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.

A lengthy lawsuit, in which the Trump presidential campaign alleged Manigault Newman had violated an NDA, was arbitrated in Manigault Newman’s favor in 2022.
Now, speaking to Variety, Manigault Newman — currently a law student at the Southern University Law Center — opens up about her thoughts on the 2024 campaign, on Trump’s treatment of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, and, for the first time, offers her endorsement in this year’s presidential election.
Absolutely. Anyone observing Donald Trump and even taking a moment to compare from 2016 to now — what becomes apparent with what’s happening with Donald is that he has limited vocabulary.
