Advice to Donald Trump: Go Bankrupt.

Liquidate your assets. Pay off your creditors a few cents on the dollar. That would mean that all those shadowy lenders will then have zero claim on you. You'll be free of any hold the Russian oligarchs have on you and you might even be free to do something good for the country, like single-payer health coverage. Think Putin's agents would come after you? You're the President of the United States. You're as safe as it's possible for human beings to make another. And after the presidency? I haven't seen any ex-presidents living in poverty. Have you?

You'd be free. You might even go down in history as one of our gutsiest presidents. So, what do you say?

While he's still got all that borrowed money, he can parade around like a rich man. While he's got his stolen office, he can be spiteful to everybody who has ever dissed him in the past. And wherever he goes, there are cameras and bright lights and microphones and big crowds to convince him he exists. It's the best of all possible worlds for him.

And make no mistake, he only ran out of sheer spite. He has no interest in doing the job, only in exacting revenge.

exceptions: The court may deny the debtor a discharge if it finds that the debtor failed to keep or produce adequate books or financial records; failed to explain satisfactorily any loss of assets; committed a bankruptcy crime such as perjury; failed to obey a lawful order of the bankruptcy court; or fraudulently transferred, concealed, or destroyed property that would have become property of the bankruptcy estate.

How much do you want to bet Dolt 45 has done or would do all of those things? Especially the fraudulent transfers and concealment.

You forgot about Jr, Jared, and Ivanka. They need to maintain that lifestyle, and wouldn't let that happen.
