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.
Donald Trump Fined Again For Violating Judge’s Gag Order
deadline.comFormer President Donald Trump was fined again by a New York judge who imposed a gag order that forbid him from attacking members of his staff.
Judge Arthur Engoron imposed a $10,000 fine on Trump, adding to the $5,000 sanction imposed last week, per the AP. Engoron was angered by a remark that Trump made to reporters outside the courtroom, when he said that “this judge is a very partisan judge, with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is.” Summoned to the witness stand, Trump claimed that his attack was a reference to Michael Cohen, his former attorney who has been testifying in the civil bank fraud trial, and not to the judge’s law clerk.
According to the AP, Trump said that even though he had not been referring to the clerk, he still found her “very biased against me.” Engoron, however, said that he found the former president’s claim that he was referring to Cohen as “not credible.” Engoron had imposed the gag order on Trump earlier this month after he posted an attack on his clerk on Truth Social.
