vital to an allied nation's safety. Under no circumstances are you to share this information with anyone. You are then in a candid two-hour conversation with a jovial diplomat from a nation hostile to that other nation. If you didn't keep your wits about you, you might accidentally discuss the secret information.
Donald Trump is not a man who has ever had his wits about him.
At this point I think she may start enjoying it. Not trying to undermine the pain she went through but if this continues and she continues to win large settlements against him then I have to think she starts to enjoy that.
You know that episode of The Office where Michael gets a talking to by his bosses for constantly making sexual jokes and then immediately after leaving the meeting he makes a "that's what she said" joke? Yeah that's Trump leaving the court house and immediately tweeting defamatory statements.
I think its time for Trump to recieve some kind of care. He is obviously not well. I'm not qualified to say what his illness could be, but his behaviour just isn't normal.
Good news. Plenty of qualified people have diagnosed him. They wrote an entire book about it. Hes a narcissistic sociopath. The dementia is newer though.
Yeah, one of his relatives is a psychiatrist/psychologist I think and she also said, he’s a narcissist too so I think it adds up with the consistencies tbh.
I know this kind of requires some cunning, but maybe he's playing at developing dementia in order to get out of any upcoming sentences, as a backup plan in case he doesn't manage to win or steal the presidency.
The man has dementia. Like, pretty far along, too. At this point, he's just being used as a MAGA figurehead because they fed the beast of the US right wingers far too much that they backed themselves into a corner.
People can sue him into oblivion until his handlers finally accept he's unfit, which they can't do.
As a non-American, it's fun to watch play out. I fully believe people will try to 'weekend at bernies' him into office if it comes to it.
Attorney Roberta Kaplan, who represents 80-year-old writer E. Jean Carroll, noted in a statement that the statute of limitations for defamation in most jurisdictions ranges from one to three years.
“As we said after the last jury verdict, we continue to monitor every statement that Donald Trump makes about our client, E. Jean Carroll,” Kaplan said.
Her statement came after the Republican front-runner in this year’s presidential race angrily complained during a nearly two-hour speech at a Rome, Georgia, rally on Saturday that he had “just posted” a $91.6 million bond to cover the January verdict by a Manhattan jury while he appeals.
He told the rally that the verdict was “based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t know, never heard of.”
Trump, 77, followed up his Saturday rally statements with an interview on Monday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in which he labeled Carroll as “Miss Bergdorf Goodman” and said, “I have no idea who she is.”
The trial judge instructed the jury that it was only to determine what damages, if any, Trump owed as a result of his 2019 statements.
