    My understanding is that it must be paid in 30 days or, if he wants to appeal it, put into a trust or something. Effectively, removing his access to the money until the appeal is resolved.

      Do you have a source on that? If true, that would be delicious.

      What happens if he doesn’t pay?

      I really want him to pay, but his previous behaviour makes me think he just won’t.

      And there’s a limit to what anyone else can do about that.

        My understanding is that the independent monitor that is tasked by the court to monitor Trump’s finances and assets would be able to make the payment with Trump’s assets. So basically, either Trump can make the payments himself or someone else will instead.
