Following a drama-packed week of testimony and arguments in the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial against him, former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account and posted a firehose of screenshots from Carroll's various social media accounts, apparently intending to discredit her with every single thing he could find in which she had ever discussed sex.
Carroll has alleged the former president raped her in a New York City department store in the 1990s. A jury has already found Trump liable for sexual abuse in the matter, as well as defamation for repeatedly claiming Carroll lied to advance her writing career. The current trial in New York is solely about assessing damages and doesn't revisit these findings of fact.
The Truth Social posts, which spanned a period of over a decade, were sourced from Twitter, since renamed to X, as well as Facebook.

In one post from some time in 2011, Carroll allegedly wrote, "How much porn should a man be 'allowed' to watch every day?" "How do you know your 'unwanted sexual advances' are unwanted, until you advance it?" she is accused of writing in another post from late 2015. "There is no such thing as a slut. Only sexual geniuses," she wrote in a post from 2014, according to Trump.
Several other posts discussed anal sex or penises, or showed racy images of women.
Trump also posted a few screenshots of Carroll praising his former reality show, "The Apprentice." In one from 2012, Carroll wrote, "Two [sic] many good TV shows on Sunday Night! My God! What do YOU watch? I'm a MASSIVE Apprentice fan." In another from the same year, she simply liked a reply on Facebook saying, "You should be on the Apprentice."
