Greed. Trump has been hawking for money ever since he got into politics.
Asking for donations to fight the election result and now for his legal defense fund.
I‘m pretty sure he was using the secret documents he didn‘t turn over as an extra perk to sell access to MaraLago. Maybe he even sold some: we will never now.
It is not just greed. If the leader of a cult pays from his own pocket, and becomes poor in the process, this can be actually interpreted by his followers as a weakness, and there is a higher possibility that they will abandon him. The leader of a cult has to be strong, and part of this means he makes the followers pay, while he remains rich and powerful. It is twisted logic, but that's how cults work.
