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 Town Hall sees him dance for 30 minutes to Sinead O’Connor, Rufus Wainwright, Guns N’ Roses and more
nme.comDonald Trump’s Town Hall took a turn for the unexpected earlier this week, as he was seen dancing along to music for 30 minutes.Held in Oaks, Pennsylvania on Monday night (October 14), the town hall was reportedly interrupted by medical emergencies multiple times – something outlets such as Consequence have reported as being due to the warm temperatures inside the venue.As it progressed, the former POTUS and current Republican party leader eventually stopped answering political questions, and instead hosted a 30-minute listening party using songs from his personal playlist.According to various outlets, the tracks played at the event included songs by artists who have already threatened Trump with legal action.
This included Sinead O’Connor’s version of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ – which was reportedly played despite the singer’s estate issuing a cease and desist order to the politician for using the song at his rallies.Also played was Guns N’ Roses classic ‘November Rain’, which was broadcast at the town hall despite the band’s frontman Axl Rose repeatedly criticising Trump on social media.James Brown’s ‘It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World’, Rufus Wainwright’s version of ‘Hallelujah’, Oliver Anthony’s ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’, and Elvis Presley’s ‘An American Trilogy’, were also played, as were Andrea Bocelli’s ‘Time to Say Goodbye’, ‘Ave Maria’, ‘Memory’ from Cats, and ‘YMCA’.Wow — this was weird.
Trump wrapped up his "town hall" in Oaks, Pennsylvania, after just a few questions, and right after he said he would take a few more questions.
