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.

17 — one week after ABC News had reserved a date between Biden and Trump that Harris seems intent on keeping. “I don’t think it was a horrible thing.” Wallace’s letter, sent last week, told each campaign that “We are open to discussion on the exact date, format and location — with or without an audience.” Presidential debates have long been august, staid affairs, with the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates organizing the affairs in each election cycle.
