I wondered about it myself for a while, because hitching one's wagon to Trump has not, historically, ended well. I think the folks who are doing so are motivated by two things. One, the power and perks. These won't last forever, but they're nice while they do last. Two, they're all setting themselves up for a book deal. They all know the inevitable crash is coming, and by God, they're gonna capitalize on it when it does.

That's legit the only halfway rational reason I can think of for someone to cozy up to Trump.
