Donald John Trump (/ˈdɒnəld dʒɒn trʌmp/ ⓘ; born June 14, 1946) is an American billionaire businessman, real estate developer and the 45th President of the United States. Having no prior experience as an elected politician, he took the oath of office of the Presidency on January 20, 2017.
Trump was born and raised in the Queens borough of New York City and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971, he took control of his family's real estate and construction firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, which was later renamed The Trump Organization. During his business career, Trump has built, renovated or managed numerous office towers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He owned the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants from 1996 to 2015, and has lent the use of his name to brand various products. Trump has made cameo appearances in films and television series, and hosted and co-produced The Apprentice, a reality television series on NBC from 2004 to 2015.
In 2015, he announced his candidacy for the 2016 election, and quickly emerged as the front-runner among 17 contenders in the Republican primaries. His campaign was unorthodox by his combative style and personal use of Twitter. Trump's presidential campaign emphasizes renegotiating U.S.–China relations and free trade agreements such as NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, strongly enforcing immigration laws, and building a wall along the Mexico–U.S. border. He also campaigned on simplifying the tax code while reducing taxes across the board, and imposing tariffs on imports by companies offshoring jobs.
Despite overwhelming polls predicting defeat, Trump won the November 8, 2016 presidential election by winning 306 of 535 votes of the U.S. electoral college, although he received fewer popular votes nationwide than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. At age 70, Trump is the oldest person to begin the presidency.
