Carrolling, Carrolling

Writer Elizabeth Jean Carroll (I'm not calling her E. Jean Carroll, because every time I hear someone say that, I think they said "Eugene Carroll")  won her sexual assault case against Donald Trump, and she probably got more help from Trump himself than her lawyers.

Trump did not testify on his own behalf, despite indications that he would, but he did record a deposition on video, in which the man who, from 2017 to 2021, was the leader of the free world, reaffirmed his position that celebrities can do anything they want, which means male celebrities can pull a few muscles when they want to because they're entitled - and have been for a million years.  (That's quite eye-opening, especially since human beings have only been around for 200,000 years at the most.)   But the biggest error Trump made was when he insisted that Carroll was "not my type" but then misidentified Carroll (at left) in the photo below, mistaking her for someone who is his type - his second wife, Marla Maples.

Except that here he's with Ivana, his first wife, and he failed completely to identify the gentleman that Carroll is actually with - WABC-TV newsman John Johnson, Carroll's husband at the time.  If he thought Carroll was Maples, who did he think Ivana was - and who did he think Johnson was - the waiter at the party they were attending?  Well, he couldn't have thought this black man was Carroll's husband, because a guy like Trump probably doesn't understand that black-white marriages are a thing. 

I mean, did he ever meet the Thomases? 

Carroll was awarded five million smackers.  If Trump pays, he'll likely postdate the check until 2043.
