I just want to give everyone a trigger warning because the description below of what Trump said is horrible, especially to those who have been raped or abused.
He is defaming her yet again. This is so awful. The audience was laughing at a rape victim. I can't believe this was put out as news by a corporate media tool. Wow just so awful.
"While addressing the Carroll verdict, the former president boasted that his "poll numbers went up" despite the allegations and claimed that he had "never met" the former columnist.
Trump complained that the judge did not allow his legal team to tell the jury that Carroll's "cat was named Vagina" and offered commentary that referred to the alleged rape as "hanky panky." The audience reacted with laughter.
"
"What kind of a woman meets somebody, and brings them up, and within minutes you're playing hanky panky in a dressing room," Trump said while recalling Carroll's version of events, prompting loud laughs from the crowd.
Trump went on to say that he "felt sorry" for Carroll's ex-husband John Johnson, resulting in even bigger laughs and a round of applause for the former president.

I don't recommend the link (Newsweek) because they downplay it and use language that minimize what Trump did. But they didn't pull their punches describing the horrors.
