As former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump found himself on the hook for another $83.3 million for continuing to defame E. Jean Carroll following a jury’s verdict last year ordering him to pay her $5 million for doing that decades after sexually assaulting her, he responded in character by continuing to defame her.

After walking out of her lawyer’s closing argument, he whined on social media that her story about him forcing himself on her in a Bergdorf Goodman changing room in the 1990s was a “Hoax” — quite possibly setting himself up for still another huge payment from a future third jury.

This couldn’t be happening to a nicer guy, by which I mean a guy who’s spent his life bragging about having his way with women and who talks endlessly about using the law to lock up his real and perceived enemies.

The question, as Trump will have to either put up the money while he appeals the jury’s verdict or find a bank willing to front it for him, is if his mouth has finally written a check that his ass can’t cash.

Or will he keep getting away with this stuff by winning another presidential election and becoming, in effect, too big to sue........
