Donald Trump is an American businessman, television personality, and politician who served as the 45th President of the United States from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021. Born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City, Trump built a successful career in real estate before entering politics. Trump is best known for his role as a real estate developer and entrepreneur, building iconic properties such as Trump Tower in New York City and numerous luxury resorts and golf courses around the world. He also gained fame as the host of the reality television show "The Apprentice," where he became known for his catchphrase "You're fired!" In 2016, Trump launched a successful campaign for the presidency as a Republican candidate, defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the general election. As president, Trump pursued a populist and nationalist agenda, focusing on issues such as immigration, trade, and deregulation. During his presidency, Trump implemented significant policy changes, including tax cuts, the renegotiation of trade deals, and the appointment of conservative judges to the federal judiciary. He also faced criticism and controversy over his handling of various issues, including his response to the COVID-19 pandemic, his immigration policies, and his interactions with foreign leaders. In 2020, Trump sought reelection but was defeated by Democratic nominee Joe Biden in a closely contested election. Despite contesting the results and making baseless claims of voter fraud, Trump ultimately left office on January 20, 2021, when Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States. Since leaving office, Trump has remained active in politics, continuing to influence the Republican Party and expressing interest in running for president again in the future. He remains a polarizing figure in American politics, with a devoted base of supporters and vocal critics alike.
