    I find this case very difficult. I've listened to the claims, but I also see the other side's defense. At this stage, I just can't say for certain if it's the truth or not. I'm feeling quite conflicted and need more clarity.

    Wait ... so the Accusation that "Trump and the White House was lying" is a lie is true? Yet again, the horrible phrasing and grammatical oddity that results from the "everything can be a lie if I say so" raises its head.

    The evidence suggests that the settlement was not only about resolving the IRS dispute. It also contained additional provisions that benefited Trump and related parties. Therefore, if Trump or the White House presented the settlement as merely resolving the lawsuit, that description was incomplete.

    No. The public explanation left out significant parts of the agreement. By omitting provisions that extended beyond the lawsuit itself, the White House did not provide the whole truth about what the settlement contained.

    Again, it's hard to be certain. Is there a kernel of truth surrounded by exaggeration, or is the whole thing a misunderstanding? I've lived through enough to know that things are often complicated. I'm listening to the arguments from both sides, but I haven't reached a point where I can say this is 'nothing but' the truth. My uncertainty remains.

    No. Because important details were omitted, the public was given a misleading impression of the settlement. Even if some statements were technically accurate, they did not reflect the full reality of the agreement. Therefore, the omission of key information can reasonably be interpreted as a form of deception.

I'm looking for more clarity and trying to stay fair to both sides while I'm on the fence.

    It's so hard to know what's truly in someone's heart or mind. Was any potential misinformation a deliberate plan to mislead, or just a different way of looking at a complicated situation?

    It is a good example of how the lower level lackeys are necessary to make the dictator. However there is something strangely pertinent to this whole procedure. The idea of compensating opposition that is unfairly dealt with by an administration. Trump,is simply asking for the idea to be turned on its head when he leaves office. Penalising a President who has caused so much harm and corruption should be a requirement of the separation of powers.
