Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and 47th president of the United States, the only president since Grover Cleveland to serve two non-consecutive terms. A businessman and television personality before entering politics, Trump has been one of the most polarizing and influential figures in modern American history.
Early Life and Career
Trump was born and raised in Queens, New York City. He earned a degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and joined his father's real estate business, eventually rebranding it as The Trump Organization. He became a high-profile real estate developer, casino owner, and host of the reality TV show The Apprentice.
First Presidency (2017–2021)
Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. His administration was marked by:
- Tax cuts and deregulation
- The appointment of three Supreme Court justices
- A hardline stance on immigration
- A focus on “America First” foreign policy
- Two impeachments — both resulting in acquittal
He lost re-election in 2020 to Joe Biden but remained a dominant figure in the Republican Party.
Return to Office (2025–Present)
In a historic political comeback, Trump won the 2024 election, defeating incumbent President Joe Biden. He began his second non-consecutive term in January 2025, making him the only U.S. president since Grover Cleveland to accomplish this feat.
Political Influence and Controversies
Trump’s rhetoric, policies, and personal conduct have sparked both intense support and opposition. His claims about election integrity and confrontational style have redefined political discourse in the 21st century.
Legacy
Loved by his supporters and criticized by his opponents, Trump has had a profound impact on American politics. His presidency continues to shape the nation’s political, cultural, and judicial landscape.
