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.
New York Mayor Eric Adams Visits Scene Outside Donald Trump’s Trial, Says “Our City Is A Fair City”
deadline.comNew York Mayor Eric Adams visited the scene outside the Manhattan criminal courthouse, where media outlets and reporters have stationed themselves as Donald Trump‘s hush money trial takes place inside. “Our city is a fair city,” Adams said, in response to a question from CBS News’ Robert Costa on whether he was confident that Manhattan jurors would be fair to Trump.
Earlier, a reporter asked Adams about criticism that Trump would not be able to get a fair trial, given the ideological bent of the city’s residents. “That is beyond my pay grade,” Adams said. “I am just here to make sure that if the trial is taking place, that it is done in a very orderly fashion.
As you can see, that is what is happening right now. And hats off to the court officers. As you see, this is a very orderly environment, and people should be allowed to participate in the criminal justice system with the level of order that is here right now.” Jury selection continued today, the trial’s second day, as Trump’s attorneys attempted to ferret out signs of bias among the pool.
Trump is facing felony charges of falsifying business records, in connection with hush money payments made in advance of the 2016 presidential election.
