First of all, celebrity status is a mixed blessing. It usually cones with a high income but also with a loss of privacy. If a celebrity does something that Humanity starts to condemn, like sexual harassment recently, one can be ruined and shamed as nobody else can be.
Donald Trump has inherited great wealth from his father, but otherwise he has mostly been famous for being famous. People wanted to deal with him because he is Donald Trump. He has shown himself as the sort of person with whom you count your fingers after dealing with him. Now he is President, and he is shamed for the swine that he is.
He has protection from some consequences of his prior misdeeds because he is President. I expect Democrats to go through a wringer to determine whether they might have walked off with something from the store.
Yep. I'm sure they'll be working hard to undermine his efforts and try to find all kinds of stuff that they can use against him and possibly use for an attempt to impeach him with either. I'd expect most other issues relating to American citizens to take a back seat to the issue of Donald Trump. Well, we get to see whether the Democrats are worth saving or whether getting rid of them/letting go of them along with the blues would be better for America in the long term.
Donald Trump is the first President since at least Andrew Johnson to have developed a non-zero chance of being overthrown in a military coup. The Armed Services and the CIA surely dislike his cozy and corrupt relationships with Vladimir Putin and the Russian mafia. Robert Mueller has been nailing one after another person who has done dirty work on his behalf, including the President's personal attorney. The most basic rule of legal ethics is that an attorney must never become complicit in a client's crimes. So what counsel must an attorney give a client who commits crimes? A hint: the best way to avoid legal problems is to avoid doing things for which one can face a lawsuit or criminal charges.

Donald Trump has already undermined himself.
I have a suspicion that the current objective of Robert Mueller is not to take down Donald Trump. At that he has already done overkill. He may be working on another target. Initials are MP, and that does not stand for 'military police' or 'Member of Parliament'.
