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.

Whip Fundraising, the org behind the “Tulips and Topiaries” event, apparently failed to receive non-profit status from the state of Florida prior to announcing their intention to raise funds for foster children.
And you can’t just hold a charity event without that — the state has to keep people from running scams where they claim the money is going to needy children but then just pocketing it.
Sadly, there are such people in the world… Related: NY Attorney General Claims ‘Significant’ Amount Of Fraud Found In Trump Family Biz! So, when the org started selling off $50,000 VIP tickets (!!!) to an April “flowers, tea, and bubbles” charity event in Naples — but without a confirmed real charity organization — it’s understandable why the NYT launched an investigation into the situation!
