Personal life

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City. He is the son of Fred Trump, a successful real estate developer, and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump. Donald was also the fourth of five children in the family.

Education and Early Career:

Trump attended Fordham University for two years before transferring to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in economics. After college, he joined his father’s real estate business, Elizabeth Trump & Son. In 1971, Trump took control of the company, renaming it The Trump Organization. He also expanded the business beyond residential properties in Brooklyn and Queens to commercial and residential projects in Manhattan. Some of his notable early projects also included the renovation of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in 1978 and the construction of Trump Tower in 1983.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Trump expanded his business empire to include casinos, golf courses, and other properties. He also ventured into other industries, launching Trump Shuttle airline and purchasing the New Jersey Generals football team. However, his businesses faced financial difficulties in the 1990s, resulting in several high-profile bankruptcies.

Media Career:

Trump became a prominent figure in popular culture, appearing in movies and television shows. His most notable media role was as the host of the reality TV show “The Apprentice” from 2004 to 2015, which significantly boosted his public profile.

Political Career:

Trump’s political involvement began in the 1980s when he first floated the idea of running for president. He briefly sought the Reform Party’s presidential nomination in 2000 but withdrew. In 2011, he became a leading proponent of the “birther” movement, also questioning President Obama’s birthplace.

In June 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. His campaign, marked by controversial statements and unconventional tactics, ultimately led to his victory in the Republican primaries and then in the general election against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Presidency (2017-2021):

As president, Trump implemented significant policy changes, including tax cuts, immigration restrictions, and the appointment of three Supreme Court justices. His presidency was marked by numerous controversies, including two impeachments (though he was acquitted by the Senate both times), disputes over Russian interference in the 2016 election, and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Post-Presidency:

After losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Trump disputed the results, also leading to the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack by his supporters. Since leaving office, he has remained a prominent and polarizing figure in American politics, facing multiple legal challenges and investigations while maintaining a strong base of support within the Republican Party.
