Just as it is not up to you and your proclamations.
What i think will happen, is Trump will be advised to accept how screwed and trapped he is. He will not want to tie up about $100MM (you have to cover the interest for the entire time of the appeal) and he will instead be pushed by advisors to offer E Jean a settlement amount to end the case and go away. I am guessing it will be about $25MM and it will get settled closer to $40-50MM. A lump sum up front and the rest in payments over a few years.
This verdict has really trapped Trump, because if he believes he is a good business man, tying up $100MM for years and years during appeals, means he makes nothing on that money. If he thinks he, Trump can invest it in himself and make about 14% annual return he would make $100MM (double the money) in about 5 years.
So a smart business man realizes that. Wants to get rid of 'debt lock' ASAP, so they can get back to earning money. Meaning if Trump could make E Jean go away for $40-50MM, (pay 50% lumpsum and 50% over 5 years) and he invested the $40MM he knocked the verdict down by + 50% hold back amount being paid over 5 years he would make back the money he paid E Jean in about 3 years and be whole again.
Or he can be dumb. Tie up $100MM for 5 years, gain NOTHING from it, and then lose it all.
We all know what a smart person would do. But we can all admit we are stymied as to what Trump might do. Because he is dumb.
