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.

Abbasi’s reasonably entertaining movie is a mostly sympathetic portrayal of a young man trying to make his way in the tough New York business world.He’s unfairly mocked — including by Mayor Ed Koch (Ian D.
Clark) — when he takes a risk on the opulent Trump Tower at a time when no one was betting on messy Midtown or, for that matter, the crime-infested city.
