Saturday Night Live Weekend Update host Colin Jost with some perspective on just how unlikable Trump is following the $83 million verdict in the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial.
JOST: The jury in his defamation case has ordered Donald Trump to pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million, and Trump is a billionaire, so obviously he immediately hit up your grandma for five bucks.
They ordered Trump to pay $83 million. That’s how unlikable he is. For perspective, OJ Simpson only had to pay $33 million for a double murder.
CHE: And he didn't even do it.
JOST: Okay... well... this trial must have driven Trump crazy. The judge kept telling him to shut up. The jury made him pay triple what the victim asked for. Even the courtroom sketch artist made him look... made him look like that lady who got her face ripped off by a monkey.
The only way this could have gone worse for Trump is if they took away his businesses, which is, of course, what happens in next week’s trial.
Trump claims he's going to appeal the Carroll case, and won't have to pay Carroll the $83 million yet, but he's going to have to either give the money to the court to hold, or post a bond until his appeals are exhausted:
