2. Ronald Reagan had big ambitions like this after he left office. The blowback over the venality...

....of his asking price per speech was such that pulled back from those plans. He no doubt felt a little bit ashamed, an emotion completely foreign to Trump. I think Reagan gave one high buck speech in Japan and it was just such a tedious repeat of his idiot, note card talking points that the reviews were so bad that there was talk that the Japanese wanted a refund.

3. How many times would they pay to hear the same bullshit? I'd like to see what kind of crowds

Trump would get if he even charged moderate concert ticket prices. I don't see a Trump tour making any money, especially with him running it.

Melania Trump will command between $75,000 and $125,0000 in the States and up to $175,000 abroad as long as she stays married to the former president. Should she divorce him — as the rumor mills like to speculate — or writes a tell-all book, her fees would likely jump higher, the gossip site reported.

I could be wrong, but once he is out of office his can’t even pretend to help them. I wonder how long he will hold their attention without a carrot to chase. I’m guessing the monied interests in the GOP are looking elsewhere and will take a pass. No one has to offer him their venue. He has stiffed so many places that they will demand prepayment and there is nothing he can do.
