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.
Ronna McDaniel To Resign As Chair Of The RNC
deadline.comRonna McDaniel announced her resignation as the chair of the Republican National Committee, as President Donald Trump looks to place a team of loyalists as the leaders of the party. “The RNC has historically undergone change once we have a nominee and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition,” McDaniel said in a statement this morning.
She said that she will leave her post at the March 8 meeting of the RNC. Her exit is not a surprise. Trump has backed Michael Whatley, the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, for the post, with his daughter in law Lara Trump as co-chair.
Trump also wants his senior adviser, Chris LaCivita, to serve as the RNC’s COO. McDaniel has been chair since 2017. She noted, among other things, that the party retook control of the House during her tenure, in the 2022 cycle.
But the party also underperformed expectations, and has lost a series of special elections in the past year. The party also has lagged in fundraising, while one member has proposed a resolution that would bar the RNC from paying Trump’s legal bills.
