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.

And at the end of the day, if you’re arguing about the refs — if you’re arguing about the DOJ and the FBI — you’re losing. As with anything in life, if you’re arguing over the referees, you’re losing.”Meanwhile, host Willie Geist lamented that Romney is often one of the only members of Trump’s party that actually speaks out against his actions, though Geist, Brzezinski and Scarborough all noted that there seems to be an uptick of Republicans willing to do so.“Why does it always fall to Mitt Romney to be the Republican in the Senate to criticize Donald Trump?” he said.
