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.
Donald Trump is in the high risk group for people to fall badly ill with Covid-19. It was announced in the early hours of this morning that the President of the US and his wife Melania had contracted the disease.
It is possible Trump caught the disease from Hope Hicks, who tested positive after travelling with him on Air Force One to a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday.
At 74-years-old Trump is firmly in the high risk category for being hospitalised and suffering bad effects having caught the coronavirus.
According to one Centre for Disease Control study (CDC), patients between the ages of 65-74 are five times more likely to be hospitalised with Covid-19 than someone aged 18 to 29.
