Trump isn’t above the law, must finally pay Carroll

Donald Trump has been found at fault by courts of many offenses, from phony valuations of his holdings to being guilty of 34 felonies to abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, but he has never had to pay a price. Until now.

Trump has been ordered by a Manhattan federal judge to pay Carroll a $5 million judgement (plus $800,000 in interest) for his sexual abuse and subsequent defamation of her, as determined by a jury. It’s been about three years since this judgement, and Trump has tried everything he can to wriggle out of it, but even running to his pals at the U.S. Supreme Court has not panned out this time. Time’s up, and Trump must finally pay.

The money is a tiny fraction of the amount of cash Trump has raked in off of monetizing the presidency alone. It is not going to cause all too much........
