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.
The Washington Post will not endorse a candidate in the presidential race this cycle, breaking with a longtime tradition. Publisher Will Lewis, in a memo to staffers, wrote that they “are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.” The Post’s decision follows the revelation that the Los Angeles Times also decided not to endorse this cycle.
That led to a backlash among readers and the resignation of the publication’s editor of editorials. Mariel Garza, along with other staffers. “We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility,” Lewis wrote. “That is inevitable.
We don’t see it that way. We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for and what we hope for in a leader: character and courage in service to the American ethic, veneration for the rule of law, and respect for human freedom in all its aspects.” But the Post’s non-endorsement, like that at the Los Angeles Times, quickly raised suspicion that the billionaire owners of both publications were being careful should Donald Trump be elected and return to the White House.
Trump has vowed retribution on political opponents, and has suggested retaliatory action against media outlets that have published stories he disagrees with.
