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.

deadline.comNikki Haley told the Republican National Convention that “Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period,” mending fences with the former president after a bitter primary race in which she had called him “not qualified” for office. “We have a country to save, and a unified Republican Party is essential for saving her,” Haley said, with Trump sitting in the VIP area of the Fiserv Forum and clapping as she spoke.

During the campaign, she blasted Trump for not stopping the siege of the Capitol on January 6th, mocked his cognitive abilities for mistaking her for Nancy Pelosi in a speech and declared that he couldn’t “win a general election.” Trump and his team, meanwhile, referred to her as “bird brain,” and the former president mocked the absence of her husband, Michael, from the campaign trail.
