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.
House Minority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) won the Republican nomination to be the next speaker of the House, but he now faces the uphill challenge of garnering the 217 votes needed to be elected in a floor vote.
Emmer is the third GOP nominee in as many weeks, as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) each were tapped by the Republican majority yet failed to be elected speaker.
The protracted battle has exposed bitter rifts and bad blood within the Republican conference, and has left the House at a standstill at a moment of international crises and the prospect of government funding running out next month.
Emmer drew 117 votes on the fifth secret ballot of the House Republican conference, which met behind closed doors today at the Capitol, according to CNN.
