Badenoch's (Lack Of) Vision Quest

Although I suspect Trûmp's Will is written to make sure he keeps everything personally. "You can't take it with you" just won't apply to him. Or maybe it'll be like the Egyptian Pharaohs and he'll be buried in a golden tome surrounded by his wealth.

Or once he’s out of the Whitehouse and of no use all his debts will get called in and there’ll be nothing to pass on.

Now there's a thought ... maybe the bunker under the "Ballroom" isn't a bunker atall. Maybe like the Egyptian Pharaohs it's an elaborate tomb and he won't actually even be leaving the Whitehouse but when age catches up with him, he'll be in a Golden Tomb but still in the Presidential Residence.

There's limits on what you can give away before you die. The tax folk view it as disposal of assets. They could soften any detrimental inheritance tax change by upping the limits a little.
