New York, July 14, 2024
Donald J. Trump is an American businessman, media personality, and politician who served as the 45th President of the United States from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021. He was rushed off the stage at a political rally when alleged gun shots were fired at him. More details on the possible assassination attempt as we get updates.
Born June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City, Donald J. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in economics. Before entering politics, Trump was known for his real estate business. He took over his family's real estate company, renamed The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations. His portfolio included hotels, casinos, golf courses, and other properties. Trump gained fame through his involvement in the entertainment industry, most notably as the host of the reality TV show "The Apprentice."
Trump announced his presidential candidacy in June 2015 as a Republican. His campaign focused on nationalism, immigration reform, and economic protectionism. Trump won the 2016 presidential election, defeating Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote. His presidency was marked by significant and often controversial policies, including tax cuts, deregulation, immigration restrictions, and trade renegotiations. He also faced an impeachment trial in 2019 related to allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, but he was acquitted by the Senate.
Trump ran for re-election in 2020 but was defeated by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump and his supporters made numerous unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud, leading to extensive litigation and the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, where his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Trump has faced various legal challenges and investigations, including inquiries into his business practices, financial dealings, and role in the January 6 Capitol riot. Despite his defeat, Trump remains a significant figure in the Republican Party and American politics, with a substantial support base among conservative voters.
Trump's influence on American politics, business, and media continues to be a subject of significant interest and debate.
