Today 10 minutes ago

Jurors in the trial stemming from writer E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against former President Donald Trump watched video Thursday of the moment Trump confused Carroll for his ex-wife, Marla Maples.

During the October deposition, Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan showed Trump a late-1980s photo of him, his then-wife Ivana, Carroll and her ex-husband John Johnson. Referring to Carroll, Trump said, "It's Marla," referring to his second wife, Marla Maples.

"That's Marla, yeah. That's my wife," he said, before being corrected, and told it was Carroll. The writer sued Trump for defamation and battery after he said she "made up" allegations that he raped in her a New York City department store in the mid-1990s. Trump has adamantly denied the allegations and claimed Carroll "is not my type."

3. They're referring to what the jury saw....but I know what you mean.

The headline should not be misleading.

2. From the article ...

"Tacopina's representation of Trump Thursday in his civil trial meant he could not be present for a hearing two blocks away in Trump's state criminal case. Trump entered a not guilty plea to 34 counts of falsification of business records on April 4, when he became the first former president in U.S. history to be charged with crimes.

In that hearing, Trump's attorneys and prosecutors for the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg argued over a proposed protective order that would bar Trump from publicizing evidence turned over to him as part of discovery."

How does he keep all these cases straight???


So that's why he divorced Marla, she wasn't his type, either.

4. Misleading subject line

[viva la]

5. Then he also said that Carroll's attorney was also not his type.

He is such an a-hole.

Later, Kaplan reportedly asked Trump questions about other women who have accused him of sexual assault. That’s when the former president grew heated, telling Kaplan “you wouldn’t be a choice of mine, either, to be honest.”

“I wouldn’t in any circumstances have any interest in you,” he said, bringing in the rejected dude at a bar defense.

No information on her ewwwww response.

8. So true, right? Also, never discount the power of narcissism and how it distorts reality re: Trump.

“Then a wealthy new York doctor and Republican donor called Ryan and said ‘You need to understand what narcissistic personality disorder is.’ “

The doctor sent Ryan a memo on “how to best deal with a person with anti-social personality disorder” and a variety of links to medical journals on the disorder. Ryan, Woodward and Costa note, “studied them for weeks, convinced that Trump had the personality disorder.” A spokesperson for Ryan didn’t respond to a request for comment.

We've seen Trump go from rapist to insurrectionist...that is quite a spectrum of evil.
