It occurs to me that Trump has plenty of money, and reason to be confident of his eventual election. He knows how to hire good people -- why not start paying some of them now, in a quiet sort of way?

Imagine a list of really solid people who are not currently in the spotlight -- Derek Hunter? Allen West? Steve Forbes? Lawyers we've never heard of? Trump could hire 100 really brilliant (expensive) people and give them a range of assignments:

I want to end the SEIU as quickly as possible -- how could I accomplish that?
I want to build a wall, and some of the water rights along the Rio Grande are going to be a problem -- how do I solve that?
How could I do this?
How could I do that?

A phone and a pen? Trump could start work in Jan 2017 knowing precisely what he wants to accomplish and know precisely how he will accomplish it. If he wins in a landslide, and then manages to have achievement after achievement after achievement, his political capital will grow to monumental proportions.

Much of government can be reformed within the Executive Branch, if the Chief Executive wants those reforms to happen. THEN, after a string of amazing accomplishments, he could turn to the Legislative Branch, and say, "You guys want to stand in my way? I know you could. But maybe your re-election will be a lot harder than you think. Why don't we sit down and negotiate?"

I wonder how many White House computer keyboards will need repair because of a missing "T" key.

Trump is a businessman and very cost conscious. While he smells victory, I bet he watches the cash very very closely.

To make an outlay as you suggest would be tens of millions.

It may be a little premature to do as you suggest; however, I am willing to bet hands down that he is making overtures to the kind of people you mention so that when he is ready they will all fall in place.

What people do not really understand is that Trump is the decision maker and the leader here. How things roll out,and when they do Trump calls the shots. It is all him.

The genius of this campaign is all Trump. He is like a military commander moving the chess pieces across the board. The other candidates are trying to mimic what he does but they are not Trump and will not be able to compete because Trump is real, unscripted and a genius.
