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.
The five men wrongfully convicted of the assault and rape of a woman in Central Park in 1989 have filed a defamation lawsuit over comments that Donald Trump made about them at September’s presidential debate.
Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown and Korey Wise claim in their lawsuit that during the debate, Trump falsely stated that they “killed an individual and pled guilty to the crime.
These statements are demonstrably false. Plaintiffs never pled guilty to any crime and were subsequently cleared of all wrongdoing.
Further, the victims of the Central Park assaults were not killed.” Their lawsuit, filed in federal court in Pennsylvania, also cited other statements that Trump has made about their case.
