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.

Harris chuckled when asked for a rebuttal. “Talk about extreme…” she said. The Trump campaign quickly circulated a Federalist article about a police report of Haitians goose-hunting.
Moments earlier, Harris warned that Trump would likely make wild claims, inviting viewers to take a look at his rallies where he talks about Hannibal Lecter, a fictional character. “People start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom,” she said. “You will not hear him talk about your needs, your dreams and your needs and your desires.” The first 30 minutes offered a relatively cogent argument on issues including abortion, trade and immigration.
Harris took aim at Trump on abortion, saying he was responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade and for abortion bans in 20 states. “The government, and Donald Trump, certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” she said.
