NY – Ex POTUS Donald Trump, sued by E. Jean Carroll, DT found liable re sexual assault, $5M award, countersuit dismissed, appeal rejected, 2023

[karen in New York]

I think the original poster was referring to the fact that he’ll appeal forever and, that at the end of the day, his supporters have donated enough funds to him to cover his costs anyway. It baffles me how donating to a person with so much money of his own by people who could really better use that money themselves for better reasons seems to be de rigour for Trump.

Cult-like worship? It is not logical.
