Trump lawyer requests a four-week delay in the civil rape and defamation lawsuit against the former president, arguing that he should be allowed a 'cooling off' period following his recent historic indictment by a Manhattan grand jury.

On Tuesday night, Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina asked U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan to postpone the trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, scheduled to start on April 25, until the end of May.to Kaplan, cited a surge of media coverage concerning Trump’s indictment and arraignment in the case involving hush money payments made during the former president's 2016 presidential campaign.

Tacopina drew parallels between allegations by Carroll and adult film star Stormy Daniels, who alleged she had an affair with Trump and was paid to keep quiet. He argued that jurors selected to hear Carroll's allegations will have the media coverage of Trump's alleged extra-marital affair with Daniels"still ringing in their ears" if the trial is not delayed.

Well, and then there's the fact that the star witness forgot to tell that a DNC billionaire was funding her rape allegations. And maybe her lawyers forgot to correct that testimony during a deposition. Oopsie.

Just give him a ketchup enema and a diaper change!

He has already had more than 2 years , just since they ran him out of Washington, to resolve these issues. Procrastination and stalling by him and his army of lawyers is not out fault. He and his followers have been telling us he could walk on water. This should be easy for him

Cover this democrat media

The audacity of the rich and privileged.

Then he should have “cooled off” and took a break from his corrupt and alleged illegal activities.

Do my black 🤦🏾‍♀️

More election interference by the Biden clowns of soros… four more years of Biden is what the globe needs Oligarch treason …

Hahahaha

Nope! Justice delayed is justice denied!

That’s ridiculous…unless his mind is going.

The question is will I be afforded such a request as an unknown litigant? If this is not something that's available to all litigants regardless of status, then it should be denied.

His legal problems are of his own making. He’s a “Tuff Guy,” ( so they say) he can go to court like anyone else! Put on your tuff guy pants 👖 Donny Boy.

the fuk is a 'cooling off period' to the law?

Are you kidding me?

More stall tactics. He drags out every lawsuit against him. You would not be afforded the same privileges.

Russia Russia Russia Have you ever issued a retraction for 8 years of false stories? Trump was just awarded 122,000 dollars for legal fees. Stormy must pay.

Hysterical, a 'cooling off' period while he actively pours gas on the fire. You just cannot make this shit up.

This is so effin funny, this orange mess claiming he “needs a rest…” the perfect example of a snowflake 😂😂

No!!

The indictment will still be there in 4wks & possibly others too... she waited so long to get justice she should not be delayed any longer... do delay is to add further harm, it's time for justice to have its day in court

orange man

No way! He’s had long enough!

Wow

Nope.

The only way the Democrats can defeat Trump, the people's President, is to lock him up. It is their only hope of destroying America. In 2020, Biden was in hiding. Now everybody knows Biden is a frail, failure and fraud .

Leave him alone, it's so Political what you are doing to him.

No

Hey if you can’t take the heat, go directly to jail.

How long does the cooling off period take?

But they’ll have to really thread the needle if they are going to ever be four weeks away from any indictment of Trump.

Historical flop of an indictment

So he thinks he owns the judiciary,making different set of rules for himself

Trump says he likes chaos.

Sad. lol

No way! get it done

A cooling off for someone who has not stopped talking, typing on TS, doing interviews and rallies, yes take that to the judge

Come on. He’s the strongest and most powerful and smartest man America has ever seen. He can handle these bs law suits with ease. Bring them on!

Cooling off eh? How about colonoscopy time instead

No.

🤣

No!

Please tell me any other person in this country who could ask for such a crazy thing

Tell him No, he's acting like a snowflake❄️

Lol. Any excuse from the renowned con man known as donald j trump. So many suckers buy the bs this guy sells….

His whole life has been a “cooling off” delaying tactic to avoid any and all consequences of his unjust deeds. No more delay. NoOneIsAboveTheLaw

Lmao it's a civil lawsuit like you said. That means it's just another woman looking for a free hand out. If he seriously did rape her why is she not going for a criminal case instead? Exactly. It's just another money grab to make another successful man look bad. Not happening.

