A New York judge on Friday formally ordered Donald Trump to pay $454 million, including interest, a move that will give the former president one month to post nearly half a billion dollars to appeal the fraud verdict.

Judge Arthur Engoron’s signed judgment was posted to the court docket Friday, one week after he found Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump liable for fraud in the civil case brought by New York Attorney General Letita James.

Once Trump and the others are served with the judgment, the 30-day clock for them to file an appeal starts. During that period Trump will need to put up cash or post bond to cover the $355 million and additional roughly $100 million in interest he was ordered to pay. The sons were each ordered to pay $4 million back in gains they improperly received because of the fraud. The judge also banned the Trumps from serving as officers of a business entity in New York for several years.

Is the 30 day clock to put up the entire sun for appeals? If he can't what's he repayment plan?

If he can't, he doesn't get to appeal. Putting up the money is a prerequisite to an appeal. If he chooses not to appeal, or can't put the money in escrow, then the judgment is final and the court starts taking other means to actually collect the judgment, or as much as it can.

It seems likely to me that he will not be able to appeal, and that furthermore the court will not be able to collect the full judgment amount for the plaintiffs, and in that case they'll turn him upside down and shake him until every quarter falls out of his pockets.

Can we televise that, put it on pay-per-view, and use the proceeds to pay down the national debt?

I can only imagine what his hair will end up looking like.
