How long would it take him to decide being President isn't worth that?To paraphrase Mr. Spock, you proceed from a not-necessarily-correct assumption. What makes you think Donald Trump accepts that as President there'd be rules he couldn't just ignore? Especially considering that every president we've had for the last I've-lost-track-but-at-a-minimum thirty-six years has danced around plenty of laws to get his own way? Trump would probably just revive Nixon's infamous argument: "When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal."