Do other defendants get “cooling off” periods?

He shouldn’t be such a criminal scumbag.

L🤪L

He has had years of cooling off… He is a crook

He still thinks he’s ENTITLED to “SPECIAL PRIVILEGES”

No. That's not how the law works. Just shut up and show up and take whatever you get just like the rest of us. You're not special. You're a fraud. The country has plenty.

Hahahah

How about this, NO

Poor baby

LOL

No, Donald Trump needs to be treated like everybody accused of a crime.

They loved him so much at his arraignment that NYC policemen were crying for him, yet people hate him so much that he can't get a fair trial. Like the value he places on his properties, it all depends on what he's tryin to get away with.

He needs to stop the threats.. he brought this on himself oh, and he needs to stop lying

BS

NO WAY!

Imagine doing so much horrible shit you need to ask judges to give you breaks between court appearances.

Always whining.

Trump is shaking in his shoes. Wait until Jack Smith has him. Trump will have to take a page from mob boss Vincent ‘the chin’ Gigante who feigned insanity. TheLeadCNN FrankFigliuzzi1 MSNBC HouseDemocrats HouseGOP SenateGOP SenateDems

I think the ‘cooling off’ period is so Mar a Lago can restock their ketchup supply. Someone keeps throwing ketchup bottles.

No. No. No. Time he steps up

Ridiculous get on with the trial

🤡🤡🤡

Is that powder under his nose? 🤔

It's HIS fault he is in all this trouble! HE committed the crimes and should have the full weight of his horrible crimes and actions slam down on him with its own full force because he did it to himself. It is not the judiciary's responsibility to ease the effects of his crimes.

This will go on forever.

'Cooling period' 🤣🤣🤣 He can get all the time to cool once he gets into his orange suit.

the usual strategy...delay,delay...🤮

DethB4DCaf Is that a thing? Cooling off period?

jcstaton1 That’s all he does with court cases since the 80s … delay, delay! 🙄

“Cooling off period” hahahahahaha what a Snowflake! Cant walk too much? Please! Man up and show up in court!

LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP

CatLadyWTX F-Trump. He just glorified authoritarian leaders.

CatLadyWTX Hope this is not allowed.

Ridiculous!

That is the weakest excuse ever.

horse matter, has already been put off way too long, another of his delay, delay tactics

🤐🙄😶🙃

And then they will ask for another delay for some reason. Try him now and make him pay up when he’s found guilty

“My client has so many legal proceedings due to his crimes that he should be allowed to delay this one!” 😂

They are just making up stuff at this point.

No

😂😂 is that a legal thing?

oh plsssss u have got to be kidding!!!!!!

Delay. Delay. Delay. Playbook

CatLadyWTX Trump: Your Honor, as you know I’ve been on a seventy year crime spree and I would like a cooling off period in order to commit enough new crimes for the Public to forget about the ones I’m currently on trial for. realDonaldTrump ejeancarroll ManhattanDA NewYorkStateAG

i.e. Trump needs a nap

Ha

He will be lucky if all he gets is a reprimand from the Judge after slapping a key witness with a multi-million dollar lawsuit!! WitnessIntimidationTactic

Nope. Won’t even get four days.

CharminSoft

We like Presidents who do not need cooling off periods.

Nope!

Bullshit!

OMG

Keep ‘em coming, no delays needed

I hope this was the judge's reaction to Phony Soprano's request.

NO

Who told him to commit so many crimes?

Is that something that other people are allowed to do-NO!

Sorry, bud. Time to suit up and show up for the consequences of your actions 🤷🏻‍♀️

Waaaahhhhhh! His feefees are hurting.

Crack me up 😂 he’s no better than anyone else who has been charged

Bs

Are we positive they are trying him as an adult? “Cooling off” periods are for five year olds sitting in a corner.

The Trump prosecutions, in total. Rinse, repeat

But in four weeks, he'll have been arraigned again.

Trump playbook. Delay all legal situations

Pffft... Typical, DECADES long, DELAY tactic by Trump and his cronies. Get outta here. DonTheCon TwoBitHustler

What a snowflake!! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

The adverse publicity was encouraged by Trump, who publicized (a bit too early) his own arrest, and declined to be arraigned over Zoom, opting to travel to NYC to assist the circus. This motion will be denied.nytimes

Aww… poor baby! Delay tactic!

