She's not going to live forever. If Trump doesn't fork over the $88.5 million he owes her, it should be required that when HE finally dies, the money goes to her estate.

Dee Cee's avatar

Maybe non-monetary penalties such as the ones he's suggested for Mark Kelly, Liz Cheney, and congressional Democrats.

paulahik's avatar

HIGH interest. 30%

Merry's avatar

“She's not going to live forever.” And neither is Trump.

(In fact, I suspect EJ Carroll will out-live him.)

That’s why he’s so frantically trying to rewrite history, build monuments, rebrand everything in his sight and establish his legacy as the greatest, smartest, strongest, wisest, most powerful, most beloved, most handsome human being to ever walk the earth. The likes of which has never been seen before and will never be seen again. In fact, he’s the second coming. God incarnate.

Just ask him…!

When Trump is gone, all that infrastructure will be dismantled.

Merry's avatar

Yes. “TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!”

Mary's avatar

That what really makes me mad. Our taxpayer $ are being abused to do his vanity projects and our taxpayer $ will have to be used to repair and restore those things. Talk about fraud, waste and abuse!!

paulahik's avatar

Exactly. However, we'd all prefer the second to the first.

paulahik's avatar

He'll waste billions to do it all and we're enraged about it. It will cost billions to get rid of it all and we'll be happy to spend it.

Mary's avatar

Your comment is exactly right but makes me want to throw up because I'm so sick of him doing and saying all those things. :>))

Merry's avatar

Agree. It’s nauseating. And I’m EXHAUSTED by him. But that’s exactly what he wants. So I /we must stand united and firm against him and his corrupt regime.

joannegucci's avatar

Trump can’t leave this planet quick enough, just save the world & ppl in it and die asap and stop polluting this planet!

Mary's avatar

When he's gone, I hope there are a lot of lawsuits against his estate. For all the people he has conned and probably didn't pay, there certainly should be lawsuits.

Power to The People. Women People!

Lee Diamond's avatar

if women were running the govt, none of this bull$hit would be happening

bLUEduRham's avatar

Depends on which women…. Noem? MTG? Bondi? Malaria? Susan Collins? That whacko from TN?

I do not disagree with you; i just want some descriptors in front of the word “women.”

bLUEduRham's avatar

Democratic women… 😘

Bruce Rosen's avatar

Amy Coney Barrett. Laura Loomer. Candace Owens. Marjory Taylor Green.....

Bruce Rosen's avatar

That said, there are, for example, literally millions of US women more qualified to be SecDef than the tinpot sycophant holding that office...

Dee Cee's avatar

Tammy Duckworth, Mikie Sherrill, Chrissy Houlahan. All would be excellent choices.

If your boobs don't bounce enough, you have no chance.

And even with all this, 77 million Americans thought he should be the president United States. It absolutely boggles the mind, and is grotesque.

Eric Glover's avatar

I hate to say this, but it just proves that majority of Americans are racist. By choosing an old man that is a felon and a sexual assaulter over an educated black woman with law degree and government experienced as a state DOJ, senator, and vice president tells me they didn't care just as long as the black woman didn't win.

Kate's avatar

And here we are.

Mary's avatar

I agree that there's too much racism and I remember reading some comments by women that "a woman is too emotional to be President." However, the American electorate has some problems too. Many of the 77 million are obviously void of critical thinking skills and the ability to discern truth vs lies. Anybody who had chosen to pay attention, took the time to look at the felons history and listen to what the orange felon actually said, historically and on the campaign trail, would have known better. I also believe that trump somehow appealed to a subset of people who I would call perpetual victims of themselves. Something probably happened to them somewhere in life and rather than doing the work to figure out how to change an outcome, they decided the system was against them and it was easier to be a victim than deal with their circumstances.

I am also not happy with the people who decided not to vote!!

Lee Lenard's avatar

That is 77 million Elon Musk generated votes. Even with Farmers, Military, Federal Workers, Trucking Industry, MAGA retirees and National White Christians all overwhelmingly voting for him, he received73 million.

Thanks for writing this Dina!!

Thanks for the support Renee!

"That a sitting president commenting publicly on a rape accusation against himself was acting in an official capacity and cannot be held liable for it. If the United States is substituted under the Westfall Act, the case is dismissed because you cannot sue the United States government for defamation."

What a pile of pure, unadulterated crap!

Dee Cee's avatar

Just like the defendant. Only orange.

Renaydejoy's avatar

I wish the Supreme Court would just end it, rule in her favor, and hold him in contempt if he doesn’t pay her within 48 hours of their ruling!

