Trump claims that he’s going to appeal, but in order to do that in NY, he must place 120% of the judgment amount into an escrow account until the appeal is complete. Since he’s definitely going to lose, at that point, the state would simply give the money to Carroll. It may be the most certain way that he’ll pay. 
He can definitely delay so long as there are appeals tied up. After that, every time he digs in his heels it’s another round of lawsuits until a court has the balls to hold him in contempt and put him in jail or else order asset seizure through a cooperative bank or the like.
What do you think is the timing on it? Can he delay forever like he does with everything else?

Edit: 120 to 100
edit 2: 100 to 120
Why 120%? To cover the interest that will accrue during the process?
Typo. I meant 100%. I fixed it.
You were correct the first time. It’s 120%.
lol, ok, fixed it again

sorry I didn’t answer before— I don’t know why 120%.
Lol I was just joking around. Another article mentions it’s to cover interest.
sorry I didn’t answer this earlier— I don’t know why 120%
edit: according to some others who have answered this: it’s to cover any interest which might accrue during the appeal process.
