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.
Four years ago this week, the New York Times published its momentous series The 1619 Project, a groundbreaking endeavor that sought to reframe our understanding of the foundational role Black people have played to build this country and perfect its democratic ideals.
To say it touched a nerve doesn’t begin to describe the project’s profound impact on our culture and politics. Created by journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, The 1619 Project triggered a furious debate over critical race theory.
In 2020, then-President Trump excoriated the series as “toxic propaganda” and signed an executive order to create a 1776 Commission that would promote “patriotic education.” The State of Florida banned teaching of The 1619 Project in classrooms.
But for all the conservative voices raised in chorus against The 1619 Project, a legion of admirers has sung its praises. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize, and earlier this year a six-part documentary adaptation of The 1619 Project premiered to acclaim on Hulu.
