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.

Honestly, I did think I might puke. Trump looked better, even if the stage was buried in his bullshit. All I could see was the MAGA campaign turning every exposed Biden frailty and lost train of thought into election ads.Would our little respite of national normalcy turn out to be not a step back to better times, but merely a sad little last hurrah before it all goes back to MAGAt-infested rot?The optimist in me has navigated the ongoing chaos by hunting for opportunity.
