The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Trump has maintained his innocence throughout Carroll's persistent claims, and the former president is now fighting back with his own legal complaints. There's no clear evidence of sexual abuse — let alone rape — and Trump is entitled to defend his reputation against the author's questionable claims.

Anti-Trump narrative

Since Trump was on the losing side of the jury's verdict, the former president has dramatically and consistently lashed out to no avail, and this is just his latest ploy to escape accountability. Carroll has continued to stand firm against Trump's intimidation, with a jury rightly finding him to be a sexual criminal — a mark that will forever taint his legacy.
