Will d0n0ld Pay E Jean Carroll & NY The Money He Owes?


This concerns a line of thought that arose from a comment the White Supremacist misogynist bl0gger Minus FJ submitted to my blog. He wrote, "Carroll made her money teaching gold-digging in her columns & books". Then he added, "I guess she couldn't land the Donald... so she sued him instead".

Question: Can you tell me what E Jean Carroll's books are about? A commenter on my blog said that, in her books, she teaches women gold digging. The definition of "gold digging" being "a term for someone who enters a relationship primarily for financial gain". One of her books concerns "How a Smart Woman Can Land Her Dream Man in 6 Weeks". Is the "dream man" women want to land (in her book) a rich man?

Copilot: [Regarding] "How a Smart Woman Can Land Her Dream Man in 6 Weeks"... This book provides a tongue-in-cheek guide to finding a romantic partner, with Carroll offering unconventional and humorous advice on how to attract and keep a partner. The "dream man" in this context is often portrayed as someone who is desirable and compatible, though the book's tone is more playful than serious.

While Carroll's books do offer advice on relationships and dating, they are often written with a satirical and humorous tone, and it's unlikely that they explicitly promote "gold digging". Instead, they tend to focus on empowering women to take control of their love lives and relationships.

Question: So, she doesn't write (in any of her books) about women desiring a rich man as a boyfrind or husband and how to "land" a rich man?

Copilot: While her book "How a Smart Woman Can Land Her Dream Man in 6 Weeks" might playfully address how to attract a desirable partner, it does so in a way that's more about confidence and personality rather than financial status. The "dream man" concept is more about compatibility and personal fulfillment rather than wealth. ... Her books focus more on empowering women and providing relationship advice with a touch of wit, rather than promoting financial gain through relationships.

Question: A commenter on my blog wrote (about E Jean Carroll) "I guess she couldn't land the Donald... so she sued him instead". Obviously this is false. E Jean Carroll never tried to land Donald Trump. I find this comment highly offensive and misogynist as well. I think, that I'm dealing with a misogynist, is a logical conclusion regarding someone would would describe sexual assault as an attempt to "land" the assaulter. Would you disagree? I know the person in question is a man. He has also (on numerous occassions) expressed his belief that E Jean Carroll lied about her encounter with Donald Trump.

Copilot: Your reaction is completely understandable. The comment you received is not only offensive but also dismissive of the serious nature of sexual assault. Describing such an incident as an attempt to "land" someone is deeply problematic and reflects a lack of empathy and understanding of the gravity of the situation.

It's important to recognize that dismissing or discrediting someone's experience of assault, especially with such a flippant remark, is a form of victim-blaming and can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and misogyny. Your conclusion about the commenter being misogynistic seems logical given the context and the nature of their remarks.

Question: There have been 2 court judgments that resulted in donald trump owing tens of millions of dollars. Is there a way he could use the power of the presidency to get these court decisions reversed, win his appeals, or just not comply with the judgments?

Perplexity: ...there are a few key points to consider regarding Donald Trump's legal situation and the potential impact of the presidency...

Current Legal Situation

Donald Trump currently faces significant financial liabilities from two major court judgments...

1. Civil Fraud Case: A New York judge ordered Trump and his companies to pay $454 million, including interest, for engaging in a years-long scheme to inflate his wealth on financial statements [1][3].

2. E. Jean Carroll Defamation Cases: Trump owes over $90 million total from two defamation cases brought by E. Jean Carroll. This includes a $5 million judgment from the first trial and an $83.3 million judgment from the second trial, plus accrued interest [5].

Trump has appealed both of these judgments and posted bonds to prevent asset seizure during the appeals process [1][4][5].

Presidential Powers and Legal Judgments

It's important to note that the presidency does not grant powers to directly overturn or nullify state court judgments or civil lawsuits. The U.S. system of government is based on the separation of powers, and the judicial branch operates independently from the executive branch. As such, there are several key limitations...

1. State vs. Federal Jurisdiction: These cases were decided in state courts (New York), which limits federal intervention.

2. Civil Cases: These are civil matters, not federal criminal cases, which further restricts presidential authority to intervene.

