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.
‘SNL’s “Weekend Update” Takes Jabs At Republican Debate, Joe Biden, Donald Trump & Jared Leto
deadline.comMichael Che and Colin Jost were back on the “Weekend Update” desk on Saturday Night Live cracking jokes on the political world and pop culture.
The segment started with the duo poking fun at the Republican debate this weekend that aired on NBC. Jost reminded the audience that presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy that the “GOP had become a party of losers.” “Weirdly, a party of losers was also how NBC advertised the debate,” Jost quipped.
Jost followed up by mentioning the moment Ramaswamy mentioned Nikki Haley’s daughter to which she said, “Leave my daughter out of your voice.” The comedian then joked saying that Haley quoted “directly from the Japanese subtitles of the Will Smith slap.” Taking a jab at Joe Biden was next after polls showed Donald Trump leading and pundits calling Biden’s presidential campaign a “five-alarm fire.” Jost then joked, “Which is scary for Biden because in a fire you have to use the stars,” reminding everyone when Biden tripped walking up the stairs.
