Donald Trump storms out of closing arguments in E Jean Carroll trial
(www.independent.co.uk)
How not to win over a jury: A true story, featuring Donald Trump
The art of fucking up the deal
It's a civil case, He didn't even have to be there in the first place lol.
Sure, but now he's open to contempt charges.
He'd be all excited to get the chance to show how persecuted and downtrodden poor Trumpy is. Maybe another photo of him looking all tough for his fan club to jack off over.
Like that picture where he looks like 3 toddlers standing on each other's shoulders?
Isn't that every picture?
I guess, yeah. There's one that came out recently where he looked especially ridiculous, but I can't find it right now.
People are saying that he shat his adult diaper. The best people. 🖐️👌
It's like drama and jackasserry are all this guy offers...fucking cult leader.
They always report hist theatrics. They don't report that he had no defense against the accusations.
Way to show dominance, Pumpkin Tits.
Pumpkins are way to plump and firm. Dude straight up has albino great-grandma orangutan tits. Shriveled, saggy and pointy.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Roughly 20 minutes after walking into the courtroom, Donald Trump stormed out of closing arguments in a civil trial to determine how much money he owes E Jean Carroll for repeatedly defaming her.
The former president arrived in federal court in Manhattan on Friday morning after briefly testifying in his defence on Thursday afternoon, after which he unleashed more attacks and potentially defamatory statements about the former Elle magazine columnist.
In her closing statement, Ms Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan told jurors that the former president “acts as if these rules of law just don’t apply to him.”
The facts in the case have already been established, and Mr Trump is barred from disputing that he sexually abused her, leaving a trial focused exclusively on damages owed.
Mr Trump instead has used the trial to amplify his defamatory statements and as a stage for his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, which has relied on his multiple lawsuits and criminal indictments to cast him as a victim of a baseless conspiracy theory of a weaponized justice system against him.
Hours before his appearance in federal court on Friday, he posted a video of himself to his Truth Social account in which he accused Ms Carroll of lying and being a paid political operative.
The original article contains 528 words, the summary contains 212 words. Saved 60%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Thanks bot. I refuse to click on independent’s garbage website.
Hey dumbass, storming out in a baby tantrum hasn't worked the last few times, maybe knock it off?
Maybe you shouldn't have raped her then, you sack of horse excrement
"Storms out" but actually, "waddles away diaperly"
No flourish?
