“10 days to prepare a writ of certiorari for the Supreme Court. They likely anticipated this, but still... 10 days”.

In plain English, what does that mean?

[Cboldt]

It means Trump has 10 days to write to SCOTUS, and argue why the appeals case was decided wrong and why SCOTUS should take it up and reverse it. SCOTUS says if he doesn't file that within 10 days, then the existing court decisions will stand.

That argument is basically a petition to SCOTUS to take the case away from the appeals court. A "writ of certiorari" is an order from SCOTUS to the lower court, ordering the lower court to give the case up to SCOTUS.

A type of writ, meant for rare use, by which an appellate court decides to review a case at its discretion. The word certiorari comes from Law Latin and means “to be more fully informed.” A writ of certiorari orders a lower court to deliver its record in a case so that the higher court may review it.
