This week, we had some lawsuit news. First, Donald Trump lost a defamation lawsuit to a crazy lady, and now he has to pay $83 million. You’ll remember that Ron DeSantis decided to sign legislation that protected young children from LGBT indoctrination in schools. Disney, one of the biggest corporate promoters of LGBT activism, sued him. And the lost their case.
Here’s the first story about Trump, reported by Daily Wire:
A jury found former President Donald Trump should pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages in a defamation trial that ended on Friday.
The amount awarded to Carroll is well over three times more than her legal team asked for in its closing argument – $24 million – and more than eight times the amount Carroll requested in her initial lawsuit — $10 million, according to CNN.
The jury found that Trump owed Carroll $11 million to cover the costs of a campaign to repair the harm done to her reputation and $7.3 million to address the emotional harm the 80-year-old writer sustained from remarks Trump made in 2019 about her and her accusations of rape. The jury ordered Trump to pay another $65 million in punitive damages.
Trump likes to run his mouth when he has nothing to gain for his supporters, and everything to lose. And then he gets hammered for it. He lacks discipline. He lacks self-control.
Meanwhile, DeSantis got sued by Disney, except he got sued for doing the right thing for his supporters – he passed the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, and Disney was mad.
Daily Wire reported on his win:
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis beat Disney on Wednesday after a federal judge tossed the company’s lawsuit that claimed the governor retaliated against the company.
The company filed the lawsuit after DeSantis dismantled a special Disney-controlled tax district that gave them the power to govern themselves, claiming that he retaliated against them for publicly criticizing his Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, which empowers parents to make the best decisions for raising their children and protects children from being exposed to dangerous leftist gender ideologies in school.
Disney employees have been involved in a lot of disgusting situations with kids. It’s nice when someone competent goes up against them, and wins. We need a winner. Someone who knows policy and the law. Someone with self-control, who isn’t an easy target for the secular left. Someone without baggage, who has won elections as a Congressman and as Governor of Florida. Twice.

Yeah Trump lost a lawsuit where the judge was a mentor for one of Carroll’s lawyers when they worked at a law firm together (Roberta Kaplan) and officiated at the wedding of Carroll’s other lawyer.
Funny that.
Must totally be because of Trump running his mouth though. No conflict of interest at all…
I mean, after Kavanaugh why do you keep believing these jokers?
