Trump rape trial

[G-smashed]

So the orange one is not defending himself in his rape trial. I guess his lawyers don't want to trash their reputations by fabricating a defense for the lying piece of garbage. While he can't get jail in this civil case he will hopefully get what he deserves in the other felony cases pending against him. If there's any justice in this world he'll get raped in prison.

Your current leading candidate for President of the United States:

“Waiting for a jury decision on a False Accusation where I, despite being a current political candidate and leading all others in both parties, am not allowed to speak or defend myself, even as hard nosed reporters scream questions about this case at me,” the former president wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday. “In the meantime, the other side has a book falsely accusing me of Rape, & is working with the press. I will therefore not speak until after the trial, but will appeal the Unconstitutional silencing of me, as a candidate, no matter the outcome!”

This is a lie. Trump has had every opportunity to defend himself in the trial. His legal team informed Judge Lewis Kaplan last week, however, that they would not be presenting any defense. A day later, Trump whined about the case to reporters overseas, teasing that he would “probably” attend the trial and that he was returning to the United States early in order to “confront” Carroll, whom he called a “disgrace.”

Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina reportedly informed Judge Kaplan this would not be happening, but Kaplan still gave Trump a chance to speak at the trial, setting a Sunday evening deadline for his team to file the paperwork required for him to do so. The deadline came and went without said paperwork being filed, and Trump lost his chance to speak on his own behalf. Both sides delivered their closing arguments on Monday, and the jury is set to begin deliberating on Tuesday.

A New York federal jury found former President Donald Trump liable on Tuesday for sexually abusing and forcibly touching the writer E. Jean Carroll at a department store in the 1990s, and for defaming her last fall when he denied her claim.

The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

The verdict in the civil trial came after less than three hours of deliberations in U.S. District Court in lower Manhattan. The jury did not find Trump liable for rape, as Carroll had also alleged.

Anyone who voted for him in 2016 & 2020 will still vote for him.

They'll blame the legal system and not Trump.

I haven't seen a single Trump supporting Kzoner withdraw support after 1/6, so they won't be doing it now

GUILTY!!!!!!
I can see while he was found innocent of rape since it's hard to penetrate with his 2" needle dick. I'm sorry the settlement amount wasn't more. This called for the financial death penalty. He deserves to lose everything right down to the change in his pockets.

Anyone who voted for him in 2016 & 2020 will still vote for him.

Because being a democrat is a worse sin than sexual assault, inciting a riot, or attempting to overthrow democracy.

[deadheadskier]

Or defrauding children's cancer charities
Multiple other cases of business fraud
Praising despots

Or even his inability to staff and maintain a professional cabinet

Nothing will dissuade his supporters. They would literally vote for Hitler over a Democrat.

This verdict is not the only data point to consider when it comes to Trump's sexual harassment of women:

Appearing on CNN, former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin said she had seen “countless cases” of what she considers “impropriety” in the White House that she reported to Trump’s various chiefs of staff, including Mark Meadows.

When Tapper specifically asked Farah if she informed Meadows or other chiefs of staff about instances she witnessed of “Donald Trump behaving inappropriately with women,” she said she did and so did former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham.

Grisham, whose books included examples of Trump’s alleged harassment of women in the White House, later appeared on CNN and confirmed Farah’s claims.

Speaking to CNN anchor Erin Burnett, Grisham said she had spoken to several different chiefs of staff, including Meadows, about Trump’s behavior, but she thought there wasn’t much they could do other than tell him “This isn’t good, sir.”

Saying “Donald Trump will do what Donald Trump wants to do,” Grisham reiterated Trump’s alleged lewd remarks about a specific female staffer who she claims she had to try and protect—repeating a claim she made in her book.

Grisham said Trump had asked one of her deputies to bring the female staffer on his trips “so that they could look at her ass”

Forbes has contacted Meadows and the former president’s office for comment.

“[Trump] would always comment on women's looks. He would even talk to me sometimes about various plastic surgeries, et cetera…But with this one staffer, it was really bad…And the sad thing is every senior staff member knew it, everybody talked about it in our White House,” Grisham told Burnett.
