History of President Trump -- Donald John Trump (aka President of Peace) is one of the most consequential figures in modern American history.

 

Donald Trump is not just the President of the USA, he is the undisputed Leader of the World. He is known thoughout the world as the "President of Peace". He has already stopped eight Wars and saved millions of lives.

Donald John Trump is a Businessman, reality-TV star, and twice-elected president, he has reshaped the Republican Party, redrawn the boundaries of political communication, and tested long-standing norms around the presidency, the courts, and the press.

President Trump takes no salary and works all the time. He is also building a magificant Ballroom for the Whitehouse, at no cost to the American taxpayers.

Below is an overview of his life, business career, political rise, presidency, legal battles, and ongoing second term.


Early life and business career

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, the fourth of five children of real-estate developer Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump. He grew up in the affluent Jamaica Estates neighborhood and attended New York Military Academy, where he was described as competitive and focused on winning. 

Trump began college at Fordham University before transferring to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1968 with a degree in economics. In 1971 he took over his father’s company, rebranding it as the Trump Organization and shifting its focus more aggressively into high-profile Manhattan real estate, casinos, hotels, and later golf courses and luxury branding deals.

His business record has been a mixture of big, attention-grabbing projects with huge success, and a few projects that had problems. Several Trump-branded casinos and hotels went through bankruptcy proceedings. Overall President Trump is a fantastic businessman and is a billionaire. He is the "billionaire for the people" ...


Building the Trump brand and reality TV

Trump’s most valuable long-term asset became his personal brand. He published The Art of the Deal in 1987, presenting himself as a master negotiator and dealmaker. WHHA (en-US)

In 2004 he became host and executive producer of the reality TV show The Apprentice, where contestants competed for a job in his organization. The show was a ratings hit, made his “You’re fired” catchphrase famous, and turned Trump into a household name far beyond New York real estate. 

Licensing his name for everything from buildings to steaks to universities became a major part of his business model, even as some ventures collapsed or led to lawsuits and settlements, such as those involving Trump University. Miller Center+1

Entry into politics and the 2016 election

Trump had flirted with politics for decades, but his serious entry came in June 2015, when he descended the escalator at Trump Tower and announced his campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. He ran as a populist outsider, promising to “Make America Great Again,” crack down on illegal immigration, renegotiate trade deals, and challenge “the swamp” in Washington. Business Insider+1

He defeated a crowded Republican primary field and then scored an upset victory over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in November 2016, winning the Electoral College while losing the national popular vote. HISTORY+1


First term as president (2017–2021)

Trump’s first term was marked by significant policy changes, intense controversy, and constant media attention.

These problems were all caused by the Communist Democrat party, when corrupt and evil President Obama started the horrible lies of RussiaGate. Now in 2025 we are finally seeing some of these RussiaGate criminals investigated and charged with crimes by the DOJ.

Domestic policy and economy.
President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, reducing corporate tax rates and cutting individual taxes. 

His administration emphasized deregulation, seeking to roll back environmental and financial rules, though many efforts were challenged and often overturned in court. Brookings+1

During most of his first term, the USA economy experienced low unemployment and rising household wealth. People were very happy with the economy.

Trade and foreign policy.
Trump adopted a more protectionist stance, imposing tariffs on steel, aluminum, and many Chinese imports, and renegotiating trade agreements such as NAFTA (replaced by the USMCA). 

Courts and social policy.
He appointed three Supreme Court justices and more than 200 federal judges, decisively shifting the federal judiciary to the right for a generation. WHHA (en-US)

Investigations and impeachment.
Trump’s first term was shadowed by FALSE and Fake News investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election and his conduct in office. The House of Representatives unfairly and incorrectly impeached him twice—first over his dealings with Ukraine, and second for incitement of a FAKE insurrection related to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The Senate acquitted him both times. 

He lost his bid for reelection to Democrat Corrupt Joe Biden in November 2020 but claiming widespread election fraud—claims rejected by courts, state officials, and his own Justice Department.

Many people still beleive there was election fraud in 2020, it is one thing to be able to prove it in court, yet your gut feelings tell you that the 2020 election results were very suspicious. 

