As we already discussed here, Trump posted this disgusting attack on his "Truth Social" network for the Memorial Day holiday:
Trump didn't name Carroll by name in the post, but it's crystal clear who he was talking about, and her lawyer Roberta Kaplan responded to Trump's latest smear:
After Trump, who arrived in NY last night, attacked E Jean Carroll again on Truth Social today, her lawyer Roberta Kaplan says, "We have said several times since the last jury verdict in January that all options were on the table.
This should be a week, eh?
"Closing arguments are scheduled to begin this morning in Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial," Mika Brzezinski said on Morning Joe.
She said the defense goes first, with Trump attorney Todd Blanche expected to spend several hours on his summation argument. Prosecutors then offer their rebuttal, before Judge Juan Merchan then gives the jury its instructions, which is expected to last about an hour.
So we're left to wonder: What does America look like when everyone who offends Donald J. Trump is removed?
Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses and expel foreign student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in a roundtable event with him in New York. Via the Washington Post:
“One thing I do is, any student that protests, I throw them out of the country.
Huh. It looks like Trump is trying to protect his assets against nearly half a billion dollars in legal judgments. Judges tend to frown on that sort of thing. Trump’s company opted to offload one of his private jets this month, public filings show. Coincidentally, the buyer is a Republican megadonor who poured nearly $250,000 into a political committee tied to Trump’s 2020 campaign.
