He's still not actually paying her. He's just securing a bond that lets him avoid paying while he seeks an appeal. Just keep kicking the can down the road.
"Donald J. Trump on Friday posted a $91.6 million bond in a defamation case he recently lost to the writer E. Jean Carroll, staving off a potential legal and financial disaster just days before a deadline to secure the deal. The bond, provided by an outside insurance company, will prevent Ms. Carroll from collecting the judgment while Mr. Trump appeals."
He’s just securing a bond that lets him avoid paying while he seeks an appeal.
Forcing Trump to come up with $92M he doesn't have so he can't completely welch when his appeals fail is funny enough that it was probably worth Carroll's time.
She's going to get her money now though. I wonder what sort of collateral he had to put up to secure this bond. I don't know if I'd want to be the insurance company trying to get that collateral back after all his legal cases leave him bankrupt.
The point of the bond is that if the appeal fails, the court just hands the money over - shes probably more likely to see the cash this way than if he didn't appeal.
Appeals court doesn't give you a "do over" - they don't try the case again, they don't re-decide facts. Appeals court lets you argue that the previous court made an error in procedure. Given how competent Carrols' lawyers were and how totally incompetent Trump's were, I doubt they will be able to find anything.
