    He can’t appeal the amount. He has to put the amount into escrow before he can appeal. That’s standard practice for courts, so that people don’t try to weasel out of paying. Trump isn’t the first person to lose a big lawsuit…

    If all of Trump’s properties are under lien and he has nothing left in his bank accounts, then that leaves option 4.
