    Actually this isn’t how it works (in most United States)

    If Donald Trump sues you, he has to prove that you harbored “actual malice” because he is a public figure and politician, and therefore enjoys less protection from slander than regular nobodies.

    You can raise the truth of your statements as an absolute defense, regardless of how malicious you were. But it’s still on you to prove it’s true, it at least a non-falsifiable opinion.
