just attach her to his Venmo account at this point, so whenever he opens his stupid mouth, she can just hit send and have another $5MM dropped into her account.

It was incredibly foolish and arrogant, and completely typical of the man, for Trump to go at Carroll on national television with his standard āI never knew her . . .ā stream of B.S. immediately after losing a verdict in a physical assault suit (an āassaultā that was, essentially, a rape case at that). In the sort of suit that she is now bringing, I would imagine that Ms. Carroll does not have to be present in the court room during the proceedings to be victimized further by Trumpās usual antics.
If she can afford the legal fees and avoid any further suffering at Trumpās hands, why not do the suit? Meanwhile, Trump, being Trump, is very likely to continue spewing a constant stream of self-incriminating lies that are legally actionable by someone.
Thus answering the question: Is Eric really as stupid as people have said that he is?

No, folks, TFG has not posted a $5 million dollar bond. No pony for you. Grow up.

Donnie is going to have to do some serious judge shopping to find a court that will hear an appeal of this one. Kaplan did a good job of making it clear that Donnie had every opportunity to testify, and the creep did not. I doubt his lawyers would let him and risk perjury upon top of all the other charges.

The asshole never intends to pay it anyway, so the amount is immaterial. He is doing what he always does and files an intent to appeal as a method of delay, delay, delay. At some point some court is going to have to say that they will not hear any of his bogus appeals, and to pay the hell up.
I tried to be polite. Instead of responding with useful information you slammed me. This kind of response is arrogant and not the tone most often of us try to maintain here.

Occamscoin lives in an alternate reality where he cannot deduce that Trump has very few options re: The E. Jean Carroll finding of liability. Trump could just pay the judgement and walk away- but any sentient being in 2023 knows that that will not happen. Trumps legal team COULD be negotiating a settlement with The Carroll team to prevent the finding of liability from being entered- but yet again, no sentient being believes that is happening or would ever happen. Ms. Carroll has no motivation to do so ( would interrupt her current media appearance schedule), she is not in immediate need of the funds (so she has time to wait for the inevitable appeals process), she has another action pending on essentially the same facts (and the very real opportunity to file another defamation claim after the CNN and Truth social onslaught following the liability finding) and there is every indication that her motives in filing were accountability for Trump not money for herself. Trump will not settle because he would essentially be admitting guilt and would take away his political ammunition of raving against Carroll, The Judicial system, the jurors etc. Trumps third option is to proceed to collections discovery- but lets all be honest hereā¦Trump will never voluntarily allow the federal judiciary to get all forensic accounting into his finances that that would entail. So that all leave the option that our fellow commentator denies us ponies overā¦.Trump will appeal the decision ( good clue- he has already filed notice of appeal) he will eventually file the appeal (at the very last minute because we are all familiar with his delay, delay delay strategy at this time) but in order to file said appeal Trump will, as a matter of law, post the bond in the amount of 5 million dollars plus 9% interest. The legal consensus is that trump does not have the grounds to succeed on appeal, Judge Kaplan bent over backwards to extend even more due process to Trump than a normal defendant and Trump was essential convicted by his own deposition testimony. The Supreme Court, so far has shown no willing ness or desire to help Donald Trump out of his own legal entanglements so it is highly unlikely that they would do so now. One othe thing that could happen is that Judge Kaplan could determine that the award was too excessive but he has already agreed to it soā¦.Does that mean that occamscoin will distribute the ponies to all of us when we turn out to be correct?

Could the appeal Trump filed expose him to an additional charge from his CNN remarks?

Not on appeal but Carrill could file another defamation claim against himā¦ā¦and since the last one took 5 and 1/2 months from filing to verdict, it is entirely possible that there could be another finding of defamation against Trump before he is heard on appeal from the first one.

Keep track of all the new death threats you get, E. Jean. Each one may be worth a pound of The Parasiteās flesh.