He can cool off in a jail cell.

So he's not in enough shape to be president again

Constantly in 'hot water'. So sad.

🤣🤣

lol

if it were any of us we would be in jail for years. no justice in this world

MFer’s had a lifetime of cooling off period.

Awe the poor baby. He seems to be able to commit crimes at quite a clip I think he should be able to show up for accountability

He didn’t seem to need a cooling off period between all the crimes he committed.

Nope! Also that shit down. He had time to beak the law over and over…maybe if he stayed off TS he could cool down..

F that. Why does he get a pass.

He does not deserve that at all!!!! Lock him up!!!!!

Ooh, poor baby Trump! He needs a “cooling off period” from one of his trials because he’s - what? Tired? Exhausted? Afraid there are angry mobs waiting for him in NYC? No delay. No coddling baby Trump. No mercy.

No effing WAY

I hope the answer is no!

Then this dude better get a fan, I foresee lots of cooling down coming. ✌️🇬🇧

No

More delay tactics. His lawyers should be censured and disbarred for this motion. Enough is enough. Convict him and send him to Guantánamo Bay detention camp now.

Nope nope nope

Wait, who needs to cool off? Put him in an ice shower and he'll be good to go.

Requesting a delay for attention he brought to himself. I hope the judge rules a hard no & the case proceeds.

Nope lock him up and send his wife to Russia and let's make stormy VP🤣

Oh please. Alpha male needs a fainting couch.

At what point is this clowns delays, bullshit tactics and counter suing everyone considered as obstruction.

Who doubts he would spend the 'cooling off' period fanning the flames.

Amendment XXVIII - the right to a “cool down” period. Look it up, it’s in the thing! 😆

No. He'll get plenty of cooling off while in jail. 😁😁😁

Bwahahahahahaha 'a cooling off period.' I'm starting to think Trump's attorneys graduated from Trump University.

NO! DID HE DELAY IN RAPING THEM? DO OTHER CIVILIANS GET SUCH SPECIAL TREATMENT?

It just gets thicker & deeper...

🤣, delay,delay,delay...! tick tock donald.

Another stall tactic, I see.

So in other words TFG just got called a snowflake by his attorney. 🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆

If he is innocent then go ahead and get it over with, or maybe he can just hide behind the 5th again.

Eff word.

A 'cooling off' period?! Get out of here with this shit!!

We wish there was media coverage of the indictment. It was a huge disappointment

Did they actually say that with a straight face? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 TrumpForPrison2024

I'm, how about 'No'?

BS

DELAY DISTRACT DISRUPT NO !!!

We've all waited long enough. Perhaps he's hoping he'll be president again and it will all go away. It's time for the truth, as awful as it may be, to come out.

Garbage. That’s not how crime works.

No

Aww poor baby he needs a mental break lol.

Hell to the no!

😂🤣😂🤣 the coward is scared

I hope you all have this same energy when the Biden pedo crime family is hold accountable for their crimes.

Nah criminals don't get a cooling off period

There is no time for cooling. The dude is one bucket of KFC away from dropping ☠️

Who does he thinks he is?

Montpellier21 Stop breaking the law and you’ll have less overlap.

He’s worried the trial will cool off his fundraising over the indictment.

Nope…. Let’s roll

'I shouldn't be held liable for these potential crimes because I'm still really mad about being held liable for some of my other potential crimes. Can I have a time-out, please?

yes then ReadeAlexandra can get her case against JoeBiden and atensnut can get her case against BillClinton

Nope, let justice commence

Blah blah 😑

No!

Puh-lease.

Trump can take a flying leap....

'your honor, my client is just a tiny, wittle baby and needs a nap-nap.'

No one wants to cool off. We have been denied justice for 2 years because our AG is working for Trump.

His has had years to 'COOL OFF'. Move on with this and lets be done. Tears of joy....

Maybe don't commit so many crimes, then?

