The former president, who is appealing the judgment in his civil fraud case, asked an appeals court to let him avoid paying the full amount in the meantime.

It’s pretty clear he doesn’t have the cash to pay the judgement in full, and will need to sell illiquid assets at a discount in order to pay the full amount.

      If I had an interview with Trump, I wouldn’t go after his big lies. I’d keep hammering away at all the little ones.

      “Who is John Barron?”

      “Who were the detectives you sent to Hawaii to investigate Obama’s birth certificate.”

      “Why did you say you had walked in on the Miss Teen USA contestants?”

      This are three that instantly come to mind, but I’m sure I could find hundreds more

        I feel like anytime he’s face with facts, he changes the subject and starts rambling again. Sea lioning Gish Gallop I believe it’s called. Multiple reporters have tried to do what you suggest, but mostly it’s futile. His brain only knows how to construct incoherent rambling and insults.

        One Axios reporter did do a good job once though iirc.

        Edit: Gish Gallop is the term I was looking for, as gracefully pointed out below! Thank you!
