Donald Trump won’t have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal, according to a court entry Tuesday.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to a request by one of Trump’s lawyers that it let the president delay the payment to E. Jean Carroll, though it required that Trump post a $7.4 million bond to cover any additional interest costs, a request Carroll’s attorney had made.
He’s made $83 million this month from being president, he can afford to pay the woman he raped the fine that the court imposed. It’s bullshit that his privilege has afforded him a completely consequence free life for as long as he’s been alive and being one of the absolute worst people.
It not a about the money, it’s about the power.
