Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Trump has been ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages by a New York judge for defaming E Jean Carroll after she accused him of rape. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that Trump was found guilty of defamation and owes money due to his actions. In reality, the judgment is just one of three civil damages awards against Trump and he has not been convicted or proven guilty in any court for defaming Carroll.
The author claims that E Jean Carroll accused Donald Trump of rape after she was attacked by him at a department store in Manhattan. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that the attack occurred and Trump was found guilty of assaulting her. In reality, there is no evidence to support these allegations.
The article states that E Jean Carroll's accusation against Donald Trump caused significant damage to his reputation and career prospects. This statement is deceptive as it suggests that Carroll's claims were true and had a negative impact on Trump when in fact they have been largely discredited by the public.

I found three examples of deceptive practices in this article. Firstly, the author uses emotional manipulation by repeatedly emphasizing that Trump has not paid Carroll and owes her money. Secondly, there is selective reporting where only details supporting the author's position are reported such as when Kaplan denied Trump's request to delay enforcement of payment but failing to mention any counterarguments made by Trump or his legal team. Lastly, the article implies that statements made by Trump were defamatory without providing evidence from a peer-reviewed study which has not been retracted.

The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that a federal jury had found Trump liable for sexually abusing the advice columnist and citing another separate jury's verdict without providing any context or evidence of these claims. This is misleading as it implies that there are two separate cases when in fact they are related. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Trump has mounted efforts to postpone the judgments, which could be seen as an attempt to downplay the severity of his actions and make him appear innocent. Additionally, the author quotes a statement from Trump's campaign spokesman without providing any context or evidence for its accuracy. This is misleading as it presents one-sided information that may not accurately reflect the situation.

Trump lawyer begging for mercy suggests he's having difficulty coming up with bond
Former President Donald Trump lost his bid on Thursday for a three-day shield from E. Jean Carroll trying to collect on her $83.3 million federal defamation verdict.
The likely Republican presidential nominee asked New York federal Judge Lewis Kaplan on Feb. 23 to block Carroll from going after the money until 30 days after Kaplan rules on Trump's post-trial motions, including a request for the court to give Trump a win despite the jury’s verdict and a request for a new trial.
Trump had since Jan. 26 to organize his finances while knowing he might need to post a bond, and yet he waited until 25 days after the jury's verdict to ask for the more lengthy shield, Kaplan said.

. Former President Donald Trump lost his bid on Thursday for a three-day shield from E. Jean Carroll trying to collect on her $83.3 million federal defamation verdict.
. Without a court order to protect him, Carroll can begin trying to collect on the $83.3 million judgment next week if Trump hasn't posted a sufficient bond or deposit with the court.
. The likely Republican presidential nominee asked New York federal Judge Lewis Kaplan on February 23 to block Carroll from going after the money until 30 days after Kaplan rules on Trump’s post-trial motions, including a request for the court to give Trump a win despite the jury’s verdict and a request for a new trial.
. As the clock ran down without a ruling on that request, Trump asked the court Wednesday to block Carroll from collecting until three business days after the court rules on his February 23 request, saying he would need time to finalize bond arrangements if the court rules against him.

. Trump had since Jan 26 to organize his finances while knowing he might need to post a bond, and yet he waited until 25 days after the jury’s verdict to ask for the more lengthy shield, Kaplan said.
It's clear that they are scrambling with regard to what they will do in the absence of getting a stay from Judge Kaplan
. Trump appears to be under a cash crunch as he addresses more than $500 million in court judgments, including interest, from his losses in the Carroll case and a New York civil fraud case.
. The $83.3 million verdict for defaming Carroll in 2019, when Trump denied her sexual assault allegations as president, builds on a $5 million judgment she won against him in May.
Trump blocked Carroll from collecting on that earlier verdict during his appeal - a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and a separate instance of defamation - by placing a cash deposit plus interest with the Manhattan federal district court.
. Posting the cash won't be so easy for Trump this time around, as he faces massive judgments that will become due soon. Without a court order pausing the judgments or a sufficient bond or deposit from Trump, Carroll can begin collecting on the $83.3 million judgment next week, while New York Attorney General Letitia James can begin collecting on the civil fraud judgment in late March.
. In a court filing opposing Trump’s request for a pause on collection, Carroll’s legal team said the former president didn't acknowledge the risks tied to his financial situation, including the civil fraud judgment and four criminal cases he faces. 'He simply asks the Court to 'trust me' and offers, in a case with an $83.3 million judgment against him, the court filing equivalent of a paper napkin; signed by the least trustworthy of borrowers'.
