There's already a movie about the Trump Organization. It's a 3 parter called "The Godfather". It's not the first time a political office was modeled on organized crime:
“During Mr. Rubino's tenure, party candidates were selected by a show of hands, and Mr. Rubino sat at the podium overlooking his flock, noting who did not vote his way. If someone bucked the system, it was widely understood that a relative or in-law holding a county patronage job might find himself suddenly unemployed…
Then, in 1977, Mr. Rubino pleaded guilty to having extorted $6,400 from architects who were awarded a $130,000 contract to convert a former West Chester hospital into a county government annex…He ultimately served 4 1/2 months of a six- month sentence in a federal penitentiary, and he was ordered to do community-service work at the Coatesville Veterans Administration Hospital upon his release. As part of Mr. Rubino's plea agreement, prosecutors read into the record statements that the FBI had taken from businessmen and politicians who had dealt with Mr. Rubino. They indicated that he had established set prices for those doing business with the county, ranging from milk supplies to the leases on court offices. Some of the money went to the county GOP.”

It was not possible to remove Theodore Rubino from office from within Chester County government.
Rubino was brought down by the federal government on one of thousands of extortion charges, $6,400 from architects who were awarded a $130,000 contract.
It appears that President Trump's business will be inextricably connected to his presidency. He will take office while in violation of the Constitution:
"No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state." - From Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't believe anyone inside the federal system will risk trying to remove Trump from office.
President Trump, will have at his disposal the most intrusive surveillance state ever conceived with more complete and detailed surveillance of all people in the works.
I believe that Trump should be removed from office soon. There could come a time when attempting to remove him from office is a very dangerous task.
He can be removed from office from outside of the federal system. Not every state has a Republican Attorney General.
