IF, a few market makers are short in anticipation of his sales, it wouldn't hurt the stock.

Again, it's not the short sales that would hurt the stock price. It's that if Trump sold 10% of his stake in the company, it would hurt the stock price. Regardless of whether he sell them on the open market or privately to a "few market makers," he still needs to disclose the sales. It's typically not great for the stock price when insiders start unloading generally; for a stock like DJT, where the entire value of the company derives from Trump's ownership and involvement in it, it would be far more significant. How he structures the sales (open market vs. market makers) doesn't affect that.
