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.

Trump, though, claimed that if he is elected president, the state’s problems would be solved — everything from migration to taxes to wildfires to water. “You’re going to have water like you never thought,” Trump said, before turning to the mayor of RPV and noting, “Now, in your case, maybe you don’t want too much.” The city is struggling with massive landslide issues that now threaten hundreds of homes.
The purpose of the press conference seemed to be for Trump to reclaim attention, after a debate on Tuesday that most pundits say he lost, something that initial polls also suggest.
Among some Republicans, there has been consternation over Trump’s association with Laura Loomer, the right-wing conspiracy theorist who has been traveling with him, and the notion that she has been a poor influence on him.
