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.
Meta Removes “Heightened Suspension Penalties” From Donald Trump’s Facebook And Instagram Accounts

In reaching this conclusion, we also considered that these penalties were a response to extreme and extraordinary circumstances, and have not had to be deployed.” Trump’s accounts had been suspended from Facebook and Instagram following his praise for those involved in the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
The Facebook Oversight Board upheld the decision, but was critical of the open-ended nature of the suspension. Meta then put a two-year timeline on the restrictions.
The accounts were reinstated early last year, but Trump still was subjected to heightened penalties. For example, if he posted content that violated community standards, he could have faced suspensions “between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation.” That did not happen.
