The Business Insider newspaper revealed that US President Donald Trump is studying a number of options to make money and enhance his political reputation upon leaving office, according to sources close to the president.
The newspaper reported that Trump and his top aides and allies discussed ways in which he would benefit financially through the role he plays as a former president after leaving the White House.
Among the ideas Trump is considering are running for the presidency in 2024, and potentially running again for the position with Joe Biden.
But Business Insider, citing the Washington Post, says that making money is the priority in Trump's thinking, which is burdened with debts of nearly $ 400 million, which are due within the next two years, and the possibility of paying expensive legal fees.

According to the Washington Post report, Trump is also looking at ways to make him make money by doing relatively simple work, such as giving paid speeches to groups of companies or selling tickets to those wishing to attend election rallies.
He might also try to write his memoirs of his time as president of the United States, as well as appear on television programs, both paid and unpaid.
Business Insider indicated that Trump is talking about his intention to take revenge on parties, such as the conservative Fox News Channel, whose coverage was characterized by his favoritism, but despite this he believes that it betrayed him.
The newspaper added that the news channel began to distance itself from Trump after it angered him when it announced the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden in Arizona.
However, some sources told the Washington Post that Trump will not likely seek to launch his media empire as suggested by some news reports, and the newspaper attributed this to the lack of a sure chance for the success of such a project.
And Business Insider - a digital newspaper focused on the world of finance and commerce - reported that Trump had continued to publicly claim that the election results were falsified, claiming that he was the winner.
But the Washington Post revealed that Trump had confided to his aides in his talks with them that he would leave office next January, and is now working on planning his next moves.
