I'm assuming that Trump is assuming that Putin and MBS and others will fill the funding gap with election interference strategies, just like in 2016, and, as Lev Parnas testified, 2020.

As SandyG points out, the recent judgments against Trump raise serious questions as to whether he's a national security risk. He has been reported to have failed so far to secure required surety bonds to prevent judgment creditors from beginning execution efforts against whatever assets he does have.** The fact that he has not been able to put up the collateral demanded by the 40 or so surety companies that have turned him down should cast real doubt about his financial condition. If he is able at the last minute to come up with the bonds after being unable to do so, financial reporters should look carefully at the transactions for any opportunities for concealing involvement of foreign interests.
** Trump no doubt learned from a master at concealing assets from creditors. A company I worked for years ago had a judgment against Roy Cohn going back decades. The company was never able to find 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 Cohn owned on which to levy.

Will we know who bails him out? If so and it's a foreigner, they will own him. The president of the US! Biden's ads write themselves.
Putin clearly already does.