Alan Greenstein's avatar

Considering the current structure of the Court, the Corrupt Six are terified of making a ruling. They are hiding a lot and Trump likely knows all the sensitive things that he can reveal.

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

At the risk of sounding flippant, So what? The Supremes have lifetime tenure. Whatever he knows about them, or thinks he knows, can’t mean all that much. They’re not subject to election. The MAGAts can say whatever bad crap they want to (and do say) about the 3 liberals on the Court.

His threats are empty.

Kathleen's avatar

Right. Look what came out awhile back about Alito and his maga wife. Look what has come out about that grifter Thomas and the 'gifts' he's taken. And who knows about all the back room deals made, where the in- justices didn't tecuse themselves from a case. It all just rolls off their backs. Disgusting.

Mary's avatar

And when the Dems are back in power, it needs to change.

Elizabeth Fenlon's avatar

Excellent essay about E. Jean Carroll. Heartfelt and true. Thank you.

Lynn M Stewart's avatar

Enough is enough. E. Jean Carroll won twice, as you have pointed out. She deserves to get what he owes her. The Supreme Court must uphold the law and be held accountable. The people should expect and accept nothing less.

Trump's a rapist and this country has lost its fucking soul.

Joyce Hawkins's avatar

This country would not exist today if we had the spineless people of today calling themselves leaders. My only comment to those who do not like living in the democracy created by our forefathers and have a burning desire to change it, go live somewhere else. I'm sure there are a number of developing countries you could choose from. Leave mine alone. I've been here 80+ years and like the improvements made that you are slowing taking away.

Terry's avatar

I'm in IL. There's a house I drive by frequently that has a sign in the window, used to be in their front yard, Pritzker sucks. All I want to say to them is, move already. Head south. MS, AL, TN, AR, would welcome them with open arms. I see a woman in the yard sometimes. I'm sure she'd be more than happy to relinquish her vote, being a woman and all. According to the party she's devoted herself to, she's not worth a vote. She gets that, doesn't she? Maga are so misinformed and downright stupid, aren't they?

Joyce Hawkins's avatar

All she has to do is come across the Mississippi River to the state I live in. Super "red" here.

Terry's avatar

Yes. We're not a much more than an hour 10 minutes from IA. They can drive straight over on I-80. Simple. Or head south about 3 hrs to get to MO. Doesn't matter to me. Just leave IL, since she hates it here so much.

Mary's avatar

Misinformed, absolutely. They seem stupid to me too but I don't know how all of them can actually be that stupid but stranger things have happened. It might interest you to look at the site leavingmaga.org. It was created by a former maga so he's the right guy to help people get out. Some interesting stories. One of the threads I hear in a lot of the stories is that the maga people start to have doubts and they eventually diversify their news sources and realize how they've been conned and lied to and they find the courage to leave. They're putting up billboards around the country inviting disillusioned maga people to join them. The founder says he's very busy so that's something to be hopeful about.

Mare's avatar

Good for you, Jean! Thank you for the report, Dina. It is uplifting to hear about a courageous woman.

Dina Doll's avatar

Appreciate the support!

This is why I stopped filing tax returns in 2017. If Trump doesn't have to pay taxes, neither do I. If he can get away with ignoring monetary verdicts against him, and violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution with side hustles, there's NO FUCXING WAY I'm giving a vent to this corrupted government.

Terry's avatar

I tried. Last year. 5 months after I didn't pay, I got a letter telling me not only the amount I still owed, the penalties associated also. If I didn't pay, the penalties would only increase. I paid $48k in federal taxes for 2025 alone, so no way I'm tacking penalties on every year. My taxes go up every year. So much for trump lowering taxes. I can't imagine how much you owe in penalties. For me anyway, it simply wasn't worth it.

Tony Bruno's avatar

Great to see this lady, woman with integrity get justice from an individual who's embarrassed himself in front of the world and has disgrace his family name like, his sons, daughter, his father, grandfather all have.

Judith Karcher's avatar

It amazes me that this woman went after Trump and won both times and this idiot is determined to take her down! I agree with DJT - when Trump dies, his money should still have to pay to her estate. G-d bless her for going after him!!

How much is this world going to allow one slime ball, get away with.

Trump is dog shit on the shoe of America. Time to scrape him off.

C Giza's avatar

They do sell poop bags with his face and name on it. I've seen people in my neighborhood use them.

Christine Hayvice's avatar

I hope the Supreme Court doesn’t cave to Trump on this. What a bastard he is. She deserves this win.
