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.

Reflecting on his nearly half-century in government service, which included his high-profile role as de facto medical fact-checker to the former President Donald Trump, Fauci said, “What I would like people to remember about what I’ve done is that every day for all of those years I’ve given it everything that I have and I’ve never left anything on the field.” Asked about the “dubious medical advice” coming from the Trump administration during the early crucial months of the Covid pandemic – at one point Trump suggested sunlight and injections of disinfectants should be investigated as treatments – Fauci said, “I contradicted those [statements] which set off a whole series of things in my life.
The people who have correct information, who take science seriously, who don’t have strange way-out theories about things, need to speak up more because the other side that just keeps putting out misinformation and disinformation seems to be tireless in that effort.” Fauci also said that he will “cooperate fully” with any House oversight
