Q & A

Why was Trump insulted and mocked at the recent donor dinner party?

He was insulted because Republican donors and party members are increasingly angry at how his antics are embarrassing the party, hurting them in polls, and wasting fundraising money that could help elect Republicans.

Will Omarosa Manigault Newman actually receive the full $83 million settlement amount?

Yes, legal experts believe she has a strong case and will receive the full judgement amount, whether from Trump directly or by placing leans or claiming assets.

How might Trump try to avoid paying the $83 million judgement?

He may attempt to declare bankruptcy, finagle away assets, or otherwise delay payment, but legal experts believe the judge will enforce mechanisms to make him pay.

Why did the RNC member propose declaring Trump the 2024 nominee already?

The Trump-ally RNC member argued that Trump's 32 delegates so far plus "all evidence" made it mathematically impossible for any other candidate to win, so he should be declared the nominee.

Why did Trump himself speak out against the RNC resolution?

Trump posted that the nomination should be decided "the old-fashioned way at the ballot box", but critics point out his history of denying election results when he disagrees with them.

Could Trump use donations and campaign funds to pay the legal judgements?

Potentially yes, but it's a gray area legally. It could also prompt backlash from donors and legislators who don't want their funds used this way.

What are Trump's current weaknesses despite his continued base support?

His weaknesses include losing the popular vote, low support among women and independents, declining cognitive ability, and unwillingness to debate opponents.

Did Trump himself possibly encourage the premature RNC nomination idea?

Possibly - he has a history of backing extreme ideas then publicly distancing himself from them when they seem damaging.

How might future defamation suits against Trump proceed?

More suits are unlikely from Carroll now, but this case will feed the public narrative about Trump's fitness and accountability issues.

How are donor funds typically used by candidates like Trump?

Rules vary, but funds are used for expenses like legal fees. Using them for judgements or fines is legally questionable.

😡 Trump humiliated at donor dinner party, faces backlash over wasted funds

Paragraph 1 describes how Trump was insulted and mocked at a high-powered donor dinner party. Republicans are angry that his antics are hurting them in polls and he is wasting fundraising money on lawsuits that could otherwise help them get elected. They want him to use the $83 million settlement to enact their policies rather than protect himself.

😠 Verdict meant to send message on accountability for abusing women

Paragraph 2 discusses how the trial and attacks on women like Carroll and Haley have weighed on Trump. The large verdict seems intended to send a message about holding men accountable for abusive behavior towards women. Trump will likely have to pay a bond on the full $83 million.

🤨 Trump hypocritically argues for ballot box decision after attempting coup

Paragraph 3 covers the debacle of the RNC member proposing to declare Trump the nominee when he has only won 32 delegates so far. Even Trump thought it was too much. Congressman Jeffries comments that it shows the MAGA movement ignores rules and results. Despite attempting a coup before, Trump now argues to finish the nomination process the old-fashioned way.

Keywords

💡defamation

Defamation refers to making false statements that damage someone's reputation. Trump was successfully sued for defamation by E. Jean Carroll after he denied her sexual assault allegations and accused her of lying to sell books. This demonstrates his pattern of attacking the credibility of women who accuse him of sexual misconduct.

💡settlement

The $83 million settlement refers to the penalty Trump now owes E. Jean Carroll after losing two defamation lawsuits against her. He is angry that Republican donors' money may be used by the GOP to pay this, rather than help elect Republican candidates.

💡donors

Wealthy Republican donors contribute money to support Republican political campaigns and causes. Trump is concerned that donations meant for the GOP may be redirected to paying his massive defamation penalties.

💡fundraising

Fundraising refers to Republicans generating donation money to use for political campaigns and expenses. Trump is wasting much of this money through his constant lawsuits centered on defending his own reputation and ego.

💡RNC

The Republican National Committee (RNC) oversees the Republican Party's national political operations. An RNC member proposed coronating Trump as the 2024 nominee, but Trump rejected this as it would bypass the normal primary process.

💡delegates

Delegates are party members who vote at the nominating convention to choose a presidential nominee. Trump chided the RNC for trying to bypass this democratic process and declare him the nominee prematurely.

💡polls

Early polls suggest Trump remains popular with Republican voters and could defeat Biden. However, his many scandals may still overwhelm him in a general election.

💡Republican party

The Republican party is angry at how Trump's self-serving priorities, lawsuits, and scandals are embarrassing them and diverting resources from enacting their political agenda.

💡January 6

The January 6th attack refers to the 2021 storming of the US Capitol by Trump supporters. It remains a stain on Trump's record and further erodes his public credibility.

💡Nikki Haley

Nikki Haley is considered Trump's top rival for the 2024 Republican nomination. Trump likely fears debating her and avoids opportunities that would directly pit him against another candidate.

