President-elect Donald Trump will start his second term with an even larger web of financial entanglements.

Trump promised the Trump Organization's pursuits would be walled off from his duties as president upon first entering office in 2017 .

He now also has a majority stake in publicly traded social media platform Truth Social , while his son Eric announced a new Trump Tower will be built in Saudi Arabia .

Democratic scrutiny will play out next year in the House , with the Oversight Committee being one avenue for the party to register its complaints.

Billionaires' coziness with sitting presidents is not unusual, with business magnates contributing millions to both Trump 's and Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaigns.

Since his election, tech leaders have also been donating to Trump 's inaugural fund.
