Trumpence
The return on investment of a con, bribe, theft or fraud. This could include the direct financial benefit of a scam or plot, but also can be used to represent the emotional boost a narcissist or sociopath gets from feeling superior to those they have manipulated and tricked.
You should always make sure the target of your scam isn't overly intelligent, then you can play on their fears to maximize your potential trumpence.

"The slow feeling of regret after realization that a decision was a huge mistake".
In any event, it sounds as if we have a solid noun.
