He raped her. That last judge went out of their way to clarify that point. He should be in prison. But monetary compensation as well...

AFAIK the sexual assault allegation was proven with a proponderence of evidence in civil court only. I guess the criminal case already passed statute of limitation.
This is why sexual assault, as this includes rape. But rape is a specific criminal thing and since he has not been criminally convicted he is only a sexual predator and assaulter.. not a rapist. I'm explaining not agreeing btw.
And civil court only leads to money not jail time.
Edit: can anyone downvoting this please explain? I don't understand, I was merely trying to explain the process and the current situation.

He won't pay. He already owes her $5 million, and he's not going to pay that, either. He probably owes his lawyers more than that, and he's not paying them.

That's not how it works.
Trump is appealing the $5 million judgment. And when you appeal, the first thing you do is write a check for the entire amount - a check made out to the court. That way if you lose the appeal, the court can pay the plaintiff.
So, in fact, Trump had already paid the $5 million, even if Carroll can't spend it yet.

He'll just grift the money from his followers

People are saying that he shat his adult diaper. The best people. 🖐️👌

It's a civil case, He didn't even have to be there in the first place lol.
-
His lawyer was specifically instructed what he could and could not do. But he snuck it in anyway.
He cannot deny the sexual assault anymore without risk of further litigation. So his opponents should press that point.
On advice of council I decline to answer that question.

It's like drama and jackasserry are all this guy offers...fucking cult leader.
-
They always report hist theatrics. They don't report that he had no defense against the accusations.

Way to show dominance, Pumpkin Tits.

Pumpkins are way to plump and firm. Dude straight up has albino great-grandma orangutan tits. Shriveled, saggy and pointy.

Hey dumbass, storming out in a baby tantrum hasn't worked the last few times, maybe knock it off?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Roughly 20 minutes after walking into the courtroom, Donald Trump stormed out of closing arguments in a civil trial to determine how much money he owes E Jean Carroll for repeatedly defaming her.
The former president arrived in federal court in Manhattan on Friday morning after briefly testifying in his defence on Thursday afternoon, after which he unleashed more attacks and potentially defamatory statements about the former Elle magazine columnist.
In her closing statement, Ms Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan told jurors that the former president “acts as if these rules of law just don’t apply to him.”
The facts in the case have already been established, and Mr Trump is barred from disputing that he sexually abused her, leaving a trial focused exclusively on damages owed.
Mr Trump instead has used the trial to amplify his defamatory statements and as a stage for his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, which has relied on his multiple lawsuits and criminal indictments to cast him as a victim of a baseless conspiracy theory of a weaponized justice system against him.
Hours before his appearance in federal court on Friday, he posted a video of himself to his Truth Social account in which he accused Ms Carroll of lying and being a paid political operative.
