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.
Vice President Kamala Harris said that she spoke to her political rival Donald Trump to check to “see if he was okay” following an apparent assassination attempt on his life on Sunday.
Speaking at a National Association of Black Journalists event this afternoon, Harris said that she told Trump “what I have said publicly, that there is no place for political violence in our country.” “I am in this election, in this race, for many reasons, including to fight for our democracy.
And in a democracy there is no place for political violence. We can and should have healthy debates and discussion and disagreements, but not resort to violence to resolve those issues.” In a Fox Digital interview, TrumpblamedtheassassinationattemptonHarris and President Joe Biden’s “rhetoric,” including their warnings that Trump would be a “threat to democracy.” But Trump has consistently used extreme rhetoric when talking about Biden and Harris, including that the vice president was a “Marxist” and that her policies were “fascist.” In the same Fox interview, Trump said that Biden and Harris “are people that want to destroy our country” and that they were “the enemy from within.” Biden also called Trump, and the former president said that he “couldn’t have been nicer,” per CNN.
Harris’ NABJ appearance was scheduled after she did not make their convention in July. Trump did appear at that event, where he questioned whether Harris “happened to turn Black,” suggesting that she was changing her political identity because it was more advantageous politically.
