This book expertly delves into the life of Donald John Trump! Businessman, TV personality, and the 45th President of the United States, known for shaking up the political establishment and making headlines across the globe. Raised in a working-class neighborhood but born into a family of real estate developers, Trump learned early how to navigate the cutthroat world of business. After attending the New York Military Academy, he went on to earn a degree in economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
Trump made his mark in Manhattan, turning the Trump name into a symbol of luxury and success. Projects like the glittering Trump Tower and the transformation of the Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt made him a household name. From skyscrapers to casinos and golf courses, his real estate empire grew, along with his reputation as a bold and brash dealmaker who thrived in the spotlight.
His rise to pop culture fame was supercharged by *The Apprentice*, the reality TV show where millions watched Trump deliver his iconic catchphrase: "You're fired!" The show cemented his image as a no-nonsense leader who knows how to get things done, and it set the stage for what came next-something no one saw coming.
In 2015, Trump took the ultimate leap and announced his run for president. Running as a Republican outsider, he spoke directly to Americans who felt left behind by political elites and promised to drain the swamp in Washington. His bold, unapologetic style, and message of putting "America First" struck a chord with millions. Trump won the Republican nomination and stunned the world by defeating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
During his presidency from 2017 to 2021, Trump delivered on many of his promises. He slashed taxes, cut through red tape to boost business, renegotiated trade deals like NAFTA (now USMCA), and appointed three conservative Supreme Court justices. He pulled America out of the Paris Climate Accord, called out NATO allies to pay their fair share, and wasn't afraid to stand up to China. Trump also made history by meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in a bid to ease tensions.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing. His presidency was surrounded by controversy, from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump faced two impeachments, both of which he survived, but remained fiercely loyal to his supporters throughout. His unrelenting fight to put America first made him a hero to many but a villain to others.
After losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Trump refused to accept the results, which led to the infamous events of January 6, 2021, when protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Despite leaving office under a cloud of controversy, Trump continues to be a dominant force in American politics, with millions of loyal supporters.
Whether loved or hated, Trump's impact on the political landscape is undeniable, and his movement is far from over.
