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.

Trump supposedly tried to attack Engel, the head of his Secret Service detail.Of particular importance, Engel was in the room in the White House room where Ornato told Hutchinson this story on January 6. “Mr.
Engel did not correct or disagree with any part of the story,” Hutchinson told the committee today under questioning.A bombshell close to Richard Nixon aide Alexander Butterfield admitting under oath on July 13, 1973 the existence of a White House taping system to the Senate committee probing the Watergate scandal, today’s suddenly announced hearing cuts very close to the inner circle of the inner circle of
