great question because the case was based on defamation in the first place.

I mean if the dumbshit traitor Donald Trump had just kept his mouth shut when the book was published None of this would be happening, So when he lies some more what can they do, I don't know.

Have to show damages, to prevail. Could she be damaged more now, probably not because the argument would be only his idiots would still believe his lies, whereas in the case decided today it could be argued others believed his lie a few years ago etc.

Court system has never really had to deal with someone at this level of notoriety who never, ever tells the truth. I dont think.

yes because each instance would be a separate incident. If he is stupid/mentally ill enough to continue to defame her, and I think he is, a new case could be brought and an added claim for stalking/harrassment could be included.

Depends on whether it is the same lie

Her lawyer can claim "you repeat a lie often enough, people start believing it" and claim that the injuries persist - she can't heal.

And the jury can punish with treble damages claimed.

Her lawyer would probably send a letter warning him.

extreme he gets. Punitive damages could get very high if he incites all kinds of people to go after her for instance like he did to his perceived enemies/detractors the day of the insurrection. There could also be a criminal component to the stalking/harassing. Usually a decent lawyer will advise a client who has lost a case like the EJC one to go forward and forget there is such a person and never mention them or anything about the whole matter ever again. But we know that's not going to happen because of his extreme mental sickness. In his twisted mind he has lost and now he must get payback. That's his M.O. all along. As others have pointed out his whole reason for running for President again is not about doing things for the country etc. It is to carry out a vendetta against those he feel wronged him in 2020 and to "punish". I think, as we see in the documents case, there is no line he will not cross. I believe that if he feels he will lose in 2024 he will have no hesitation in selling every last bit of info he knows about our national security system or anything else as a way to do as much damage to all of us as possible. It's what sociopaths do when they are faced with huge ultimate loss. They do it to show you they can still hurt you even though you've shown them the door.