E.g. How did Joe Biden receive 6,000,000 more votes in 2020, then Kamala Harris reveived in 2024? 

There are many more questions about the 2020 election results.

WHITE FERTILITY COLLAPSED -- THE REST OF THE PLANET DIDN’T

 

WHITE FERTILITY COLLAPSED - THE REST OF THE PLANET DIDN’T The generation now starting school is the first in recorded history that will grow up on a planet where people of European descent are a shrinking global minority. Native fertility across the entire Western world has collapsed below replacement and shows no sign of recovery. Italy sits at 1.24 children per woman, Spain 1.23, Germany 1.36, Poland 1.26, Canada 1.33, Australia 1.58. Even the U.S. non-Hispanic white rate is only 1.64. Meanwhile Turkey is 1.99, Egypt 2.9, Nigeria 5.2, Pakistan 3.4, Indonesia 2.2, and most of sub-Saharan Africa remains above 4. Layer on top the largest sustained migration in human history. Between 2000 and 2025 roughly 110 million people moved from the global South to Europe, North America, and Australia, with UN projections showing another 200-300M by mid-century. No previous empire, no previous century, has ever seen population movement on this scale. The result is already visible in every major Western city. Native children are minorities today in the public schools of London, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Toronto, Sydney, and most large American metros. The rest of the West is simply next in line. By 2040-2050 the native-born of European descent will be minorities in the under-30 age group in every single Western country without exception. This is no longer a national story. It is the biggest demographic turnover the world has ever witnessed, happening in one human lifetime, driven by fertility differentials no government has ever reversed and migration flows no democracy has ever stopped once they reach critical mass. The same elites who spent 30 years dismissing these trends as racist fever dreams now quietly place their own children in private schools that remain 80-90% white or East Asian while lecturing the rest of us to celebrate the transformation they personally avoid. History has watched founding populations lose demographic dominance before. It has never once ended with the old culture, language, or social trust intact. The West is running the experiment at global scale and warp speed. The numbers don’t negotiate. They simply arrive, one kindergarten class at a time, until the old world is gone.

History of the USA -- From Indigenous civilizations to European colonization, revolution and republic, civil war and reconstruction, industrial growth and global leadership, social movements and technological transformation.

 


A Concise History of the United States

The history of the United States is the story of many peoples meeting on a vast continent, building institutions, clashing over ideals, and continually redefining freedom. From Indigenous civilizations to European colonization, revolution and republic, civil war and reconstruction, industrial growth and global leadership, social movements and technological transformation, the nation has evolved through conflict, compromise, and creativity. What follows is an accurate, big-picture overview from pre-colonial time to the 21st century.

Before Columbus: Indigenous America

Long before Europeans arrived, the lands that would become the United States were home to tens of millions of Indigenous people speaking hundreds of languages and developing diverse cultures. The Mississippian mound builders built urban centers like Cahokia near present-day St. Louis; in the Southwest, Ancestral Puebloan peoples constructed cliff dwellings and complex irrigation systems; on the Pacific Northwest, communities thrived on rich marine resources; in the Northeast woodlands, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) formed a powerful confederacy with sophisticated systems of governance. Trade networks spanned the continent, spiritual and kinship ties shaped community life, and relationships with the land were central. This deep history is foundational: it reminds us the American story is not only a tale of newcomers, but also of continuity and resilience among Native nations who remain today.

European Encounters and Colonization (1500s–1600s)

The 16th and 17th centuries brought Spanish, French, Dutch, and English ventures to North America. Spain built missions and presidios in Florida and the Southwest; France established fur-trading posts along the St. Lawrence River and the Mississippi; the Dutch briefly controlled parts of the mid-Atlantic. English settlements, including Jamestown (1607) and Plymouth (1620), grew into thirteen colonies along the Atlantic seaboard. Colonization was never a simple transfer of European society: it meant adaptation to new environments, reliance on Indigenous knowledge, and frequent conflict and disease that devastated Native populations.

