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.
Jeffrey Katzenberg said that the “blockbuster” $72 million raised by Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee in the initial quarter of his re-election campaign defies doubts about enthusiasm heading into the next election cycle.
Biden’s campaign announced the figure on Friday. “There is no one on Planet Earth who would have predicted you would have had that kind of outpouring of support, particularly this early on,” Katzenberg told Deadline, adding that many pundits underestimated the amount. “The doubters and naysayers could not have gotten it more wrong, at least looked at through the lens of both his grassroots support in this cycle and as major donors in this cycle.” Long a key fundraiser and donor in Democratic politics, Katzenberg is serving as a Biden campaign co-chair, the only non-elected official with the title in the list announced when the president revealed his re-election bid in April.
Katzenberg declined to talk about the combined WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, saying he did not want to mix his role in the Biden campaign and the current labor tumult.
The White House has weighed in, releasing a statement on Thursday affirming that the president “believes all workers – including actors – deserve fair pay and benefits.” Biden also has expressed support for the writers in their walkout.
