Not My Type are the words Donald J. Trump used in his response to looking at a photo of E. Jean Carroll, and then she used those same words as her book title as she provided the details of her life and the two trials that were held, the first for sexual abuse and defamation, the second trial for the same. Her subtitle is One Woman vs. A President. Of course, we know now that Trump lost both of those trials and was ordered to pay Ms. Carroll $83.3 million. Now, Trump hast lost his appeal and it is likely that this legal matter will probably be appealed to the Supreme Court. Although Ms. Carroll has yet to collect a single penny, the unpaid penalty is accruing 9% interest on a daily basis which apparently amounts to about $100,000 per day. Trump’s current debt to her stands at over $100,000,000.
There is so much to this book that I did not expect. Ms. Carroll has been a gifted writer throughout her adult life, and she readily applied her skills to these events. I liked the organization of the book as she told her life story, and described the personalities of and physical descriptions of the primary players in this ongoing legal drama. I’ve read no clearer evidence of Trump being an outrageous liar. I’ve come away with an admiration of the legal knowledge and skill by Robbie Kaplan and her team, and the inadequacy of Trump’s legal team. Mostly, I’ve come away with admiration for Ms. Carroll and her ability to stand up to Trump under unbelievable pressure. It is my opinion that Trump is hampered in choosing competent people to surround him as the result of his narcissistic, sociopathic, and borderline personality disorder.
Carroll tells a very good story. I literally could not put this book down.