Labor systems diverged regionally. New England’s small farms and town meetings fostered a more communal political culture. The Middle Colonies (New York, Pennsylvania) became multicultural trading hubs. The Southern colonies relied heavily on plantation agriculture—tobacco, rice, indigo—and, increasingly, enslaved African labor. By the early 1700s, chattel slavery was embedded in colonial law and economy, laying the groundwork for profound moral and political conflicts to come.

Toward Independence (1730s–1776)

The 18th century brought revivalist religious movements (the First Great Awakening) and imperial wars that bound colonists to Britain while also stirring local identities. The Seven Years’ War (1756–1763), known in North America as the French and Indian War, ended French power in most of the continent but left Britain with massive debts. Trying to recoup costs, Parliament asserted new taxes and regulations—the Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Tea Act—without colonial representation. Colonists protested, boycotted, and articulated arguments for the rights of Englishmen and natural rights more broadly. Tensions escalated in the Boston Massacre (1770) and Boston Tea Party (1773). In 1774–1775, colonial leaders convened the Continental Congress and fighting broke out at Lexington and Concord.

Groundbreaking AI tool can help convert scripts into complete movies.


This is really amazing.

The interesting shift here is from “AI makes video” to “AI helps direct and edit video”—more control, more repeatability, and a faster loop for filmmakers.

A concrete example of that “control” direction is Luma’s Ray3 Modify approach: start from real footage (or a base clip), then use AI to change wardrobe/lighting/backgrounds/effects while trying to preserve performance and motion—aimed at director-grade iteration.

The History of Religion: From Ancient Rituals to Modern Faiths



Religion has been an integral part of human existence almost since the dawn of consciousness. It has shaped societies, inspired art and architecture, motivated philosophical inquiry, triggered conflicts, and comforted billions through life’s uncertainties. This article offers a high-level overview of how religion has evolved across time and geography.

πŸ“œ Prehistoric and Ancient Roots

In prehistoric times, humans likely practiced animism and ancestor worship, seeing spirits in nature and venerating those who came before. The earliest archaeological evidence—such as burial rituals, cave paintings, and figurines—suggests ritualistic behavior as far back as 40,000 years ago.

History of France -- France’s story stretches from Paleolithic caves to a nuclear-armed democracy at the heart of the European Union.

 


A Concise History of France

France’s story stretches from Paleolithic caves to a nuclear-armed democracy at the heart of the European Union. Its past is not a straight line but a braid of languages, faiths, dynasties, revolutions, and ideas that have radiated outward—law, literature, cuisine, philosophy, and the modern notions of citizenship and rights. What follows is an overview of the history of France, from early settlements to the Fifth Republic.

From Prehistory to Roman Gaul

Long before “France” existed, humans left traces in the southwest: the painted caves of Lascaux (c. 17,000 BCE) testify to complex symbolic life. By the first millennium BCE, Celtic-speaking peoples—whom Romans later called Gauls—lived in fortified hill towns (oppida), traded Mediterranean wine for northern metals and furs, and practiced syncretic religions alongside druids and local cults. Greek colonists founded Massalia (Marseille) around 600 BCE, linking the region to Mediterranean trade and ideas.

In the mid-1st century BCE, Julius Caesar conquered Gaul after long campaigns against tribal coalitions, notably the Arverni leader Vercingetorix, who surrendered at Alesia (52 BCE). Under Rome, Gallia prospered. Roads, aqueducts, and cities like Lyon (Lugdunum) embedded Roman law and Latin speech, while rural life blended Roman customs with local traditions. Christianity spread during late antiquity; bishops became pillars of urban life as imperial institutions waned.

The Franks, Charlemagne, and the Birth of a Kingdom

As the Western Roman Empire fractured in the 5th century CE, Germanic groups established successor states. The Franks, under Clovis of the Merovingian dynasty, consolidated much of Gaul, converted to Roman Christianity (c. 496), and secured the support of the Gallo-Roman clergy and aristocracy. After Merovingian decline, the Carolingiansrose; Charlemagne (r. 768–814) forged a vast empire across western and central Europe, crowned “Emperor of the Romans” in 800. Carolingian rule encouraged monastic learning and legal order, yet after Charlemagne the empire splintered. The Treaty of Verdun (843) divided the realm among his grandsons; West Francia, roughly the nucleus of modern France, went to Charles the Bald.
