found Trump guilty of sexually battering Carroll in an incident that happened in the 1990s, and of defaming her when she came forward to report the attack. He has been ordered to pay her a total of $5 million on both counts.While discussing this topic, Trump was asked what he would say to people who consider this conviction a deal breaker when it comes to voting for him. He replied, “There aren’t too many of them because my poll numbers just came out.
They went up. I think I think I’m the only person in history [that it happened to]. And usually, you leave office, you say ‘I’m sorry, but I’m going to back home.
I’m back home to my family’ and everything. I’m going to be reserved. My poll numbers went up, and they went up with the other fake charge too.”Then Trump smeared Carroll directly.
First, he falsely characterized her lawsuit as “election interference.” Then, he attempted to label her a racist, while sharing unsourced and irrelevant claims against her that his legal team had been forbidden from bringing up in the trial. “What’s happening,” he said, “is they’re doing this for election interference. This woman, I don’t know her.
I know, have a met her” I have no idea who she is. I had a picture taken years ago with her and her husband. Nice guy, John Johnson.
He was a newscaster. Very nice man. She called him an ape.
Happens to be African or African American, called him an ape. The judge wouldn’t allow us to put that in.”“Her dog, or her cat was named vagina,” Trump added, pronouncing the word with heavy, extended emphasis on the last syllable. “The judge wouldn’t allow us to put that in.”Again, Trump has already been found guilty by a jury of defaming Carroll, and has been ordered to pay $5 million.
