District Judge Lewis Kaplan has said it multiple times: Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll in 1996. Kaplan wrote it in May 2023, when he presided over one of the trials against Trump. And he reminded jurors of the rape this week, during the latest proceedings in the multi-layered, winding rape and defamation cases brought against Trump by Carroll.
Trump will never pay anyone. They’re going to have to garnish his pension from being president.

It wouldn’t even be the first time he’s had to declare bankruptcy. For the ultra wealthy, bankruptcy doesn’t mean you’re financially ruined; It just means the bank has a bad day when they find out you aren’t repaying them.
There’s an old saying along the lines of “If you owe the bank $100k and can’t repay it, you have a big problem. If you owe the bank $100M and can’t pay it back, the bank has a big problem.”
Bankruptcy doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay the debts, it means the court is given control of your finances and decides who gets paid from it if you don’t have enough to pay everyone. Declaring bankruptcy would result in his accounts being wiped out.
Not the one in Moscow.
Assuming he doesn’t get back in in 2024 (or 2028) and exonerate himself from his own crimes.
The president cannot pardon state level crimes let alone state level civil judgements.
The President can’t declare he won an election he lost. Didn’t stop him from trying.
Okay, sure, buuut… what if his name is Donald Trump and he REEEEEALLY wants to?
We listen to him bitch about it for 10+ years and somehow it magically happens by some judge that throws away 100 years of presedent.
Yeah, sure. But if Trump pardons an offense in a Republican state, criminal or civil, which way do you think the state would swing?
This is a civil trial, there are no crimes to pardon.
True, but I’m confident that alone won’t stop Trump, certainly not his attempts anyway.
We have to remember this is someone who does not play by the rules. He relies on everyone else doing so.
