Donald Trump on Tuesday urged the Supreme Court to once again step into his messy legal brawl with magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll, appealing an $83.3 million jury verdict for defamation on the grounds that, as president, he is immune from the litigation.

The appeal, which has not yet been docketed at the high court, relies heavily on the court’s 2024 decision granting the president wide immunity for actions taken in office.

    This motherfuckers extremely fragile ego can’t handle any sort of loss, no matter the reason. That’s why he can’t fucking let go of the 2020 election bullshit along with this. The fucker has drawn this case out for years, and now when all the courts are done with his bullshit and forced him to pay out, he still can’t let it go.

      Yeah, Trump’s actions make a lot more sense when you view it through the lens of “he approaches every single interaction as if there needs to be a winner and a loser.” And his ego means he is truly obsessed with winning.
