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.
Joe Scarborough ‘Surprised, Very Disappointed’ by MSNBC Pre-Emption
variety.comBrian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Joe Scarborough took to his regular A’M. spot on MSNBC Tuesday to rail against something irregular that happened the day before: a decision by network bosses to take his show, “Morning Joe,” off the schedule one day prior in the aftermath of an attack on former President Donald Trump. “We were told in no uncertain terms on Sunday night that there was going to be one news feed against all channels,” Scarborough said on air Tuesday. “I guess after there was such strong blowback about what happened yesterday morning that they changed their plans.” He added that he and his team “were very surprised, very disappointed.” MSNBC raised eyebrows Monday with a decision to pre-empt “Morning Joe” and other programming with a single “special report” feed that contained reporting on the Saturday attenot on Trump’s life at a rally in western Pennsylvania.
The feed played out across NBC, MSNBC and the live-streaming service NBC News Now. By Monday afternoon, however, MSNBC had opinion hosts like Nicolle Wallace on air, from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and their team had been scheduled to kick off RNC reportage Monday morning. Scarborough’s outburst is not the first from MSNBC talent in recent weeks.
Several hosts, including Wallace, Scarborough, Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid, went on air in March to excoriate a decision to make former Republican National Committee chief Ronna McDaniel a contributor to NBC News.
