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.

Biden’s age and infirmity that they see with their own eyes,” the Editorial Board piece noted bluntly. Earlier Friday, NYT columnists Thomas L.
Friedman and Paul Krugman both pleaded with Biden to drop out. Still, amidst simultaneous “don’t panic” and “panic” missives from Democratic operatives and suggestions of how Biden could release his delegates at August’s convention to put a successor in place, the urgings of the NYT met with a pretty quick dismissal by the Biden team. “The last time Joe Biden lost the New York Times editorial board’s endorsement it turned out pretty well for him,” a Biden/Harris campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond told Deadline.
