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".

"Revenge is committing a harmful action against a person or group in response to a grievance"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge

It’s better they get revenge instead of literally saving people’s lives.

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

Yes, its harmful because she feels Donald trump would hate that she's supporting the women he's sexually assaulted or harrassed. He repeatedly defamed her by insisting he didn't sexually assault her, and so as "revenge" she's going to support his other victims with the money that used to be his... Wow, what a waste. Fuck those rape victims, amirite?

There is such a thing as more than one worthwhile cause. If you wanna argue about the fact she suggested that as one possible use for the money you can, but earnestly taking issue with the idea of using the money to support his other victims because it's not going towards the issues you're personally most invested in is insane.

Supporting rape victims as revenge against someone who has repeatedly been accused of, and now found guilty of sexual misconduct, is a perfectly just cause.

It's not insane to support saving lives over getting revenge.

These people are clearly biased.