3. Constitutional Limits: The president cannot unilaterally overturn court decisions or interfere with the judicial process.

4. Appeals Process: Trump's recourse is through the standard appeals process, which he is currently pursuing [4].

Potential Indirect Impacts

While the presidency itself doesn't provide direct means to reverse these judgments, there could be indirect effects...

1. Appointment Power: A president can appoint federal judges, but this would not affect state court decisions or ongoing cases.

2. Public Influence: The platform of the presidency could be used to shape public opinion, but this wouldn't directly impact court decisions.

3. Legislative Action: A president could potentially push for legislation that might affect future similar cases, but this would not apply retroactively to existing judgments.

Compliance and Enforcement

Regarding compliance with the judgments...

1. Legal Obligation: Even as president, an individual would still be legally obligated to comply with court orders.

2. Enforcement Challenges: While the office might complicate immediate enforcement, it doesn't provide immunity from civil judgments.

3. Post-Presidency: Any attempts to avoid compliance could face legal consequences after leaving office.

In conclusion, while the presidency is a powerful position, it does not provide direct means to reverse existing court judgments, win appeals, or avoid compliance with civil court orders. Trump's current legal strategy appears to focus on the standard appeals process and posting bonds to delay immediate payment while the appeals are pending.

As per Perplexity's reply, it sounds like d0n0ld won't be able to wriggle out of paying these judgments. Though I'm highly doubtful. His plan to escape prosecution in regards to the coup and his theft of classified documents was successful. He will not go to prison as he should. The cases are being dropped. And it looks like his conviction in regards to the Stormy Daniels hush money payments will definitely not result in any punishment whatsoever.

Even if he is ordered to pay? He can get the money from his moron supporters. d0n0ld is still collecting donations. This is something he can do under campaign finance laws for the next 4 years, at least. You might argue that he can't legally take his supporter's money and use it to pay legal judgments.

Yet he has used campaign cash to pay his legal bills. And RNC money to also pay legal bills. So why couldn't he also find a way to use his supporter's money to pay what he owes E Jean? As well as the $454 million he owes the state of New York?

Very likely there will be zero consequences imposed on d0n0ld. Ever. Instead, those who attempted to hold him accountable for his criming will suffer the consequences.

I also asked Perplexity about d0n0ld's "Truth Social" stock. Seems like it increased in value 26% since d0n0ld "won" the election and his 57.3% stake in the company is currently worth 3.7 Billion dollars. You could say what he owes Carroll and NY is chump change compared to that. If he pays it. Though I'm doubting he will. In his mind he was wronged and should not pay. Just on "principal".

E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. $88.3 Million plus interest owed for defamation. 9-2023.

New York v. Trump, et al. New York business fraud lawsuit against the Trump Organization. Judge Arthur F. Engoron. $354.8 Million plus interest owed for Financial Fraud. 2-2024.

  1. You obviously put too much stock in Ai babblers. What is "desirable"? Female hypergamy says it all. For thousands of years, the desirability of a potential mate was well known. Now, AI has "unlearned" it. Poof! Edumacation is gud!

    Trumps "fines" and "judgements" will be substantilly reduced, if not eliminated. And Rudy will get all his 'stuff' back. Count on it.

  2. In my post I wrote: "As per Perplexity's reply, it sounds like d0n0ld won't be able to wriggle out of paying these judgments. Though I'm highly doubtful".

    Trumps fines and judgments may be substantially reduced, if not eliminated. Via his corrupt use of the power of the presidency. They definitely would not have been eliminated if he was not returning to the White House. I doubt that Rudy will get all his stuff back. Unless d0n0ld corruptly attempts to help him. The judgment against the Turd Rudy was justice served.

    Shaye and Ruby's lawyers want to get their cut and will continue to attempt to collect from the Turd Rudy. I wish them great success. I wish success to Letitia James and E Jean Carroll's lawyers as well.

    d0n0ld shafted Rudy in regards to $2 million in legal fees Rudy says the tRump campaign owes him. I don't know that d0n0ld would go out of his way to help Rudy with his lawsuit problems. Maybe, maybe not.
