When it comes to his personal life, former president Donald Trump is far from wholesome: from the legendary Aspen face-off between his first and second wives in 1989, to the public humiliation Melania endured at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, the women in Trump’s life haven’t always had an easy time.
Although Trump paid millions to divorce Ivana and Maples, those sums are nothing compared to the hundreds of millions owed as a result of the myriad civil and criminal trials currently facing the former president. True, the most spectacular of those settlements – the $454 million Trump must begin paying today as part of a fraud settlement in New York – is not directly tied to Trump’s unseemly bad-boy behavior. But like the tens of millions more that are, today’s massive bill, and the possibility that his assets will be seized to cover it, suggest Trump can no longer hide from his history.
Beyond his actual wives, there are ladies like Stormy Daniels and E. Jean Carroll, the former a prostitute reportedly paid $130,000 back in 2016 to keep silent about her alleged relationship with Trump. Nearly eight years later, Daniels is still in the headlines as Trump seeks to have their case delayed or dismissed as his legal team continues to pour over thousands of pages of potential new evidence.
Carroll, meanwhile, was awarded some $83.3 million by a New York jury back in January who found Trump guilty of both disparaging her and denying her allegations of rape nearly two decades earlier. This was on top of the $5 million Carroll was awarded the previous year in a similar proceeding.
Trump, of course, has appealed the latter Carroll decision via a $91 million bond earlier this month. The strain of that nearly nine-figure penalty is part of the reason Trump is now scrambling to come up with the far larger half-billion bond he must post later today. The chickens, it seems, are coming home to roost – and Trump is running coops to house them.
