Donald Trump has warned he will fly to New York to “confront” E. Jean Carroll as her rape and defamation case against him comes to an end.
The former president addressed her “false” allegations that he raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman hotel room in 1996 while answering questions at his golf course in Ireland.
He also called her a “disgrace,” less than 24 hours after the court played the infamous Access Hollywood case and a former People magazine journalist testified that Trump allegedly kissed her and pushed her against a wall in Mar-a-Lago. pushed.
An irate Trump also called Judge Lewis Kaplan “extremely hostile” and insisted the trial was a political attack on a candidate “leading the polls by 40 points.”
During his round at his Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, County Clare, he also called President Biden “incompetent” and criticized his golf playing.

He told reporters on Thursday: ‘I have to leave Ireland and I have to leave Scotland where I have great properties. I have to leave early. You don’t have to, but I choose to.’
Then he was asked if he will attend Carroll’s trial.
“I probably will and I think it’s a shame,” he said.
It’s a disgrace that it should happen to a rich man or, in my case, to a famous, wealthy and political person who is 40 points ahead in the polls.
“And I have to go back for a woman who made a false accusation against me, and I have a judge who is extremely hostile and I’m going to go back and I’m going to face this.
“But this woman is a disgrace and that shouldn’t happen in our country.”
However, his attorney Joe Tacopina questioned Trump’s appearance during the court proceedings.
He simply said “no” when asked to confirm Trump’s travel plans.
He had also previously told the court that the defense would not bring any witnesses – ruling out the possibility of Trump appearing on the stand to refute Carroll’s allegations.
His visit to Scotland and Ireland coincided with the second week of the Manhattan trial over allegations, denied by Trump, that he raped Carroll in the department store dressing room.

Last night, Trump had expressed confidence in his position in his Manhattan rape trial during a tour of his golf course. He said he skipped the court date because of his “longstanding commitment” to visit Ireland.
But less than 24 hours later, he changed his tune.
Earlier, former President Biden attempted a series of punches while speaking to reporters at the golf course where a standard membership costs $3,100 a year with a $1,250 entry fee.
“Do you think Biden can? I don’t think so,” he joked after turning off and driving off in a buggy that read “President Trump” on the front.
Trump, donning his famous red Make America Great Again cap, added, “Biden isn’t hitting 280 right in the middle, is he?” Biden can’t get 80 in the middle.”
When asked if he was confident he could beat Biden in the next US election, he said, “I could win it three times.”
It was Trump’s third day hitting the greens after playing at his two golf resorts in Scotland this week
