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.
Joe Biden Invokes D-Day Heroism In Speech Calling For Saving Democracy: “They’re Asking Us To Stay True To What America Stands For”
deadline.comJoe Biden stood on a cliff at Normandy on Friday to deliver a speech that emphasized the need to defend democracy, as he connected the heroism of D-Day 80 years ago to the present day. “As we gather here today, it’s not just to honor those who showed such remarkable bravery that day June 6, 1944,” Biden said. “It’s to listen to the echo of their voices, to hear them, because they are summoning us, and they are summoning us now.
They’re asking us, what will we do? They’re not asking us to scale these cliffs, but they’re asking us to stay true to what America stands for.” The speech at Pointe du Hoc was in the same location where Ronald Reagan delivered a famous address on the 40th anniversary of D-Day, as the threat then was the Soviet Union. “When we talk about democracy, American democracy, we often talk about the ideals of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
What we don’t talk about is how hard it is, how many ways we are asked to walk away… the most natural instinct is to walk away, to be selfish, to force ourselves on others, to seize power, to never give up.
American democracy asks the hardest of things, to believe that we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.” For Biden’s reelection campaign, the speech also is a contrast to his chief rival, Donald Trump, who delivered a fiery address to a campaign rally in Phoenix, where he railed against his conviction in New York last week and focused a great portion of his remarks on immigration.
