Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.

Expressing hope that Kamala Harris wins by “five to seven” percentage points, he added, “My hope is it will be a repudiation of him.
I think that would be extraordinarily healthy. I think that’s the only healthy outcome.” Almost worse than Trump himself, Diller added, are the “plutocrats” who back him even as they “refuse to talk about the character of the person.” (Diller did concede that he himself may fit the definition of a plutocrat.) “A good many of them are saying they will vote for Trump because his positions on taxes and other things that will keep their dollars or earn them extra dollars, when they have more dollars than they ever conceivably could need for any purpose,” Diller said.
