How could any Republicans — or anyone at all –vote for Donald Trump after today?

This supercilious piece of trembling lard was told by a New York jury today to pay E. Jean Carroll $83 million. Of that $18 million was damages. The rest of it was just punishment for defaming the woman he’d already been convicted of sexually assaulting, for a second time.

Do you need to be painted a picture?

Trump already owes Carroll $5 million from the first round. He refused to offer any contrition. Instead, he tried to re-litigate the case he’d already lost. In the process, he insulted the judge and the jury. This morning he stormed out of court after speaking for a few minutes and completely turned off the jury, reminding them that he has respect for no one.

Trump will appeal the verdict, but as every legal expert has weighed in this afternoon, it will be futile. The amount could be cut, but even if it’s half it’s still a huge amount and one that will follow Trump to the grave.

Here’s the NY Times report.
