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.
Sacha Baron Cohen revealed that he feared for his life and took major safety precautions while crashing a far-right rally in Washington state this past summer for his filmed-in-secret Borat sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.
In an op-ed for Time, the comedian and actor got serious about Donald Trump's presidency and his feelings about the rise of antisemitism, white supremacy, conspiracy theories and more from America's conservative right, calling today "a uniquely dangerous moment." Cohen used several examples from across his career to explain why he decided to come forward and, using his own voice instead of a character's, is taking a public stance on today's issues.
