Donald Trump
Donald John Trump is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. In June 2015, he launched his campaign for the 2016 presidential election and quickly emerged as the front-runner among seventeen candidates in the Republican primaries. In July he was formally nominated at the Republican National Convention, many of his campaign statements were controversial or false, generating much free media coverage.
Trump won the general election on November 8, 2016, in a surprise victory against Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and commenced his presidency on January 20, 2017. He became the oldest and wealthiest person ever to assume the presidency, the first without prior military or government service, and the fifth to have won the election while losing the popular vote.
His political positions have been described by scholars and commentators as populist, protectionist, and nationalist. Donald Trump has recently pulled out of the Paris Agreement to slow global warming.
Born 14th June 1946 in New York City, United States of America
