Wow, someone actually finally managed to force Trump to pay a bill.
He’s still not actually paying her. He’s just securing a bond that lets him avoid paying while he seeks an appeal. Just keep kicking the can down the road.
“Donald J. Trump on Friday posted a $91.6 million bond in a defamation case he recently lost to the writer E. Jean Carroll, staving off a potential legal and financial disaster just days before a deadline to secure the deal. The bond, provided by an outside insurance company, will prevent Ms. Carroll from collecting the judgment while Mr. Trump appeals.”

Forcing Trump to come up with $92M he doesn’t have so he can’t completely welch when his appeals fail is funny enough that it was probably worth Carroll’s time.
Someone paid it. Not entirely convinced it was directly from Trump.
Trump’s broke. That’s why he put Lara trump as co chair and you hear that some ppl want the RNC to pay donnie’s bills even though that would mean less money for down ballot candidates. Basically means about a billion needed and it would fuck the GOP in congress. I hope they go bankrupt.

The catch is that Trump’s a prodigious fundraiser for the party. So not putting Lara on the co-chair spot could conceivably mean she runs of and does independent fundraising at the RNC’s implicit expense.

I hate to say it, but Trump’s coat-tails alone are probably worth a billion in GOP organizing and advertising. His base loves him and his name at the top of the ticket will get out far more votes in 2024 than the GOP received in 2022.
