E Jean Carroll to spend $83m defamation award on 'something Donald Trump hates'
The writer says she was "terrified" to face the ex-president in court in her defamation case.
Ms Carroll, 80, told ABC News on Monday: "I'd like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates.
"If it will cause him pain for me to give money to certain things, that's my intent."
The former magazine columnist suggested the money could be used to set up a "fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump".
You're viewing a single thread.
I like her sentiment, but it sounds to me like the guy is living rent free in her head. Just spend the money on something that brings you meaning and makes the world a slightly nicer place for others.
Imagine telling a rape victim that her rapist is "living rent free in her head". Phase that moronic cliche out of your vocabulary. It makes you sound like a dumbass.
Turnip Dump has been living rent free in the heads of every decent American since his presidency. If you weren't outraged at his bullshit, you lack a moral compass.
Yes this, it's absurd he's a frontrunner in what is essentially a two party system. As someone in a neighboring country, the impact a US president has on the world at large is scary. Like he could be commander in chief of the world's largest military...again? There was too much anxiety for his first term, of course people think about what he'll do in a second term and not just because of domestic issues. He disbanded the pandemic team that could have had a huge impact on COVID, that alone should tell people to be concerned. Of course we'll never know if it did but it'd be nice to know what that difference would have made, cause it wouldn't have been worse for sure.
I'm as outraged as anyone. Just thought it might help the healing process for her to try and focus the money elsewhere.
I hope you lose everything you have so that someone can come along and tell you "Just look at the bright side, stop focusing on the negative all the time. Pull yourself up from your bootstraps! If you had a better attitude you could get your life back together."
Don't worry, they meant well but are now a victim
That's what happened in my thread anyway
Insensitive clueless post of the year.
What a condescendingly shitty take.
The fact that you're a terrible person aside, one of the things she mentioned is a fund for other victims of his assaults, which would bring her meaning and make the world a nicer place for others, but that requires reading the article. Saying someone's rapist is living rent free in their head within days of a court verdict about the rape though, fucking trash tier humanity
I hope whatever made you this way gets better
Thanks for your input. I think with my comment I was just coming from a place of wanting to not give that POS any blip of additional attention than what he's already taken. I find revenge sort of exhausting and I would wish, especially for her, that she finds a way to think about him less. She's inspired a creative exercise in trying to come up with what would annoy a monster the most. Of course it's all things which would make the world a better place as well. I was trying to think of a way to do that without invoking that asshole. Admittedly I chose my words terribly, but maybe others got a rise calling me horrible things and standing up for what's right, so I've left it up. Keep fighting the good fight.
