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.
Dr. Oz Picks Up Donald Trump Endorsement For Republican Nod In Pennsylvania Senate Race
deadline.comThe power of television has apparently brought together former President Donald Trump and daytime talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is running for the Republican nomination in the Pennsylvania Senate election this November.Trump made an endorsement of Oz in a statement before a rally in Selma, North Carolina on Saturday night.
The endorsement is seen as a test of Trump’s grip on the Republican party, since Oz is not considered to be a conservative by some.“This is all about winning elections in order to stop the radical left maniacs from destroying our country,” Trump said in his statement. “The great commonwealth of Pennsylvania has a tremendous opportunity to Save America by electing the brilliant and well-known Dr Mehmet Oz for the United States Senate.”In his statement, Trump also said Oz was especially popular with women because of his work in daytime TV, and could do well in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Trump also mentioned his own appearance on the Dr. Oz show during the 2016 campaign, when Trump showed partial results of a physical. “He even said that I was in extraordinary health, which made me like him even more (although he also said I should lose a couple of pounds!)”At the Selma rally, Trump followed up his statements with another Oz tout, calling him a “great guy, good man … Harvard-educated, tremendous, tremendous career and they liked him for a long time.
That’s like a poll. You know, when you’re in television for 18 years, that’s like a poll, that means people like you.”The Pennsylvania endorsement is Trump’s second in the race.
