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.

While the days of 24 million tuning into a Republican contenders debate on Fox in 2015 are likely long gone, Trump’s boast to Carlson of the much-hyped counter programming reflect the former’s obsession with the increasingly outdate metric as a sign of his power and influence.
Long fueled by grievance, both Trump and Tucker clearly wanted to show their old cable news home they didn’t need Fox anymore, and that the center of conservative political power had shifted with their gravitational pull.
