Impeachment
While Trump doesn't have to worry about conviction, the process of impeachment can worry him nonetheless.
1. Investigations
2. Facts, ugly facts on the record
3. Ridicule and humiliation
4. Bespoiling of Trump's "brand"
5. May result in aiding indictment(s) of his children
6. Potential loss of money, perhaps another bankruptcy
7. Loss of influence via Republicans in the Senate and internationally
8. Small loss of popularity in his base (They'll never admit they bet on the wrong horse)
9. Trump will never regain the status that he enjoyed pre-2016, e.g., celebrities stopping by Trump Tower to pay their respects, Trump sightings, perhaps Putin not taking his calls
