Donald Trump attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics. After joining his father's real estate development company, the Trump Organization, in 1968, he expanded its ventures into Manhattan and other locations, becoming a prominent figure in New York City's real estate scene.
Trump's business ventures included luxury hotels, casinos, golf courses, and residential properties. He also hosted the reality television show "The Apprentice" from 2004 to 2015, which further boosted his public image.
Donald Trump's political aspirations were evident long before he ran for president. He briefly explored presidential runs in 1988, 2000, and 2012 but did not officially enter any of those races. In 2015, he announced his candidacy for the Republican Party's nomination for the 2016 presidential election.
Throughout his campaign, Trump's controversial statements and promises, such as building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, renegotiating trade deals, and implementing stricter immigration policies, garnered significant media attention and support from a segment of the American population.
On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump won the presidential election, defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and became the 45th President of the United States. During his presidency, he pursued various policies on immigration, tax reform, foreign relations, and more, which often sparked intense debate and polarized public opinion.
After one term in office, Donald Trump faced a second impeachment by the House of Representatives in January 2021 over charges of incitement of insurrection following the January 6 Capitol riot. He was subsequently acquitted by the Senate.
Since leaving office, Trump has remained active in politics, endorsing candidates and continuing to play a significant role within the Republican Party.
