Trump found liable for sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll. Charged $5M.

"The verdict was announced in a federal courtroom in New York City on the first day of deliberations. Jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped, but found Trump liable for sexual abuse and for defaming Carroll after she made her allegations public."

I was hoping to be able to add 'convicted rapist' to Trump's many titles, but I'll take what I can get. May this be just the first of the many such allegations against Trump to be validated going forward.

And it still won't make any difference to most of his base. Marco Rubio called the whole thing a joke. Nikki Haley dodged the question altogether, which means she will still support him if she thinks she can get away with it.

They all play the same game, trying to keep Trump base while also trying to appear neutral.  Its even tougher for Nikki since she wants to run for President so she needs Trump base.  As for Trump base, lets be honest, they never cared if he rapped, assaulted anyone before so this case means nothing.  The more Trump can play the victim, the better his chances for winning any primary using the same tired tactics he has used before.  The only thing now is that those votes he got because people tought he was different isn't there anymore.  Either way, it will be interesting if he makes it to the finish line.  The GOP is trying everything they can to shield him but you would believe after 2020 that they would move on.
