• Donald Trump is a prominent American businessman, television personality, and politician who served as the 45th president of the
he United States from
2017 to 2021. Born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City, Trump was raised in a family involved in real estate development. He joined his family’s business, the Trump Organization, and expanded it significantly, focusing on real estate ventures, luxury hotels, casinos, and golf courses. His name became synonymous with wealth, branding, and high-profile real estate projects. • Before entering politics, Trump was a household name due to his role as the host of the reality TV show The Apprentice, which further amplified his public persona. Known for his business acumen and controversial statements, Trump built a strong brand around his name. • In 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency as a Republican, focusing on a campaign centered around issues such as immigration reform, trade protectionism, and "America First" policies. Despite being an outsider in traditional political circles, he won the 2016 election against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, largely by appealing to disaffected working-class voters in key swing states. • As president, Trump pursued several significant policies and initiatives. Domestically, his administration implemented large tax cuts, rolled back regulations on businesses, and appointed three conservative justices to the Supreme Court, reshaping its ideological balance. On the international stage, he adopted an unconventional approach to diplomacy, engaging directly with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and renegotiating trade agreements like the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). He also withdrew the U.S. from international agreements, including the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal. • Trump's presidency was marked by considerable controversy and polarization. His strong rhetoric on immigration, including the construction of a border wall, as well as his handling of racial justice protests, sparked intense debate. Additionally, his response to the COVID-19 pandemic was heavily criticized, with opponents arguing it lacked urgency and consistency. • After losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, Trump and his supporters challenged the election results, leading to widespread legal battles. These efforts culminated in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, where a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Trump was impeached for a second time by the House of Representatives for incitement of insurrection but was later acquitted by the Senate. • Trump remains a highly influential figure in American politics, maintaining a strong base of supporters and continuing to play an active role in the Republican Party. His legacy is deeply divisive, celebrated by his supporters for challenging the status quo and criticized by opponents for undermining democratic norms and institutions.
