Donald Trump has blamed bad legal advice for losing a civil sexual assault trial brought by E Jean Carroll earlier this year.

Mr Trump was ordered to pay the former Elle relationship columnist $5m after he was found liable for sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s and then defaming her after she went public ...

“I was asked by my lawyer not to attend—'It was beneath me, and they have no case.' That was not good advice,” he ranted on Truth Social ...

1. Ha! If he had attended, the judgment would've been $10 million

Such a whiny little baby. And a rapist to boot

4. "Is this you saying "Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."?'

[Walleye]

10. Huh? That's something I would never say

[struggle4progress]

15. Question for opposing counsel to ask DJT if he had taken the stand

[Ocelot II]

2. In his twisted world nothing is ever his fault.

He didn't get bad legal advice; he'd have lost even if he had attended and testified. In fact, he might have lost even more spectacularly if he'd opened his fat yap and tried to defend himself. His testimony would have been insane.

11. THIS

Nothing is ever his fault

3. Truth, they used his deposition testimony

Against him. If he was that bad outside of a court room, imagine him in the witness chair . . .

5. It's unlikely he would testify

But just sitting there without his pouty poopy face wouldn't have done him any favors either.

6. How many different lawyers did he use in the course of that case?

And what I'm really asking: is it possible to identify who he is (or will be as he ramps it up) defaming now?

7. But I thought he only hires "the best people."

Amazing how many of these people turn out to be less than adequate...

8. OR, stay with me here, Donny, you could have just not sexually assaulted her.

[TSExile]

9. By golly, that makes sense.

If you had kept your little mitts...and everything else...to yourself, you wouldn't be in this mess. What an overgrown, petulant toddler.

17. Donnie dummy - do the crime, do the time

heard that somewhere once.

[keithbvadu2]

12. The woman he 'recognized' as his ex-wife?

Blame that on the lawyer?

[edhopper]

13. His deposition

was lethal to his case. Imagine what trial testimony would do?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

16. TFG lost this case in his depo

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Saw that coming from mile away. Mr Stable Genius is never wrong. That's why he crimes. . . . nt

19. And just think, when any of tRUMP's voters look at all of the dumpster fire employees (WH or his properties)

that tRUMP has hired and they quit (or as he claims all of the time, he fired), ask all of these idiot voters how come so many people have quit while working for tRUMP?

This is a red light to anyone in the 'real world', that something is not right, that something is stinking to high heaven (or to the local trash dump). This is a repeated story again and again and again and again ... of the many people that tried working for this loser, and ended up quitting because he's just too stupid, too moronic, and everything else too XXX.

He's just an incompetent idiot and loser. We don't need to see this again.
