Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality, and businessman

who has served as the 47th president of the United States since January 20, 2025. A member of
the Republican Party, he previously served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021.

Born in New York City, Trump graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1968. He became president of his family real estate business in 1971, and oriented it to
luxury accommodation. After a series of business bankruptcies in the 1990s, he launched several side
ventures. From 2004 to 2015, he hosted and co-produced the reality television series The Apprentice.
Trump won the 2016 presidential election.

His first term's immigration policy included a travel ban targeting refugees and nationals of certain
Muslim-majority countries, and expanding the U.S.–Mexico border wall; he also briefly implemented a
family separation policy. He rolled back many environmental policies, signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of
2017, began a trade war with China in 2018, successfully nominated three Supreme Court justices, and
withdrew the U.S. from agreements on climate, trade, and Iran's nuclear program. Trump became the
first sitting president to enter North Korean territory, but did not reach an agreement on
denuclearization with Kim Jong Un. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump downplayed its
severity, contradicted guidance from health officials, and signed the CARES Act stimulus. He was
impeached in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and in 2021 for incitement of
insurrection; the Senate acquitted him in both cases. After his first term, scholars and historians ranked
Trump one of the worst presidents in American history.

Trump is the central figure of Trumpism and the Make America Great Again movement. Many of his
comments and actions have been characterized as racially charged, racist, or misogynistic. He made false
and misleading statements and promoted conspiracy theories to a degree unprecedented in American
politics. Trump lost the 2020 presidential election but refused to concede, falsely claiming electoral fraud
and attempting to overturn the results, including through his involvement in the January 6 Capitol
attack in 2021. In November 2022, Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential
election, securing the Republican nomination. In civil proceedings, he was found liable for sexual abuse
and defamation in 2023, and financial fraud in 2024. In May 2024 he was found guilty of falsifying
business records, making him the first U.S. president convicted of a felony.

Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the general election to win a second term. After Trump's
victory, he was sentenced to a penalty-free discharge, and two other felony indictments against him
were dismissed due to Justice Department policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. Trump began his
second presidency by signing numerous executive orders and implementing his deportation program.
