But Donald J. Trump will always be called “Mr. President” by those around him, which will gall many to say it. And he will have certain other privileges such as some office staff provided with government funds, Secret Service protection for himself and some family members, an eventual Presidential Library, and an eventual State Funeral. And maybe a government pension as “mad money”? Being an ex-U.S president involves many services, privileges, and honors that if monetized in value would be quite a sum. I doubt Trump, as perhaps the wealthiest person in modern times to hold office as president, would turn them down.
