After the Supreme Court decided not to review his case in the E.Jean Carroll lawsuit, leaving a jury’s decision in place that required him to pay about $5 million for sexual abuse and defamation, the president quickly posted on Truth Social saying he was the real victim.
“Surprisingly, the Supreme Court refused to review a fake case brought against me,” Trump said in frustration.
He claimed Carroll’s accusations were made up, criticized New York’s legal system, and called the whole case part of a “weaponization and lawfare” effort against him.
“This case is really against the United States of America,” Trump wrote.
Sorry, old man, it’s against YOU — for doing something really bad in a store dressing room during your “When you’re famous, they let you do anything” time.
A group of regular Americans heard the evidence and found that Trump sexually abused Carroll and then attacked her publicly when she spoke out.
Several appeals courts looked at the case.
Now the Supreme Court has chosen not to help him, even though he had nominated some of the judges.
Trump was especially upset that New York lawmakers created a temporary law that allowed survivors of sexual assault to bring older claims that would otherwise have been blocked by time limits.
The law was meant to help survivors get justice, but Trump, who sees everything as being about him, thinks it was only made to bother him.
“New York State made a law, for a very short time, going back many years, just to wrongly ‘get’ me,” he complained.
Trump’s post shows that, despite all the criminal cases, civil rulings, fraud judgments, and courtroom losses, his favorite role still remains the same one he’s played for years: the victim.
But it won’t help him now.
