Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.

The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours.

      I present to you the only proof that he’s a billionaire: He said so. That’s valid, right? Right? Guys? Anybody?

        In the instance of the court setting damages, I’m happy to accept the highest valuation Trump has to offer

      In late stage capitalism, having a billion and owing three billion means you in effect still have a billion.

      It’s not like with normal people who have to subtract debt from assets and actually pay what we owe.

      So yeah, he’s a billionaire in all ways that affect him and will be until he dies, which can’t happen soon enough.
