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.
Nevada grandmother faces up to $30K in fines for offering rides to Burning Man revelers
nypost.comBurning Man festival in the Nevada desert.Susie Holland, 61, thought that she would offer a helping hand and make a little extra cash on the side by offering car rides to the festival-goers, also known as “Burners,” this year, according to a report.But when she arrived to pick up the Burners at a location they’d agreed upon while speaking online, she was immediately surrounded by the Nevada Transportation Authority.“When I pulled in … they just swooped up on me in three undercover Ford Explorers,” Holland told the Reno Gazette Journal. “They were coming at me so fast, so hard and so intensely, I was like, what is happening right now?”Holland posted a Craigslist ad three weeks ago offering rides to the event, which draws up to 80,000 people annually.
She was contacted for a ride and — unaware of the going rate — she said she would take them to the festival for just $65. The supposed Burner, in turn, offered $500 if she offered to come back and pick them up.
But then the “Burner” went radio silent for weeks before responding with a meeting time and date, leading Holland to suspect “something seemed a little off,” according to the Gazette Journal.
She agreed to pick up her party at the parking lot of the Grand Sierra Resort at 6:30 a.m. on Monday — however, when she arrived, she was met by NTA agents who boxed her car in and told her she had broken the law.“I’m 61 years old, you know,” she joked. “I’ve never been in a situation like that.”Police told her she was facing up to $10,000 per violation for the three laws she apparently violated for driving without proper certification — totaling a whopping $30,000.
