“It’s clear Trump wanted to avoid the bloodbath of a cross-examination but wanted to say something”

Former President Donald Trump spent just three minutes on the witness stand Thursday in his defamation trial brought by E. Jean Carroll, using his testimony to declare that he backs his prior deposition denying the writer’s claims.

As Trump left the courtroom, according to The Messenger’s Adam Klasfeld, he complained to the press in the gallery, saying, “It’s not America. It’s not America. This is not America.”

      Based on the lawsuit against her by a former client, she’s an insane backstabbing snake, not a bimbo.

      Her husband was a member at one of Trump’s golf courses. She finds out that a waitress at the course was sueing the place and her manager because he had sexually abused her for years and coerced her into it with job threats.

      She befriended the woman, convinced her to drop the actually beneficial lawyer she had, got her to sign an NDA and accept a pittance sum under 20k. Then dropped the woman as a client.

      Allegedly that’s how she got the job with Trump. She turned around and went to him and told him what she did and how she saved him millions of dollars.

      However, as I said, the woman is now sueing her and she is facing potentially being disbarred for that evil act.
