The fact that he had run for President would have improved his brand name. I think that may have been his idea from the beginning.

But he was in the middle of making deals as he was running for president and he had no intention of stopping his business for a run at the White House. When he was declared the winner, he was still in the middle of a lot of "deals" with a lot of shady characters and he brought his business into the White House.

He still hasn't shown his tax returns to this very day.
