My theory:

IF Trump is thoroughly out of office (hopefully with a Dem in the WH) BUT he's still calling the shots from Marl-A-Lago or Bedminster, then it's probable that he has dossiers on Republicans (and maybe a few Dems) to lean on them.

It won't be because he can return to office. If he's politically a dead fish and still telling Republicans how to support the oligarchs, still pushing his social agenda, etc., then it really can't be another reason.

Making money and accruing power, exactly revenge on others.

There is no more to it than that.
