The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
The DOJ is continuing its political witch hunt against Trump to derail the favorite for the GOP presidential nomination in his quest to return to the White House. However, truth is on Trump's side — as his countersuit against Carroll for her own defamation of the former president will reveal. Trump will ultimately defeat this scam and others like it.
Democratic narrative
At every turn Trump is accused of doing something illegal, defending himself under the presumption that because he was president he was immune from the law. However, just like his prior claims that he couldn't be held liable for actions he took while in office, such an argument has rightly been rejected and Carroll’s case will finally move to trial so she can obtain justice.