Screw him

So much criming. He needs a criming calendar/ datebook! 🥴

hope the judge tells him he can cool down in a cell

Why should he get a 'cooling-off' period? He's not sick, he doesn't have a nervous breakdown. His tongue and his fingers are very active. He is on the samw level as any other criminally charged individual. He doesn't deserve any special treatment.

He should go get the cooling period jail.

Pathetic, Whiny, narcissistic little man child

Cooling off period so that he can continue riling his cousin f*cking terrorist base up for the civil war sequel they’ve been obsessing over since they lost the first one.

We still have the Acess Hollywood tape 'ringing in our ears!' This falls under the category of 'your problem, Donald.

And deny his right to a speedy trial? No thanks!

I other words, he is broke.

Guys, he's still working on that healthcare plan. 🤡🤡🤡

🤣🤣🤣

No, no, no, no. He is reaping what he sowed.

He will have the rest of his life to 'cool off' after he deals with all of his crimes. This is an amazing (arrogant) ask.

Come at him fast and furious.

Lol. What happened to the *tough fighter'? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He can sit in ice water.

lol 🤣🤣🤣

Hell no!

Hope the judge denies it.

Creepy orange old man needs to face the music NOW not later. Rapist

Cool, so if I murder some dudes and then rob a bank, they can postpone my robbery trial until I'm feeling better about my murder charges?

Delay delay has always been Trump’s way. Not this time

Mr. Middle Finger needs time to cool off?! What a joke! MrBigShotWhoDoYouThinkYouAre

He needs a safe space ..what a snowflake.

😂😂😂

Who are the snowflakes again?

Nope!! He should've been in prison decades ago 👿

Stay off your Truth (actually Lying) Social site that will cool you off LocoTrump

Uh. No

What?

Imagine being one of these Commies cheering this on while the Domestic Terrorist Biden Regime sold America out to our enemies, sold children into sex slavery, and fucked some children along the way.

Why? Why should the state wait any longer for his trial?

Martha Stewart did her time , orange should be allowed to do his time in Russia .

Hahahahahahaha

What about the VICTIM? How long should this continue to be delayed? This isn’t all about tfg!!!!!

Why does tfg get a 'cooling off' period when nobody else does? This is just a delay tactic. Nothing more.

This dude wants to run the U.S.A., but can’t handle all the multiple court cases he’s in? Maybe stop criming so much.

So it's official, then. He IS actually a big baby, who threw a temper tantrum.... and needs a time out!! SMH

And a month later, he will have some other excuse for delaying the trial.

Try to find a time when Trump news ISN'T damaging! 🤣

Cooling off period? Oh please.

No “snowflake time” allowed! Be a man!

This effing never ends lol. What was the last 20 years! Get on with it already

Shit's rolling downhill on the crook.

How many years has the Criminal Trump delayed this? I pity the Criminal Trump's lawyers as they will NEVER be paid - suckers!

Whiteness and money sure are a powerful combo cause I know my broke black ass wouldn't be given a 'cooling off period'.

The privilege 🙄

he’s not well

He's had enough delays

No. That would not be allowed for anyone else on the planet NO

NO!

Trump can give all of us a cooling off period when he goes away forever

Do other criminals get a four week delay?

No

he's not special

“He’s potentially committed so many crimes he needs a break” is one fuck of an argument regular people don’t get to make.

Ahh Trumpie need a nappie?

NO!

Trump lawyer seeks monthlong delay in trial over rape claimAn attorney for Donald Trump is seeking a one-month delay in the trial regarding a columnist’s claims that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. Attorney Joseph Tacopina contends that Trump's right to a fair trial depends on a “cooling off” period following the former president’s arraignment last week in a criminal case. The trial for E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against Trump is set for April 25. In a letter Tuesday to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, Tacopina cited what he called “the recent deluge of prejudicial media coverage” surrounding Trump’s arrest and court appearance related to allegations that he paid hush money to an adult film star, Stormy Daniels. Well that never happened No. Full effing no. RichardIrmi Trump is always trying to kick the can down the road. Obvious stall tactic. Pretty soon he will claim he can't attend the trial because he's running for office.
