For the 2nd time in less than a year, Donald Trump has found himself on the losing end of a defamation suit filed by journalist and former 90's cable personality E. Jean Carroll.
Earlier today, a jury determined that Trump, already on the hook for $5 million in damages from last year's case, now has to pay an additional $83 million plus, all because he just couldn't keep his mouth shut, either in person or via Truth Social.
I'll let Glenn Kirschner take it from here:
Trump's very public temper tantrums are political theatre for his marks, and, of course, he had to whine about it after the verdict was announced.
We can chalk up his claim that he "didn't know" Carroll due to the advances of old age affecting both of them. He can't reconcile that this is the same woman he'd freely been photographed with in the 90's, at the height of Carroll's fame. Worse, it is another symptom that, at 77 (he'll be 78 in June), Trump is more in cognitive decline than he thinks President Biden is. He deflects and projects his failings and flaws on others because of his vanity. He is not the "tough guy" his base thinks he is, deceived by his facade created for The Apprentice nearly 20 years ago.
Even worse than that, attorney Alina Habba was exposed once and for all as being way over her head and far away from her actual field of expertise (she's handled parking garage cases in Florida), hand picked by Trump because she's telegenic, attractive, and, most importantly, malleable. Her career has been irrevocably destroyed by her association with Trump, just like Sidney Powell, L. Lin Wood, John Eastman, Ken Chesebro, and Rudy Giuliani before her.
The bottom line: The Republican Party cannot continue to blindly support Trump all the way to November. It's time to cut bait, and time for the party to get younger in terms of their presidential candidate. Trump has regressed and degenerated to having the attitude and comportment of a undisciplined toddler, which explains this:
