"Trump's Financial Struggles: How He Could Raise Half a Billion Dollars to Settle Judgments"

Donald Trump is facing a cash crunch as he seeks to raise over half a billion dollars to satisfy judgments against him. With deadlines looming, including an $83.3 million defamation case and a $454 million civil fraud case, Trump's lawyers are exploring options such as selling properties, tapping capital markets, or finding another source of cash. The former president's ability to raise funds is complicated by his legal and financial troubles, including four criminal indictments, and the reluctance of major banks to lend to him. Trump's attorneys are also considering the possibility of securing a bond, but the sheer size of the judgments presents practical challenges in coming up with the required cash.
