Former President Donald Trump on Saturday stood by his 2019 statement that writer E. Jean Carroll made a “totally false accusation” against him, despite similar claims resulting in him losing a defamation case in January.

Campaigning at a rally in Rome, Georgia, Trump referenced the $91.6 million bond he posted on March 8, three days before his deadline to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for defaming her in statements he made as president after denying her accusation that he’d raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.

Carroll first came forward in 2019 with sexual assault claims against Trump before another civil trial in May 2023, where a New York jury found that the former president sexually abused Carroll but didn’t rape her.

      Suing Trump is a perfectly balanced activity with no exploits. Today, I present to you a gloriously devious infinite money glitch that shall render our wallets fuller than a royal treasury on a binge! Prepare yourselves for a fiscal frenzy the likes of which the political world has never seen!

        Well what with the whole Republican party gearing up to pay all his court stuff might as well take them all down eventually.

        100% wishful thinking I know.

      Doubling down is the only thing he knows how to do. It’s how he avoided impeachments and has delayed his criminal trials. Looks like the civil acts are finally starting to catch up though. He’s already posted one bond. He can’t keep doing this forever.

        It’s also how he’s avoided civil trials and paying judgments in the past. Keep denying, keep denying, ever onwards, and eventually the court will give up because they’re tired, the plaintiff is tired, and nobody wants to deal with you screeching “no I didn’t do it” for the 843rd time.
