Donald Trump

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.

In the same year, the far right Jair Bolsonaro was voted in as president of Brazil. Following the path of Donald Trump, whom he publically acclaimed, Bolsonaro waged a war against “leftist” filmmakers and artists in general.

He first threatened to shut down Ancine, then he delayed nominations for key positions in the agency and on FSA boards and committees, which maintained the fund’s paralysis.Then came the pandemic, which closed theaters and sets, creating a perfect storm for the sector.
