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‘s sentencing looks likely to be delayed until after the Republican National Convention, as Manhattan prosecutors indicated that they would not oppose the former president’s legal team’s efforts to push back the date.
Trump is due to be sentenced on July 11. But prosecutors today said that they would not oppose Trump’s effort to delay that date, as his legal team has sought extra time to file a motion to set aside the former president’s conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Their argument will be based on the Supreme Court‘s decision on Monday that presidents enjoy immunity for official acts. The prosecutors wrote in a letter to Judge Juan Merchan that they believe that Trump’s arguments are “without merit,” but they requested a deadline to file a response by July 24.
That is nearly two weeks after the scheduled sentencing date and follows the GOP convention, which is July 15-18 in Milwaukee.
