He seems to have lost money by being president, much as he tried to monetize the presidency, but he gained a bigger, more fanatical cult following than he could have dreamed of, and even the fawning praise of some "intellectuals" who should know better. If there's one thing that Trump cares about more than wealth, or being perceived as very wealthy, it's adulation. And he got it without having to put much actual work into presidential duties, since he had other people to do that.
Balanced against that adulation is the awareness that even more people than his followers have come to hate and despise him. The thing is, he could have probably had the adulation if he had stuck to the media end after a losing run at President... and would probably be less hated.
