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.
The Daily Beast, Conway dishes about how the “Access Hollywood” tape of Trump and Billy Bush boasting about being famous enough to get away with sexually assaulting women put the campaign in jeopardy.
She describes meeting with him on the 24th floor of Trump Tower on Oct. 8, 2016, the night after the video was published by The Washington Post.According to Conway, Trump had seen reports that the GOP “could force him off the ticket or hold a vote to expel him” over his “disgusting” comments.“Should I get out [of the race]?” Trump asked his campaign advisor, according to the excerpt in Daily Beast.“You actually can’t,” she recalls saying to him, “unless you want to forfeit and throw the whole damn thing to Hillary.”When he asked “What do you mean, I can’t quit?” she explained that it was too late to pull out of the race because early voting was already underway.“I know you don’t like to lose,” she told him at the time, “but I also know you don’t like to quit.”According to Daily Beast, Conway writes that she soothed his worries about whether or not he could still win the election, while simultaneously scolding him for the “reprehensible” remarks he’d made in the video.Both Trump and Conway’s public comments about the incident differ from her account in the book.
On Oct. 8, the then-candidate told The Wall Street Journal that there was “zero chance” he’d quit. For her part, Conway requested that people “stop using” the phrase “sexual assault” to describe what Trump dismissed as “locker room talk.” On Thursday, People Magazine released another preview of “Here’s the Deal” that discusses the strain her husband George Conway’s feud with Trump placed on her marriage.
