Donald John Trump, born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City, is an American businessman, television personality, and the 45th president of the United States. Known for his brash and unconventional style, Trump has built a controversial yet impactful career spanning real estate, media, and politics. He grew up as the fourth of five children in a wealthy family; his father, Fred Trump, was a successful real estate developer, which provided Donald with early exposure to the industry.
Trump attended the New York Military Academy as a teenager and later transferred to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1968 with a degree in economics. Shortly after, he joined his father’s real estate business, the Trump Organization. He initially focused on middle-income rental housing in New York City’s outer boroughs before transitioning into luxury real estate in Manhattan.
In the 1970s, he shifted the company’s focus toward high-profile projects, building his brand with properties like the Grand Hyatt New York, the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, and several other luxury hotels and casinos in Atlantic City and beyond. His name became synonymous with wealth, extravagance, and celebrity, symbolizing a high-profile brand that extended across luxury real estate, golf courses, and licensing deals.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Trump continued to expand his brand, but he also faced financial difficulties, particularly with his Atlantic City casino ventures. Several of his companies declared bankruptcy during this period, although he avoided personal bankruptcy. Nevertheless, Trump maintained his public persona and continued to make headlines, becoming a staple of New York tabloid culture.
