First, Trump can ask the District Court to stay its decision. If the judge follows the Watergate precedent, she might grant the stay conditioned on an appeal being filed within four or five days.
Second, Trump could appeal to US Ct. of Appeals for DC and ask them for a stay. Might be granted, particularly if the court is asked for and grants a request for expedited review.
Third, either or both Trump and the HJC could petition the SCOTUS for "certiorari before judgment" -- in other words, to skip over the Court of Appeals and go straight to the SCOTUS. This is the procedure followed in the Nixon case during Watergate, where both sides petition for certiorari before judgment and the SCOTUS granted the petitions "because of the public importance of the issues presented and the need for their prompt resolution." In the Watergate example, the SCOTUS ruling came roughly two months after the District Court ruling.
