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.
Kanye West has confirmed he intends to vote in the upcoming US presidential election – and indicated he will be supporting Donald Trump.
The musician and fashion designer is one of the few high-profile celebrities to publicly back Mr Trump and has been criticised for wearing a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat.
In a wide-ranging interview with GQ magazine, West said the influence of his parents – who were both involved in the civil rights movement – means his race will not influence which box he will tick on the ballot paper. “They didn’t fight for me to be told by white people which white person I can vote on,” he said, a reference to Mr Trump and Joe Biden, who has all but secured the Democratic Party nomination.
