Jimmy Carter was told only on Election Day 1980 that he had no chance to win, so he had time in which to write a concession speech, among other things. Preparing to leave the White House begins, I assume, on the day after Election Day for the loser or even earlier for someone who has decided not to run or is Constitutionally precluded from running for President.
The defeated President is still President until the inauguration of the next one... but obviously the Chancellor of Germany and Queen Elizabeth II are likely to think "Donald who?" should Trump try to cut any deal.
