Trump has businesses that are overall not very lucrative, the biggest mountain of debt in history, a bunch of expensive legal battles looming, and a damaged brand. But he does have 70 million adoring fans.
I imagine his next move must be to maximize revenue from the rube army. He could buy Newsmax or OANN if he had the money. More likely he becomes the face of someone else's new network with as big of a salary as he can muster.
If he is even slightly savvy and cautious, with this grift he could make his grievance farm lucrative enough to last the rest of his life. He can't ride it forever (see Sarah Palin) but he could absolutely stretch it out for a decade.
But as successful as Trump has been at brand building, he has proven to be a bad businessman. I would not be surprised if he blows it and suffers a lot of anguish and failure from now through the end of his life. He sure fucking earned it.

Nominal - 2020-11-08 I'm thinking a "PR firm" or lobbyist group that's essentially GOP candidates funneling money and favors to him in exchange for favorable Tweet endorsements.

Hazelnut - 2020-11-08 He still has almost three months to be President. Maybe he’ll start a war. Maybe he’ll stand back and let Putin take Estonia. At the very minimum he’s going to make sure coronavirus spreads as widely as possible as a ‘fuck you’ to the country that rejected him. And you know the pardons, maybe even self-pardon are going to be vile.

Nominal - 2020-11-08 There are boomers still in denial over "losing" Vietnam. Trump's fans aren't going anywhere. They've been chugging the bleach for so long that to doubt him now is to doubt themselves.

If there is a god above, Trump will go down for tax fraud, and I would be soooooo happy with that. It's the little things.

Honestly, best case is that the split between Trump personality cult people and establishment types after the later got the judges they wanted and didn't support a coup deepens and intensifies.
