Donald Trump

Donald John Trump (June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, media personality, and politician serving as the 47th president of the United States since 2025. Before, he was the 45th president from 2017 to 2021. Trump was also the chairman of The Trump Organization from 1971 to 2017.

Much of his money was made in real estate in New York City, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City. He used to own the Miss Universe pageant. He was the star in his own reality show The Apprentice.

Trump became the Republican Party nominee for president in 2016. Trump then was in the general election against Democrat Hillary Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of State. Each of them needed 270 electoral votes to win. Trump had 304 while Clinton had 227. He was inaugurated as the 45th president on January 20, 2017, at 70 years old.

In 2019 the House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump in December 2019 with a charge of abuse of power. He was the third president in American history to be impeached. He was acquitted by the Senate in February 2020.

In November 2020, Trump lost his re-election to Joe Biden after the 2020 election. He became the first president since George H. W. Bush in 1992 to lose his re-election. However, he did not agree with the result and said he won the election by a "big amount". He also sued states where Biden won. In January 2021, Trump controversially made a telephone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. In the call, he was reported to have tried to change the election results. A few days later, his supporters rioted at the United States Capitol, which killed five people. This caused the United States House of Representatives to impeach Trump again. This made Trump the only president to be impeached twice. The United States Senate voted to acquit him of all charges.

In November 2022, Trump announced another presidential campaign for the 2024 presidential election. In July 2024, he survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania during a campaign rally. In November 2024, he would defeat Vice President Kamala Harris and be elected as the 47th president. After being reelected, he became the second president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland in 1893.

In March 2023, a Manhattan grand jury indicted Trump, making him the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges. In August 2023, Trump was indicted a second time for his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In 2024, he was found liable of sexual assault in a court of law and is a convicted felon. He is the first former U.S. president convicted of a felony and the first felon to serve as president.
