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.

But the gem of the night came when Stewart unpacked Trump’s presentation as a free speech advocate alongside his various statements that would curtail such demonstrations, including his aim to deport pro-Palestinian student protesters and jail those who burn the flag, a Supreme Court-affirmed protection established in 1989 via Texas vs.
Johnson. He then zeroed in on an excerpt from a Rolling Stone article, detailing Trump’s ire with late-night comedians, which read that the candidate was “venting about the need to punish
