Ms Carroll, 80, told ABC News on Monday: "I'd like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates.

"If it will cause him pain for me to give money to certain things, that's my intent."

The former magazine columnist suggested the money could be used to set up a "fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump".

"fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump".

It should be a civil lawsuit fund. Pay the legal bills for other women to launch civil lawsuits against him. Bury the fucker.

Oh this is a much better idea. I was thinking like... vegetables? But now I hope for your thing instead:-).

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

I was thinking build a windmill next to maralago.

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago

Oooh not bad - username does not check out in this case!:-)

A non-profit that handles lawsuits where powerful men have grabbed women by the pussy

I'd donate to that cause

[-] zzzz@lemmy.world 67 points 11 months ago

I suggest spending it on additional defamation lawsuits against Donald Trump.

[-] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 25 points 11 months ago

I like her idea better. Helping others would definitely piss him off.

;)

[-] zzzz@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I doubt it. I don't think information that doesn't involve him directly even enters into his awareness.

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Helping others sue him on the other hand...

[-] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Give it to mexico, would piss him off more than anything. They have this real bad ~~cocaine~~ sugar problem and need to get it out... Or so Ive heard... From a ~~friend~~ neighbour...

On a serious note, getting mexicans across the border to get citizenship would give him a heart attack

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months ago

Anything that hurts Donald Trump financially is helping others.

A smart move would be to spend on a get out the vote effort in swing states.

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

Especially mail in ballots

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

Hire armed guards to guard the ballot boxes from armed 2A nutjobs

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Absolutely this. I hope she does it.

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 26 points 11 months ago

Planned Parenthood and the ACLU

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago

I don't think Trump actually has opinions on those organizations because they don't affect him personally. To him they're names he can mention to rile up his cult.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago

I suggest gay wind farm.

[-] 58008@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

Donald thinks I'm a complete cunt, wouldn't piss on me if I were on fire atop Obama's presidential bed in a Russian hotel. He considers me to be worse than Hunter Biden's laptop.

Just saying.

[-] skulblaka@startrek.website 7 points 11 months ago

Can confirm; this guy is a real asshole. Just, really, fuck this guy. ~~because he got here first to say this~~

[-] Steve@startrek.website 16 points 11 months ago

How many could she buy?

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Trump probably doesn't actually hate anything... His crippling narcissism would stop him from focusing on something else long enough to hate it. He's an opportunist that repeats what he's told to publicly discourage by his handlers, but he couldn't tell you the things he "hated" yesterday.

Just ask the last guy he spoke to what they hate and you'll find it

is she actually going to get the money?

[-] d00phy@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

If he loses the appeal, I believe she will. He has to put 120% of the award in escrow with the court while the appeal process unfolds. The extra is actually for interest and fees, so if the appeal takes awhile, she might actually get more (if I’m understanding that correctly)!

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

He has to put 120% of the award in escrow with the court while the appeal process unfolds.

That's a very important part of the process. It does 2 things.

1: makes sure the victim can actually get the money at the end of the process.

2: prevents pointless appeals that have zero chance of success. Or at least makes the appealer think about the implications of losing a frivolous appeal.

A million dollar donation to any Democrat in a close race.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 5 points 11 months ago

On something he hates?

That’s… just a lot of salad, I’m not sure how much salad that can buy.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Um, maybe she could try to:

"Blunt the knives, bend the forks

Smash the bottles and burn the corks

Chip the glasses and crack the plates..."

🤷🏼‍♂️

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Trump hates my guts

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 3 points 11 months ago

Donate to anti oil efforts.
