        Without any money he’s forced to pay more and more through his PACs (which he’s already doing to a great extent). Meaning much less budget to campaign on, much less to pay the entrance fees for his campaign speeches, orderlies, event halls and so on. With the defamation lawsuit and the fraud trial he ought to pay around 450M$ in damages alone. Majority may get pawned as NY might just foreclose his company buildings but there will be a hefty sum after that.

            I agree. The only reason he’s so upset about the money is because he’s been so obsessed with money his entire life. That and being told he’s wrong. If he was smart (I know, but stay with me) he would laugh at it and move on as if it was nothing, and just take it from his son in law and whatever scans he’s still running at the moment.

    Donald Trump responded on Truth Social after losing the second defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll:

    “Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!”

    Trump has now been ordered to pay more than $88 million to Carroll after two trials.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.

    Trump had already been found liable for defaming Carroll while he was president by mocking her allegation that he’d sexually abused her, so this jury was only tasked with determining how much she should be paid in damages.

    Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan asked the jury for at least $24 million in compensatory damages for the harm she suffered and “lots and lots of money” in punitive damages to stop him from continuing to defame her.

    Trump’s attorney Alina Habba contended that Carroll “had failed to show she is entitled to any damages at all” because she “actively sought the comments and the attention” she received.

    A different jury last year found Trump liable for sexually abusing her in a New York City department store in the 1990s and for defaming her by mocking her claims after he left the White House.

    U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan found Trump liable for defamation in the current case based on that jury’s findings.
