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 has slammed the UK's initial approach to tackling the coronavirus outbreak. He said the results would have been "very catastrophic" if Boris Johnson had not decided to change tack.
The US president suggested Boris Johnson had looked to "ride out" the virus in an approach that would have caused "a lot of death".
It comes as Mr Trump faces his own barrage of criticism over his handling of the pandemic. The G7 ally's comments come after the UK saw its biggest day-on-day rise on Wednesday in the number of deaths since the outbreak began - up 563 on the 24 hours previously to a total of 2,352.
Mr Trump's press conference criticism appeared to be a reference to the UK Government following a plan for so-called "herd immunity".
