'Obsessive' Trump posted about E. Jean Carroll 37 times in 2 hours in late-night meltdown
Donald Trump spent two hours overnight posting smears and denials against author E. Jean Carroll ahead of his possible testimony in a defamation trial.
The second defamation trial involving Carroll will resume Thursday following a three-day delay due to a juror's illness, and panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" noted that Trump had made 37 late-night posts about Carroll before he possibly takes the stand.
"Trump and his attorneys claim he wants to testify in his own defense, but it is unclear if he actually will take the stand," said co-host Mika Brzezinbski. "The trial had been postponed since Monday due to a juror's illness. Trump has continued to defame Carroll, posting about her on social media at least 37 times over a two-hour time period late last night. This is not normal."

"We're talking about a guy – look at that guy, that's who the Republican Party wants to have represent them in the fall," added host Joe Scarborough. "We're talking about a guy still attacking this woman that the judge said he raped. It's unbelievable."
"In a defamation case, on the eve of taking the stand to try to defend himself against having to pay a bunch of money, his brilliant legal strategy is to be up all night, posting 37 times, going after E. Jean Carroll," noted co-host Willie Geist.
"Sounds very obsessive," Brzezinski added.
