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.

Within minutes, Trump had been carried off-stage by a group of Secret Service agents, but not without pumping his fist in the air, and yelling “fight” repeatedly as blood streamed down his face from where a bullet had grazed his ear.
The now-iconic image taken by New York Times photographer Doug Mills, who also captured a shot of the bullet whizzing toward Trump’s head, was already on T-shirts within 12 hours of the mass shooting.
The shooter was killed by snipers, but not before shooting three other people in addition to Trump. Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, has been determined to be a registered Republican, a loner, bullied in high school and with no known domestic terrorism links.
