Less than two weeks after paying E. Jean Carroll $5.6 million tied to a civil sexual abuse and defamation case, President Donald Trump is asking for the money back.

Trump’s legal team is seeking an emergency injunction that would force Carroll to return the amount she was paid following a judge’s July 8 ruling that ordered the payment process to begin, according to The Independent.

    Can’t wait for another judge to tell him to fuck off and E. Jean gets to keep what he owed her. And she should sue him for harassment.

    Oh look, thats an awful poor attempt to distract from iran, both of which are very poor attempts to distract from the fact that he raped children on epsteins island, potentially killed newborn babies from said children, and may have even been included in the cannibalism of said children

      I hope his body tortures him on the way out. Actual complete suffering and conscious awareness of what is happening. And do it in 4k.

      Any time someone has a bad day, show em him screaming in pain before he goes limp. Makes everybody feel better every time.

      If he can’t be on the receiving end of civil suits while he’s president, he should also be banned from originating them. After all, the Supreme Court’s bullshit reason is that he’s supposed to be too busy, though he spends more time playing golf and soiling himself than he does actually working. And doing otherwise creates a power asymmetry that he can exploit, as we have seen.

    I remember a story of someone in New York, I think they were a journalist, sending to the well known, wealthy in the city a check for one penny. Only person who cashed it was Trump.

    Uh-oh they’re paying attention to the war that I’m using to distract from the Epstein files to distract from the reflecting pool to distract from the diapers to distract from Russia to distract from my cankles to distract from the bruises to distract from the assassination attempts to distract from the Howard Stern episodes to distract from the mashed potatoes to distract from the … wait I lost count.

    Goddammit motherfucker just fucking die! It’s fucking pennies compared to what he is stealing from us tax payers every fucking day. Let it go you fucking pedophile! He should be going to prison not fighting to still overturn his lose in 2020 and fighting over this. He rapes a woman and allowed to walk free only having to pay 5 million. Yet he got to keep fighting her over this.

      Trump has this utterly fundamental belief that you’re either a “winner” or a “loser.” The moment you give something they want, that makes them the winner and therefore you are the loser. He doesn’t care about the numbers, he just cares about whether he’s winning.

        I would bet that he’s got his father’s voice in his head, telling him what a loser he is a dozen times a day.

        A lot of us have family trauma. Most of us don’t try to burn down the entire world because of it.

        How different do you think things would be if someone had gotten this man into therapy in the '80s or '90s?

    He wants you mad about this bullshit that won’t fly so you ignore his abject failures in Iran and at home and that the Epstein class is still doing whatever it wants even though he promised he would “drain the swamp.”

    Sounds like E. gets to have yet another round of winnings. How many times has he lost to her in court, so far? 7? 8?
