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.
Elon Musk Speaks At Donald Trump Rally, Calls Himself “Dark MAGA” And Says Election Is A “Must-Win Situation”
deadline.comElon Musk spoke for the first time at a Donald Trump rally, telling a massive crowd in Butler, PA that the election was a “must-win situation.” “As you can see, I am not just MAGA, I’m dark MAGA,” Musk, wearing a black Make America Great Again hat, told the crowd.
The rally was Trump’s first in Butler since he survived an assassination attempt there in July. Shortly after the shooting, Musk endorsed Trump, citing his response to the attack.
In his remarks, he referred to that moment. Musk said, “The true test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire. And we had one president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs, and another who was fist bumping after getting shot. ‘Fight, fight, fight.’ Blood coming down the face.” He added, “America is the home of the brave, and there’s no truer test than courage under fire.” Musk has been using his social media platform, X, to promote Trump and to warn of electing Kamala Harris, often in dire terms.
Musk also has trafficked in conspiracy theories and falsehoods. In the aftermath of the assassination attempt, he accused mainstream media outlets of “propaganda” by downplaying the shooting, reposting a roundup of initial headlines that reported on an incident at the rally but did not immediately identify the shootings as an assassination attempt.
