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.

The two-year-old died in 2020 after being exposed to hazardous mould in his flat. That home was owned and let by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing - who were criticised for their failure to deal with it, and still provide housing for thousands of residents in the region, having taken control of Rochdale council's stock in 2012.
Since Awaab's inquest, despite RBH shelling out millions of pounds on their damp and mould taskforce, there are still cases with a wide range of severity cropping up.
With that in mind, the Manchester Evening News joined one of RBH’s taskforce managers as he conducted callouts, to see if the social housing provider had learned from past mistakes. Try MEN Premium now for FREE...
