What happens to Trump's "Business" if he is no longer President ?

Would he be able to engage in all the corrupt deals he use to do since there would be more attention to anything he tries to do.

Wouldn't the the oligarchs and others no longer use him for things like laundering becsuse of attention it would bring ?

And hasn't he been making money on current business becsuse of foreigners hoping to influence him becsuse he is president ? And him charging tax payers by having secret service and other govt related officials stay at his businesses.

What do all of his kids do ?

Wall Street folks have donated more to Biden's campaign, than to PINO's.

Wall Street’s financial support for Biden is more than what Barack Obama received in his two presidential runs combined. It exceeds the amounts raised from Wall Street executives in support of Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 cycles.

Trump and his kids probably have money hidden overseas, but they will be a lot poorer by the time the courts and creditors are done with them.

would avoid staying at any of orange pustule's properties. If they are trying to curry favor with the next administration it would seem to me that making a show of avoiding the rump's properties/businesses would be the best course of action.

the clean money is invested, dirty money laundered in bankruptcies and failed ventures. Prison can change that.

Nah, once he has no money and no real power, they'll both suddenly forget who he is.

He will no longer have the DOJ as his attorneys. So he will hire lots of them, then stiff them and hire more. Lather, rinse, repeat.