Transcripts

so folks there are a couple things we

know about old Donnie one he loves to be

the center of attention and he loves a

big fancy party either he throws it and

he invites all of the people he sees as

his friends but we know he doesn't

really have that many friends if any at

all and also he loves having a party

thrown in his honor but that all went

sideways for him just in the last couple

days as at a fancy high-powered donor

dinner party type setting Donald Trump

was insulted and mocked and humiliated

largely by his own people as they back

down on a scheme to help him and as they

grow increasingly angry at how his

Antics are not only embarrassing the

Republican party and the conservative

movement and hurting them in general

election polling but critically how he

is wasting fundraising money money that

could help uh Republicans get elected

from the local level all the way up to

president Donald Trump is squandering it

through his ego and his massive lawsuits

and so I want you to watch all of this

it showcases Donald Trump being insulted

by top Republicans in these settings at

the dinner party and whatnot and it's

connected to the new $83 million

settlement because that settlement is

going to have to come from somewhere and

we know Donald Trump isn't going to want

to pay for it himself he's going to get

Don to do it and that is pissing off the

Republican Party who's like we need that

83 million to enact our evil policies

and Donald Trump is going to spend it to

protect himself watch all of this and

again if you watch the whole thing the

secret of YouTube I'm giving you a look

behind the curtain they'll put this on

the screen of Maga conservatives and

they'll actually actually for the first

time in their lives thanks to you be

forced to see the truth about their

insane cult leader and how even fancy

Republicans don't like him anymore

defamation claims probably higher uh

there may he may be able to bring up

some of the issues about presidential

immunity but that's already been

litigated as well so it's very unlikely

I mean there are been plenty of cases

where a jury Awards a huge verdict and

it gets knocked down later on do you

anticipate egene Carol actually seeing

this money uh completely she'll see this

money so the the kinds of ratios that

the courts get concerned about are

ratios over 6 to1 here we're well within

that range 6 to1 based on the person's

income or something based on the

compensatory damages so here compens

damages are 18 million so 65 punitives

with 18 million compensatory is not that

big of a ratio and I can't imagine any

Court having any problem with it is it

possible I mean you also hear you know

you there's been plenty of defendants

who have a big judgment against them and

somehow finagle away declare bankruptcy

or figure out a way not to pay do you

think he's going to pay I think he's

going to have to pay and whether it

requires him to sell something or to put

a lean on something to get a loan that's

his problem not ours he's going to pay

and judge Kaplan through judge

enforcement mechanisms will make sure

that he pays and indeed even to take the

appeal he's going to have to at least

put up a bond of 20% of the amount

you're obviously very experienced what

was this whole experience yeah Hugo uh

Trump says that he plans to appeal of

course uh he has even invoked the

Republican party in his claims that his

lawsuit was a politically motivated

attack uh your sources what are they

telling you about this and is this

number even being seen as something that

will effectively reign in Donald Trump

I'll start with the last part first and

I think the answer is no it won't be a

deter extraordinary the way they are

looking at it is basically we got caught

flat-footed we need to recalibrate and I

think you know this is part of the

thinking from inside Trump well that he

still you know needs to respond uh to

the egene Carol Case for his base for

his supporters because he wants to look

defiant still but they also don't want

another defamation suit you know I think

they were very surprised by the award y

say they did not expect anything close

to 83 million they were looking at the 5

million in the initial trial they were

thinking something close to that so I

think what they will do is they will

recalibrate you know we've seen this in

previous instances when he's been held

accountable for instance with a gag

order he starts going right up to the

line but he doesn't quite cross it and I

assume this is kind of the thing that

his team is looking at doing where they

can respond in kind without actually

prompting another defamation suit he

mentioned something could a third

defamation suit Joyce be brought if

Eugene Caroll chooses to do that you

know she could but these sorts of

lawsuits they're slow right we saw this

one took years 2019 to

2024 I think this is the end of the

litigation strategy at least as far as

egene Carroll um is concerned but what

this becomes now is part of the public

narrative about Donald Trump's Fitness

for office egene Carol I don't think

will go home following this judgment

I've I've known her for a long time good

friends I think she's someone who

believes that people men who do this

sort of thing should be held accountable

okay um this trial weighed quite heavily

on Trump Choice um this week he shared a

ton of vile false narratives and

statements about in blocking Donald

Trump's re-election it's no secret that

Donald Trump's appeal and support among

women is low his attacks against egene

Carol his attacks against Nikki Haley

are not going to help that nor is the

fact that he was instrumental in the

fall of roie weighed the jury's de

decision in this second egene Carroll

case seems like it was uh meant to send

a bit of a message how do you think this

is going to be perceived by the general

public and by by

women well I would hope that not only

women but men have pause before they

nominate for the presidency or certainly

elect someone who's an adjudicated

rapist and liar that's what the first

trial was about so you would certainly

hope that that would penetrate but I

think they are really um making a point

to the public at large that this person

doesn't think he is responsible doesn't

think he has to follow the rules thinks

