Ms Carroll, 80, told ABC News on Monday: "I'd like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates.

"If it will cause him pain for me to give money to certain things, that's my intent."

The former magazine columnist suggested the money could be used to set up a "fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump".

Turnip Dump has been living rent free in the heads of every decent American since his presidency. If you weren't outraged at his bullshit, you lack a moral compass.

Yes this, it's absurd he's a frontrunner in what is essentially a two party system. As someone in a neighboring country, the impact a US president has on the world at large is scary. Like he could be commander in chief of the world's largest military...again? There was too much anxiety for his first term, of course people think about what he'll do in a second term and not just because of domestic issues. He disbanded the pandemic team that could have had a huge impact on COVID, that alone should tell people to be concerned. Of course we'll never know if it did but it'd be nice to know what that difference would have made, cause it wouldn't have been worse for sure.

I'm as outraged as anyone. Just thought it might help the healing process for her to try and focus the money elsewhere.

I hope you lose everything you have so that someone can come along and tell you "Just look at the bright side, stop focusing on the negative all the time. Pull yourself up from your bootstraps! If you had a better attitude you could get your life back together."

Don't worry, they meant well but are now a victim

That's what happened in my thread anyway
