E. Jean Carroll, fresh off her victory in a federal appeals court on Monday, bragged about employing “tricks” in order to sway a jury hostile to President Donald Trump.
To win the case, Carroll said she and her attorneys sought to make her “f**kable” in the eyes of jurors who might otherwise have been doubtful that President Trump desired to sexually assault her in an upscale department store dressing room 30 years ago.
“I had a talkshow in 1996. I went through that, took screenshots of my hair, cut it in a bob, and then I found the hairdresser and the makeup person who made me look like that in 1996,” Carroll explained in a recent interview.
The makeup artist “came every day to trial” to “do my hair and makeup” before Carroll faced the jurors.
It was “exactly like it was in 1996. I wore the exact same clothes,” she continued.
Of course, the passage of time makes it impossible for Carroll to fully transform into her younger self, “but I looked like someone who could have looked like” the victim in the case, she laughed.
“It was enough, it was enough. It was a trick,” she admitted.
President Trump was dealt a setback on Monday when a second federal appeals court ruled that a lower court did not err in upholding a judgment against him. Carroll was awarded $83.3 million after first alleging in 2019 that Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman store in the mid-1990s.
Though he was not found guilty of rape, a New York jury found Trump liable for civil battery and defamation stemming from statements he made about the case.
In his appeal, Trump leaned heavily on a 2024 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which concluded that presidents are immune from official acts taken while in office, thereby rendering him immune from the suit. The court’s rejection of that argument followed an earlier rejection by a lower court, as reported by Reuters.
Trump has denied ever meeting Carroll and dismissed her lawsuit as frivolous, Just The News reported.
“This woman is not my type!” Trump wrote in 2022 about the former fashion magazine writer.
Trump’s 2022 social media post resulted in a $5 million judgment, but the largest portion — $65 million — consists of punitive damages after a jury found Trump acted with malice, the NYT reported.
Attorneys for President Trump have promised to bring their appeal to the Supreme Court.
Mixed messaging over the decision has resulted in defamation claims brought by Trump, as well. ABC News reached a $15 million settlement with Trump following George Stephanopoulos falsely claiming Trump had been found guilty of rape multiple times during an interview.
Often the foulest fiend shows up in court in a nice suit and tie, haircut. She was despicable before this, but it goes with the game.
“..she and her attorneys sought to make her “f**kable”.”
Talk about blind justice.
The woman who named her pet cat “Vagina T. Fireball.”
The appeals court was just as corrupt as the first court. This idiot woman had absolutely ZERO evidence.
A photo of her can turn a prisoner who was released after 70 years off
It’s a Manhattan jury she could have looked like Janna the hurt and they would have found Trump libel
Just tell the Clinton’s that she said Chelsea is a pig. That should do it.
Every lawyer uses tricks to manipulate the jury, and every juror has witnessed it. Every juror with more than two functional brain-cells recognized the attempted manipulation.
She didn’t need to trick anyone. The jury had their instructions from the judge and EJ’s lawyers. It was Manhattan in a civil case. There is no way they would NOT vote against TRump and the judge wouldn’t have let them anyway. They judge didn’t even allow any exculpatory evidence to be called by Trump’s lawyers.
He was found guilty before the jury was selected.

She’s a LAWYER...!
Notice, she can remember the exact year she bought a dress but not the exact year she got raped.
Would it be expecting too much from one of the female Supreme Court justices to require that before proceeding any further that the woman has to come up with a solid date when she was raped. Women can always remember when they were raped.
She lied under oath.
Screw the judges and courts. Don’t pay her a dime.
BTTT
Pssst, that’s “Jabba the Hutt” and “liable”.
“”””A photo of her can turn a prisoner who was released after 70 years off””””
I looked at the instructions on a bottle of Viagra.
It said if you have a stiffy that lasts for more than four hours.....just look at picture of her.
“They judge didn’t even allow any exculpatory evidence to be called by Trump’s lawyers.”
The best exculpatory evidence would’ve been Trump’s testimony, under oath, denying the accusation. (Unsworn denials at rallies and on Fox News don’t count.) Trump’s problem was that, in the first trial, his lawyers advised him not to testify. So the jury heard one side of the story while Trump, instead of presenting the other side, sat there mute.
At the second trial, the judge applied the long-standing rule that you can’t re-litigate matters already decided. The courts don’t want to be plagued with endless demands for do-overs. The first jury’s verdict that Trump had committed sexual assault was binding on the second jury.
In this case justice was blind, deaf and dumb. And outrageously wrong.
