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.

Donald J. Trump offered a New York appeals court on Wednesday a bond of only $100 million to pause the more than $450 million judgment he faces in his civil fraud case, saying that he might need to sell some of his properties unless he gets relief.

It was a stunning acknowledgment that Mr. Trump, who is racing the clock to either secure a bond from a company or produce the full amount himself, lacks the resources to do so.

Once a deadbeat always a deadbeat.

...he might need to sell some of his properties unless he gets relief.

I have a smaller one to play for him:

That looks like a cello to me

Dammit! They assured me at Instruments By The Nanometer that it was the world's smallest violin!

Just photoshop in a chin rest and nobody will be the wiser.
