E. Jean Carroll might sue Donald Trump a third time
(www.newsweek.com)
Carroll found an IRL infinite money glitch
Hard to get blood from a turnip.
Not really? Trump uses banks, and banks will freeze assets to a court order and turn them over.
That only applies to people who aren't rich. Trump is going to use the Alex Jones playbook of bankruptcy, shell companies, and "but I can't survive on anything less than 80k a month"
No? Alex Jones's assets were not public, so they were easier to hide. Trump has many public assets, and the Trump Org is a very public (although privately held) company.
There's already a judge in control of the Trump Org, so they can't move any money without approval. The State of NY is literally holding him by the balls, whether he pays up or not.
Banks do not help people whose assets are already frozen. It would be obvious and they would get a massive fine, and the recipient bank would send the money back (if they're in the US). Plus whichever bank employee made the transfer would be fired.

In this case I don't think so. Trump has low liquidity but many assets. Even if he dies she can get paid from his estate.
Or blood from a cheeto.

He doesn't have any money to pay her
Every appeal ends up putting actual money in escrow. He doesn't have enough money to actually appeal this last decision + the new York fraud decision.
Doesn't matter. Still sue.
That's amazing. Do it.
I want her to drag him to court over and over. It will be, as Trump likes to say, "a beautiful thing, folks. A beautiful thing."
So much winning!
People are saying, it's a beautiful thing.
While I applaud her for her bravery, I also worry because of what his lunatic supporters have been known to do to their perceived "enemy."
Remember, they think he's literally the second coming of Christ.
She literally doesnt care. The juice is worth the squeeze.
How have I never heard that phrase before? I love it
I just remember it from Girl Next Door lol
I’m all wet. Can I come in?

The juice is worth the squeeze.
what a wonderful saying. personally i like "[it's just] sauce for the goose" (as a follow-up to/implying the phrase "his goose is cooked"), but what you said is seems to fit better here.
They thought the same about Hitler and an entire generation of Germans and Austrians lived the remainder of their lives in silent shame when it all fell apart.
One big difference I think.
Nazi Germany lost in outright combat against an enemy they had always said they could beat. They were decimated and many of their sycophants were killed in battle.
Unless Trump and his followers start an actual armed rebellion and get put down, I don't see how they end up ashamed.
Beating Trump in court, while it needs to be done, allows all of his followers to keep saying, "See? We told you the deep state was out to get him."
Unless Trump and his followers start an actual armed rebellion
Those people are out there. It's one of the main reasons I left Florida. A truck load of guys showed up outside my polling place in 2020 with AR's and they were asking everyone in line who they planned on voting for/if they were voting for Trump. The cops were called and they told the people who called that "as long as they weren't brandishing their weapons or threatening anyone" that nothing could be done. This was in the parking lot of a public library during voting; the cops chose to not do anything.
"Stand back and stand by" is all these people think about. They aren't making a move until Trump tells them to, but there's a non-zero chance that they start getting violent, similar to "the troubles" in Ireland in the 90's.
And our legal system fails us every single day Trump is a free man getting to flap his gums. We all know what we watched happen. We heard what he said, we saw what the aftermath was... If it was you or I, we'd be in solitary confinement yesterday.
There's a long damn time until November and I'm fearful, but there's not much I can do to change anything.

If maga-country is paying for it, might as well get that money again and again.
Hey, most of us are also trying to grift MAGA folks.
We can't let Trump have it all.

So he's actually on her side grifting his own people for her gain.

Going for the hat trick? I like your style.
It's like she found a faulty slot machine that won't stop putting out.

At what point is trump just doing what he wants and not paying? Can he go to debtors prison or something?
New York will seize & start auctioning off his properties. He can't even appeal without putting the damages fine in escrow.
I read yesterday that Trump only has ~$550M in liquid assets & $50M of that he can't touch without it automatically recalling a loan that he currently cannot pay.
I'd like to point out the last part is no one's problem but Trump's & whatever bank gave him that loan.
Not even Trump's problem, I'm afraid. As J. Paul Getty famously said-
If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.
That's true for $50 million as well.
thing is: he doesn't owe it to a bank-- he owes it via judgements to Carroll and to the People of the State of New York, and, on their behalf, the State of New York will start seizing Trump's assets and auctioning them off to cover the judgements.
Depends on how the loan is secured. If he put up some of his property as collateral then the bank can just seize it and it's not their problem then.
Yeah, but the property he put up saying is worth 50 million to secure the loan is probably only worth 3 million 🤣
Then they sue him for lying about the value of the collateral. One big oroboros of lawsuits until Trump has nothing.

Pretty dumb quote.
The bank has an army of lawyers who sure as shit gonna make it your problem.
It hasn't been a problem for Trump before. He's defaulted on many loans.

Its like a gift that keeps on giving!
Except he never pays
Don't forget to bring an extra set of forms to file on the way out, when he does it again in this next trial!
As long as there’s evidence and damages cover the attorney fees she can keep this going.
President Loser continuing his losing streak.
lol sure that bitch into the ground
Bitch-Tits needs to shut. His. Mouth.
I'm cool with .73 cents out of each dollar he gets donated going to others, I'd like him to talk more so he goes bankrupt before the July estimate 👍
That works for me, too. If it MUST talk, drain it of resources and money until it withers up and blows away.
