Trump's presidency won't simply be about the direct benefit to Thiel's existing investments and bets on the table like Palantir. I believe that the greatest opportunity that Trump's presidency will create is through disruption to a whole host of industries. If you're a VC, you are probably already looking at areas that there will be massive privatization like education, health care, etc. These create new business opportunities for an entrepreneur like Thiel to make plays in.
