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.
Speaking at a rally for Kamala Harris tonight, Cardi B blasted Donald Trump as a “hustler” with a “plan to hustle you,” warning that he doesn’t “believe women deserve rights.” The rapper and songwriter also explained why she endorsed Harris, telling the Milwaukee crowd that she had not planned to even vote this year until the vice president entered the race. “She changed my mind completely,” Cardi B said. “I did not have faith in any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I wanted to see next in this country.” She also related her own story to that of Harris. “Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog.
I’ve been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something. Women have to work 10 times harder, perform 10 times better, and still, people question us, how we got to the top.” She added, “I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one.” She ran through some of Harris’ policy proposals, like her plans to crack down on grocery price gouging, to offer $25,000 in down payment assistance and to expand the child tax credit.
Cardi B spent a portion of her 10-minute speech on one of Trump’s comments from this week, that he would be a protector of women “whether they like it or not.” “People like Donald Trump don’t believe women deserve rights, and when those rights are taken away, they are nowhere to be found,” she said.
