Closing take

If you wanted the clean, disciplined general-election pivot, January 28 was not your day. The Trump operation was still stuck in the same loop: deny, attack, delay, repeat, and pay for it later.

The Carroll verdict kept following Trump into the campaign

★★★★☆Fuckup rating 4/5 Serious fuckup

A New York jury’s $83.3 million award to E. Jean Carroll on Jan. 26, 2024, gave Donald Trump another legal hit to carry into an already volatile presidential race. The case was about repeated public attacks on Carroll after an earlier jury had already found Trump liable in a related case.
