The new amount is because he didn't stop defaming her after the initial trial. Like he went on TV to continue defaming her right away. I don't know what the appropriate amount is, but that feels like a jury deciding that the $5 million was clearly not enough to get him to stop.
Regardless, the civil system has some issues I'm guessing. But Trump will never pay her a dime which is also part of the issue.

If he doesn't appeal how would he avoid paying? This judge doesn't seem like the type to just let him not pay
