Nope. The First Trial (2023): A federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million in damages. Then, a Second Trial (2024): A separate federal jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million. $65 million in punitive damages and $18.3 million in compensatory damages) strictly for defamation. However, no money has been exchanged because it’s tied up in the courts forever.

Savings Account for Baby

Be careful with savings accounts. I made an account in elementary school at a local bank. I had a couple hundred dollars in the account. However because I was not making money, I stopped adding pocket change. At some point Chase bought out the local bank. In that merger Chase changed my account from a no-fee student savings account to a maintence account. With that change, Chase started taking $5 a month! One day I got a statement that said they closed the account because of insufficient funds. The bastards stole all my money! So make sure there are no fees for non-use or some stupid crap like that.