he can abuse you and in particular abuse

women and that's simply not going to

going to fly by the way the bond that he

has to post in the first trial he didn't

even post the bond he just posted the

entire amount in escrow $5 million it

didn't help that he was going to um get

an appeal in that case so I think he's

either going to have to post the entire

amount account that's 83.3 million or a

make a payment on a bond which is

usually that he's out of pocket about

10% so uh I wouldn't count him on

getting him away Scott free from this

very large

verdict Danny I I've been sort of asking

everybody I I know about this question

and there's not a lot of precedent on

this one it's well documented that

Donald Trump uses campaign donations to

help pay for legal fees for himself as

as well as for other people in his orbit

um can that pool of money from

fundraisers and campaign donations be

used to pay for these penalties can he

can he fundraise somehow and use money

from the public to pay or his supporters

to pay the penalties yeah the rules have

been in flux over the last few years but

you're exactly right that we're in

unprecedented territory where you have a

political candidate who has massive

judgments and possibly eventually

criminal court fines uh and he may be

using those same funds to pay off those

fines Andor uh judgment so that could be

problematic legally aside it could be a

problem with donors who maybe this is

not where they want their funds

earmarked to go but that is all locked

into the complexities of this PC money

of donor money and how it's used as I've

said the rules have changed quite a bit

over the last few years and we're in a

kind of gray area but uh I imagine that

if Donald Trump moves to use a

substantial amount of these donated

funds to pay money judgments you may you

may see either some backlash from donors

you may also see some backlash from

legislators who would probably want to

clear to uh close up this loophole

because that is a little

problematic Jen uh one of the things

that um you've just written about the

polls seem to suggest nothing can make

break Donald Trump's hold on his base uh

recent polls have seen Trump pulling

ahead of Joe Biden in hypothetical

head-to-head matchups you warn that

people shouldn't shouldn't take this at

value in your latest newsletter you

write that Trump's weaknesses are quote

overwhelming so far Donald Trump has won

32 Republican delegates across two

states he needs

1,215 more to secure the nomination so

it was a little bit puzzling on Thursday

when a Republican National Committee

Member decided that was enough and

adopted a resolution seeking to declare

Trump the party's Presidential nominee

the resolution proposed by RNC member

and Trump Ally David bosy argued quote

all evidence negates the possibility of

a mathematical path forward to the 2024

Republican nomination by any candidate

other than president trump our

presumptive nominee the RNC rules say

you need 50% plus one to clinch it so

here you have Republicans trying to deny

delegates the opportunity to be heard

and cast a vote in essence denying the

Democratic process something even Trump

seemed to think was too much writing on

his social media site that the RNC

should not go forward with the

resolution a source tells NBC news that

it was withdrawn shortly after Trump

made his post Carlos carbello and Dean

obadah are back with me gentlemen I'll

uh Dean I'll start with you this

actually Congressman I'll start with you

your reaction to this debacle from your

former

party oh it's embarrassing Aman and look

it's not surprising this is what the

Maga movement is all about right

changing the rules uh ignoring uh the

results uh making exceptions uh if the

person you agree with won or if you like

them and you had a trump Ally basically

saying hey we have this whole process we

have this uh you know elections calendar

uh people in states are preparing to

vote uh thinking about who they're going

to vote for let's forget about it let's

just put the crown on Donald Trump's

head and uh I guess this was so bad that

even Trump himself thought this might uh

look bad do him some damage uh so he

asked Mr bosy to uh you know withdraw

that resolution but this is part for the

course this is how people who are part

of this movement think they think that

the rules uh don't apply to them and

that as long as they get what they want

that's all that matters Dean what does

it say that Donald Trump is the one uh

rejecting the coronation condemning the

resolution and actually making the case

that people should

decide look Donald Trump posted on

social media Aman reading from it we

should do it the oldfashioned way and

finish the process at The Ballot Box

this coming from a guy who attempted a

coup okay after 2020 who incited the

January 6 terrorist attack and now he

wants the oldfashioned way let's be

honest if he starts losing the delegate

count to Nikki Haley he'll be the first

to say stop counting the ballots it's

over this is rigged and the worst part

is the magga the mag part not the the

normal GOP part the magga part like

that's fine that's what we're dealing

with we're not dealing with a guy who

rejected doing debates and the GOP

Primary because that is a staple of

democracy letting candidate have a

candidate on stage let voters assess

that Trump said no to that he will not

debate Nikki haly and again it's another

rejection of democracy it's also Trump's

handlers protecting him from what is

clearly an honestly a dangerous

cognitive decline of Donald Trump so

don't go on the debate stage but look

this is just him playing games like he

cares about democracy that's hilarious

you should just say live from New York

at Saturday night at the end of it

because it's such a joke the interesting

thing was Congressman that Nikki Haley

came out against the resolution as

expected but she also suggested that it

might it might have actually been Trump

that was behind the plan you you think

that might have been the case that

Donald Trump maybe with a wink in and

not encouraged it only then to kind of

come out publicly and distance himself

from

it that's certainly a possibility amen

and it wouldn't be the first time that

Trump had an idea that then he realized

might actually hurt him and uh you know

hit the breaks on it
