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.

Trump’s attorneys meanwhile issued a vitriolic cease and desist letter and threatened to sue Abassi. So after screening at Cannes, Telluride and TIFF to critical acclaim it remained in limbo until Tom Ortenberg‘s Briarcliff Entertainment, backed by Shani, picked it up for U.S.
distribution. “A shout out to the only distributor and the only person that had the balls to get us here,” Shani said at the event Tuesday night. “It’s really sad to think that in today’s world, with everything going on, that it took a person who had spent, 20 to 30 years building his career to put his neck out and put resources out, and that he was literally the only one.
