Newly elected President of the United States, Republican Donald Trump will return to the White House with an increased business empire. This was reported by NBC News on December 9.

It is noted that after the first presidential term, Trump has greatly expanded his business, taking up cryptocurrency, social networks, new golf clubs and even perfume and guitars, supplemented "Gazeta.Ru".
