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.
Donald Trump arrived at Manhattan Criminal Court for his arrest and arraignment, as he tried to project an image of defiance in the first-ever spectacle of a former president facing an indictment.
Trump waved before he walked into the building, surrounded by his security detail. Just before that, he wrote on Truth Social, “Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse.
Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!” The exact nature of the charges — believed to be related to so-called hush money payments paid to porn star Stormy Daniels — are expected to be publicly disclosed soon before or at the time his hearing starts, scheduled for 2:15 PM ET.
Trump will be processed and fingerprinted beforehand, although there were reports that there would be no mug shot. Broadcast networks broke into regular programming to cover the scene, while cable networks tracked his motorcade and its four-mile trip from Trump Tower to lower Manhattan. “This moment at 1:24 Eastern time, Donald Trump is under arrest,” CNN anchor Anderson Cooper said, as the chyron switched to “Donald Trump under arrest and awaiting arraignment.” On MSNBC, Chris Jansing said that it was worth pausing to consider “the moment that we’ve never been in before, and that is that when he walked into that courthouse, and he was escorted, officially, Donald Trump, former president of the United States, front runner for the Republican nomination for president of the United States, is now under arrest.
