In reply to the discussion: Lawyer for E. Jean Carroll says Trump wants to delay $5 million payment in sex abuse, defamation case [View all]Ocelot II
(131,905 posts)35. It's not the money so much as the fact that the judgment is irrevocably final.
Obviously he has enough money (and the money to pay this judgment is being held by the court anyhow). But once it's actually paid out to Carroll and sitting in her bank account, the loss is final and official. He had to fork over a pile of bucks to a woman because he was found to have defamed and sexually assaulted her and she now has his money once and for all to prove it. It's that he's a loser and finally had to pay up for being a loser that he can't stand.
