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.
Elton John has said he thought Donald Trump referring to Kim Jong Un as “little rocket man” was “brilliant”.The former President used John’s 1972 single ‘Rocket Man’ as the inspiration for his nickname for the North Korean dictator, and in an interview with Variety at the Toronto Film Festival, the singer has given his view on his song being used in the back-and-forth.“I laughed, I thought that was brilliant,” he said. “I just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald.’ Donald’s always been a fan of mine, and he’s been to my concerts many, many times.
So, I mean, I’ve always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious.
It made me laugh.”He went on to explain that he was not surprised that the reference needed to be explained to Kim Jong Un. “I’ve never toured North Korea, and I have no intention of doing so.
But, I thought it was a light moment, and it was fun.”When pressed on his opinions on Trump, John continued: “I don’t go on stage and say to people, ‘You must vote for the Republicans, you must vote for the Democrats.’ It’s none of my business how they vote.”“I just want people to vote for things that are just, things that are important to people: the right to choose, the right to be who you are, and not let anybody else tell you who to be.
