Imagine how quickly business at his premises will dry up when he ceases to be President. Trump Hotel in Washington is the go to for lobbyists and visiting foreign dignitaries even though there’s a cheaper 5-star hotel close by. IIRC, one country booked and paid for a whole floor even though it wasn’t used. A few months ago, Trump put it up for sale on the strength of that custom but nobody was interested as patronage would plummet immediately after any sale. Trump even mothballed a long-planned move by the FBI away from its building close to Trump’s Hotel no doubt because he’d lose custom from those visiting the FBI!
Then you have the frequent trips Trump and his extended family make to Trump properties. That forces the Secret Service to pay Trump for their accommodation and food in those places at inflated rates. The expectation is that Trump will move to Maralago for the 2 months of his lame-duck presidency if he loses so he can rip as much money from the public purse as possible.
