After reading his book, I think Thiel did what everyone else did not. He supported the underdog, thus he could pay almost nothing for a ticket that had %40 odds of winning. His win is a x1000 return. He now gets to rub elbows with more clients: nsa,fbi,cia,epa,etc and force feed palantir more contracts. I don't think Thiel loves Trump, he is just a psychopath that can play chess at a higher level.
