Trump looking for new lawyer (good luck with that)
Any lawyer thinking of taking on Trump as a client better get paid up front. And in cash, not by check. He's been stiffing people his whole life. Why would anyone think he'd change now? (Somehow, no one feels bad about his stiffing Giuliani.)
At one point, he was talking about hiring Alan Dershowitz, but the Trump/Dershowitz/Epstein "massage" rumors would inevitably come up.
You just know that, even if he pardons himself and it's declared legal, New York will go after him and they probably have enough in financial crimes to put him away for life. No sane lawyer wants to get mixed up in that.
Meanwhile, as Trump is packing up, the White House staff better count the silverware.
