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.
Kamala Harris officially joined TikTok today, as her presidential campaign has seen some memes about the vice president take off on social media. “I’ve heard that recently I’ve been on the ‘For You’ page, so I thought I would get on here myself,” Harris said in a video posted to her account this afternoon.
Harris was referring to memes about coconut trees, which comes from an anecdote she once shared about her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan.
Her mother, she said, once told her, “I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” References to the quote have been shared on social media by Harris’ supporters.
The other reference has been to “brat,” which comes from singer Charli xcx. She wrote on X on Sunday, ater Joe Biden exited the race and endorsed Harris, “kamala IS brat.” The singer has defined the term as “honest, blunt and a little bit volatile.” Harris’ tapping into the TikTok audience carries some risks, as the memes seemed to have been organic, and then embraced by the campaign.
