Donald Trump
Early Life and Business Career
Born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City, Donald Trump took the reins of his family's real estate business in the 1970s, expanding it from residential to lucrative commercial properties. His developments include the renovation of the Grand Hyatt Hotel and the construction of Trump Tower in New York City. His business ventures have been marked by both success and controversy, including multiple bankruptcies and legal challenges.
Rise to Political Prominence
Despite having no prior political experience, Trump's presidential campaign in 2016 was successful, leading to his election as the 45th President of the United States. His tenure was characterized by significant tax cuts, efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and a hardline immigration policy. Trump's presidency was also marked by his active use of social media, which played a pivotal role in his communication strategy.
Controversies and Impeachments
Trump’s presidency was embroiled in controversies, including investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election and two impeachments. The first impeachment in 2019 was related to allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and the second in 2021 concerned incitement of insurrection following the January 6 Capitol riot. Despite these challenges, Trump remains a significant figure in American politics, hinting at potential future involvement in political affairs.
