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.

Jack Black presented Gass with a birthday cake onstage during a gig in Sydney and asked his friend to “make a wish.” Cute. What could possibly be scandalous about Dewey from “School of Rock” delivering a baked dessert during what was dubbed “The Spicy Meatball Tour”?
Well, one day after a shooter’s bullet nearly hit the ex-president in the head, Gass responded, in a moment that was recorded on video, “Don’t miss Trump next time.” Beyond disgusting.
There was no coming back from such a putrid comment. And therefore the band’s frontman, comedian and movie star Black, nixed the remainder of their dates three days later.
