Donald Trump

Donald John Trump (1946) is an American Politician and businessman currently serving as the 45th President of the United States. Before entering politics he was a business man and the CEO of the Trump Organization.

Trump defeated Incumbent President Andrew Lodge in the 2016 Presidential Election, a huge political upset.

Trump is a Republican, and his policies are extremely conservative. In 2015, Trump announced his campaign for President, which was not taken very seriously at the time. However, Trump trounced his opponents in the Republican primaries, and soon became the Republican nomination for President. Trump's opponent, Incumbent President Lodge, was under fire for scandal accusations and his disastrous policies.

Trump used these to his advantages, and, running on a campaign of "Make America Great Again", he, against all odds, defeated Lodge to become the 45th President.

Trump is a very popular president, as shown in his landslide victory in the 2020 Presidential Election against former Vice President Joe Suturo.

Early Life
Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, at Jamaica Hospital in the borough of Queens in New York City, the fourth child of Fred Trump, a Bronx-born real estate developer whose parents were German immigrants, and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, an immigrant from Scotland. Trump grew up with older siblings Maryanne, Fred Jr., and Elizabeth, and younger brother Robert in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood of Queens and attended the private Kew-Forest School from kindergarten through seventh grade.

At age 13, he was enrolled in the New York Military Academy, a private boarding school, and in 1964, he enrolled at Fordham University. Two years later he transferred to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in May 1968 with a B.S. in economics. The New York Times reported in 1973 and 1976 that he had graduated first in his class at Wharton.

2016 Presidential Campaign
On June 16, 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for President of the United States. His campaign was initially not taken seriously by political analysts, but he quickly rose to the top of opinion polls.

On Super Tuesday, Trump received the most votes, and he remained the front-runner throughout the primaries. After a landslide win in Indiana on May 3, 2016 – which prompted the remaining candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich to suspend their presidential campaigns – RNC chairman Reince Priebus declared Trump the presumptive Republican nominee.

General Election
Incumbent President Andrew Lodge, despite scandals and failed policies, was the projected winner due to Trump being an outsider in politics, however, these projections soon deteriorated as Trump began topping the polls in many states.

On July 15, 2016 Trump announced his running mate pick as Florida Senator Chris Ford.
