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.
Blondie singer Debbie Harry has said Donald Trump was “not interested” in her at all when they met, and joked that the US president prefers “big women”.
The 75-year-old musician, model and actress said they had briefly spoken during a promotional event linked to the US version of The Celebrity Apprentice, which was hosted by Mr Trump.
She was asked to help promote a new flavour of ice cream created by her friend Penn Jillette, one half of acclaimed magic duo Penn and Teller, who was competing on the show in 2012 and 2013.
Harry – who is due to embark on a UK tour with Blondie in November 2021 – said she was introduced to Mr Trump but quipped that he had been unimpressed by her.
