Does he just ride off into the sunset?
Well, he doesn't actually need to land a lobbying position or do a speaking tour. He'll probably pay someone to write another book for him and skim a few mil off that though.
And whatever makes you think his brand is tarnished? The more well off of his backers will flock to his golf courses and casinos. His celebrity has been magnified many times and like I said, all publicity is good publicity. He'll continue making deals and money just as before but now he has millions of potential customers for any new businesses he may start in the future.
I'm not terribly worried about Donald Trumps future should he fail to become the President of the United States.
