Donald Trump and United States Of America History.

Donald John Trump, born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, is the 45th and 47th President of the United States, making him the only individual besides Grover Cleveland to serve two nonconsecutive terms. He first held office from 2017 to 2021 and was re-elected in 2024, returning to the presidency in January 2025. Notably, Trump is the first U.S. president to be elected after a felony conviction, having been found guilty in 2024 of falsifying business records.

Early Life and Business Career

Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 with a degree in economics. He took over his family's real estate business in 1971, renaming it the Trump Organization. Over the years, he expanded the business into a global brand, developing and managing numerous properties, including skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He also gained fame as the host of the reality TV show "The Apprentice" from 2004 to 2015.

Political Career

Trump entered politics as a Republican and won the presidency in 2016, defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. His first term was marked by significant policy changes, including tax reforms, deregulation efforts, and a focus on immigration control. He was impeached twice by the House of Representatives—first in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and again in 2021 for incitement of insurrection—but was acquitted both times by the Senate.

Second-Term and Recent Developments

After losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Trump remained a dominant figure in the Republican Party and secured re-election in 2024. His second term has been characterized by aggressive policy moves, including mass layoffs of federal workers and the imposition of extensive tariffs on countries like China, Canada, and Mexico. These actions have led to over 220 lawsuits challenging their legality.

In recent news, a federal judge permanently blocked one of Trump's executive orders targeting the law firm Perkins Coie, deeming it unconstitutional. Additionally, Trump has faced criticism for sharing an AI-generated image of himself dressed as the pope, following the death of Pope Francis.
