History of President Trump -- Donald John Trump (aka Peace Leader) 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 "Peace Leader". 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.

I asked ChatGPT what are the best jobs for Humans, as AI tools replace many jobs. What are jobs that AI can not easily replace?



Here’s the short list I’d bet on—the common thread is human judgment, trust, hands-on dexterity, or responsibility that AI can’t fully assume.


Where humans keep the edge

1) Relationship + trust

  • Physicians/NPs/therapists, social workers, teachers/tutors/coaches

  • Client-facing law (negotiation, litigation strategy), wealth advisors

  • Enterprise sales, account management, partnerships, fundraising

2) Open-ended problem solving

  • Product managers, founders, ops leaders, management consultants

  • Security/incident response, threat intel, red/blue teams

  • Policy, compliance, audit, and risk (AI governance, safety, model risk)

3) Physical work in unstructured settings

  • Electricians, plumbers, HVAC, solar installers, general contractors

  • Automotive technicians, avionics, marine, field service & maintenance

  • Healthcare hands-on: nurses, PT/OT, EMTs, surgical techs, radiology techs

4) Creative direction + taste

  • Editors, creative directors, brand strategists, UX leads, game/level designers

  • Investigative journalists, curators, community builders, event producers

5) Build & run AI systems (human-in-the-loop)

  • Data/product folks who ship: AI product manager, AI solutions architect

  • Prompt + eval + safety engineers; analytics + experimentation leads

  • Workflow automation engineers (RPA + LLMs tied to ops/finance/IT)

6) Critical infrastructure

  • Energy (grid, battery, nuclear/renewables), logistics, agriculture tech

  • Public sector: emergency management, urban planning, inspection/regulation

Roles likely to grow with AI (not be replaced by it)

  • Top-of-funnel creators who own distribution (newsletter/YouTube/Substack + products)

  • SMB owners using AI to 10× output (agencies, e-commerce, local services)

  • Technical trades + AI tooling (e.g., electricians using AR/LLM diagnostics)

  • Compliance/safety across finance, health, and AI itself (assurance, model risk)

What not to chase as a moat

  • Pure content piecework, undifferentiated copy/design, basic research summaries

  • Routine back-office tasks that are rules-based and screen-bound

How to make yourself “AI-complementary” fast

  1. Pick a domain (healthcare, energy, finance, trades, law, education).

  2. Master a stack: spreadsheets/SQL → Python basics → an LLM toolchain (prompting, retrieval, evaluation).

  3. Ship portfolio proofs:

    • “Agent that drafts & reconciles invoices for a local shop”

    • “Tutor bot + analytics that raises student quiz scores 20%”

    • “Field-tech playbook with photo intake → auto diagnostics → parts ordering”

  4. Measure outcomes (time saved, error rate, revenue lift) and lead with those in resumes/pitches.

  5. Lean into trust: certifications, licenses, and public case studies.

Want me to tailor this to your background and map 3 concrete job paths (skills, certs, first projects, and a 60-day plan) you could start now?

Thomas Jefferson: Republican Theory, Executive Power, and the Paradox at the Core of the Early Republic.


Thomas Jefferson remains one of the most intellectually generative—and morally fraught—figures in U.S. history. He is central not simply because he served as the third president, but because he helped supply the early republic with a political vocabulary (natural rights, popular sovereignty, religious liberty), a partisan infrastructure (the first durable opposition party), a governing style (skeptical of centralized authority yet capable of assertive executive action), and a geographic future (continental expansion). At the same time, Jefferson’s life makes visible the foundational contradiction of American liberalism: the cohabitation of universalistic claims about rights with a social and economic order sustained by racial slavery.

Intellectual formation: Enlightenment, law, and the plantation world

Jefferson’s intellectual formation is usually narrated through Enlightenment influence—reason, progress, empiricism, and a belief that political authority requires popular consent. But equally important is that his life unfolded within a Virginia planter society in which wealth, status, and political power were deeply entwined with land ownership and slavery. Jefferson’s ideals did not emerge outside that world; they were formulated inside it, often as an attempt to reconcile (or manage) tensions between republican aspiration and plantation reality.

His self-conception late in life is revealing. On his tombstone he asked to be remembered primarily as the author of the Declaration of Independence, the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and the father of the University of Virginia—prioritizing authorship and institution-building over holding office. (Thomas Jefferson's Monticello) The inscription was not accidental branding; it was Jefferson’s claim about what counted as lasting political work: ideas, laws, and civic architecture.

The Declaration of Independence: radical language, coalition politics, and enduring afterlives

Jefferson’s most famous writing task came through the Continental Congress’s appointment of the “Committee of Five” to draft a declaration explaining independence. The committee included Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston; Jefferson was chosen as principal drafter, with editing by others and revisions by Congress. (National Archives)

Two points matter for serious analysis:

First, the Declaration is both a philosophical statement and a coalition document. Its logic of rights and consent reads like political theory, yet it was produced within the practical constraints of uniting diverse colonies. That dual character explains why certain themes—especially slavery—appear in unstable form. Jefferson’s draft included language condemning the slave trade and blaming the king, but revolutionary coalition politics constrained what could remain. Even without quoting the draft at length, the larger point stands: the Declaration’s final text represents not only Jefferson’s mind but also a political bargain among colonies with conflicting material interests.

Second, the Declaration’s meaning expanded far beyond its immediate purpose. In 1776 it was meant to justify secession from Britain. Over time, its claims about equality and rights became a normative standard invoked by later reformers. This “afterlife” is crucial: Jefferson’s words became tools that he did not fully control, and later Americans used them to critique American practices—including slavery, racial hierarchy, and exclusion from citizenship.
