Trump Says He’s Too Rich To Post Bond In Carroll Defamation Case - Lemmy.World

Too rich is Trumpian for I ain’t got no freakin cash.

So much winning. You’re gonna get tired of winning so much.

Not paying is very on brand for Trump.
What would you expect after paying 230K for a fucking blowjob? How many times do you think he did that?
What’s your opinion on the slut who received $230k for a blowjob? Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?
She seems very fiscally responsible and leveraged her skills into being overpaid for what she’s good at. Sounds like she did good. I’m proud of her.
“The Art of the Deal”
I was actually gifted that book by a roommate who was a trump supporter during his presidency. It was worth more as kindling for my bonfire.
The hell are you even talking about? The neither giving, receiving, paying for, or being paid for a blowjob are the problem. Paying $230k for a momentary indulgence while simultaneously defaulting on other obligations is the problem.
Sure, criticize the woman for charging people for sex rather than the absolute chump who paid a quarter of a million dollars to get his pee-pee sucked. That sure sounds like the type of smooth brain deflection of a trump supporters would try, but the rest of us ain’t stupid or bigoted enough to believe it.

Ohhhh, I thought for a moment he literally paid $230k for a hooker. Like, that’s what it would take to get someone to suck him off. You’re talking about the bribe after.

It says a lot that the first thing is still kinda believable, though.

Final transaction amounts to the same. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how he got Melania.
Ill say it… I have no proof but think Melania works for Putin.
My point is that neither should be punished. But if one is, then why isn’t the other? As far as I know prostitution is illegal in this country, both for the Johns and those providing services.
The issue has nothing to do with sex work. Trump wasn’t being prosecuted for buying sex. He was indicted for using political donations to bribe someone, and you think that should somehow be legal? Just stop with this ridiculous exercise in whataboutism. Your head is way too far up your ass to make any sense.
I have no opinion on the person who made cash here. Sex work is still work. You, however, are an asshole.
I think he’s just mad that he can’t afford it
Slut? Welcome to block prude.
Dunno, but I can tell you my opinion on the cockwaffle in these comments calling women sluts, if you like?
Higher than my opinion of a born-rich never-worked-a-day-in-his-life conman who has to pay for sex.

What’s your opinion on the slut who received $230k for a blowjob? Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?

Man did you miss the point. Here let me reword the statement to see if you get it this way:

“What would you expect after paying $230K for a fucking hamburger? How many times do you think he did that?”

Would you consider spending $230k on a single hamburger a savvy financial decision? Now imagine what you look like when you reply with:

“What’s your opinion on the restaurant who received $230k for a hamburger. Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?”

Jesus fucking christ. Is this a real opinion? Like, not only is this the thought that came to your mind, but after going through the cognitive filter, you decided this is both an accurate and acceptable thing to say?

Reconsider your values and the harm/benefits they bring. You need help.

This comment needs to be an autoresponse to every comment in this entire sub

I think I’m in the wrong business. How long does a BJ take? Like max 15 minutes, probably less once I get some more experience. I would just have to work one afternoon then be set for the year.

No, using money stolen from your campaign to pay for it. And that besides the fact Trump is a sex offender as a matter of fact. But even if it was not completely consensual, she would have no credibility on the US, so taking a payout was the best she could hope for.

The coverup is what gets them usually.

I didn’t think there were enough people on Lemmy for this many downvotes, well done.
Man even made lurkers sit up and take notice of a truly shit opinion.
I explained how to make a lemmy account to my mom so she could downvote, too.

Oh my sweet summer child.

There’s actually fairly few people who wouldn’t blow someone for $230k given the opportunity. There are however very few people who have been paid $230k for a blow.

I have mad respect for someone who can secure that kind of money for someone everyone else does for free.

You can call her a slut if that makes you feel better about yourself but I suspect that you’re really just envious of someone who is that desirable - I know I am.

My personal definition of “slut” is someone who has orgasms without guilt. Pretty sure Trump has never given another human being an orgasm (and if he did, it was an accident). Therefore, they were not sluts, at least in that particular instance.

What the fuck

The word should be reclaimed. See: The Ethical Slut

It’s OK guys he’s taking it back!
The traditional definition is a sex negative one. It should be either reclaimed or expunged altogether. Which would you prefer?
Oh either would be great, just like with many other nasty insulting words. I don’t think that will happen though.
Well OK, but you understand that most people have another definition for slut right?
Of course, that’s why I was clear that this is my personal definition.
Personal definition == alternative facts
Obviously, nobody has ever tried to reclaim a word before. Certainly not among the queer community.
Wow… what makes her more of a slut than Trump paying for it while married? (Looking at your profile, all your comments and posts have negative scores so I’m assuming you are just another troll)
She got paid. By definition she’d be a whore and not a slut. Why hate so much though?
he’s a sad sack and she got a quarter million dollars for 2 minutes’ work, 5 if you count how long it took to find it underneath his hamberder belly
My opinion is she was the smartest person in the room while giving said blow job. $230k for 30 seconds of work. You’d clearance do the same thing for 1% of that amount
She got paid $230k to suck him off, while you would do it for free. I respect her more than I would respect you.
The only thing Trump ever does is contort his reality to protect his ego, so this statement could have been anticipated

The meat:

“Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” he huffs. “This fact nullifies risk to the judgment creditor and weighs heavily in favor of an unsecured stay.”

Only problem with that is that it's not Plaintiff who is requiring a bond pending appeal. It is the United States of America.

I thought it was the state of New York, but whatever
The E. Jean Carroll defamation case was in federal court.
It really is hard to keep track of all of his criminal trials.

Yes, but the E. Jean Carroll case was a civil trial.

In case anyone thought there was any aspect of the law Trump hasn’t shit on.

Oh, shit! This article is about the cheap fine!

Donny is in deep shit then.

(I don’t think this one is a “fine”, bit they other is and I don’t know the right words.)

The legal term for Engoron's ruling (New York state civil fraud judgment) is "undertaking." In the Carroll case (Kaplan, federal defamation), it's "damages," a large portion of which are punitive damages.
