I think almost everyone online is just speculating what could happen,

Yes, because nobody can consistently & accurately predict the future. They might get lucky once in a while, but there is no magic crystal ball.

Supreme Court throws out lawsuit alleging Trump profited illegally from presidency

The US Supreme Court on Monday threw out a lawsuit alleging that former President Donald Trump had illegally profited from his presidency, the Associated Press reports.

Democrats and members of the mainstream media have long promoted the idea that Trump was illegally profiting from his job as president. Many, but not all of these theories were somehow connected to Russia.

The allegations were that Trump had been in violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution through receiving payment from officials both foreign and domestic who paid for their stays at the Trump International Hotel, and purchased goods or services from other Trump owned businesses.

Trump had previously challenged rulings by lower courts allowing him to be sued for the allegations, alleging that a sitting President cannot be sued for this matter. The Supreme Court disregarded this challenge.

True, but what about what has already happened?
