Summary
A New York jury has issued its verdict in the second defamation case that E. Jean Carroll bought against Donald Trump: Trump must pay Ms. Carroll $83.3 million in compensatory and punitive damages. A year earlier, a jury awarded Ms. Carroll $5 million due to Trump defaming her on other occasions. Moreover, during closing arguments, Trump disrupted the proceedings by storming out when Ms. Carroll's lawyer told the jury that Trump acts like the rules don't apply to him. Of course, Trump's disruptive behavior directly and dramatically proved the exact point Ms. Carroll's attorney was arguing to the jury. Glenn says Donald Trump truly is the biggest loser when it comes to his court cases. He's lost both trials against E. Jean Carroll. He's lost his New York civil fraud trial, and we are simply awaiting Judge Engoron's decision regarding how much Trump will have to pay (or "disgorge"). And, when his namesake, The Trump Organization, was criminally convicted of a 15-year-long criminal scheme to defraud in the first degree, Trump essentially lost that case as well (albeit by proxy as he was not personally charged in that case).Trump fights every case in the court of public opinion. He lies and lies in a desperate attempt to deceive and grift from his gaggle of supporters. But the rules of evidence don't apply in the court of public opinion. However, the rules of evidence, the rules of procedure, and the rule of law all apply in court. And Trump has proven time and again that he can not win in a court of law.
His unabated losses in court are strong predictors of how his criminal trials will play out. Once his criminal trials commence, Trump will be convicted over and over and over again.
