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.

Did the British help to STOP evil Slavery?

Yes.

Not by themselves, and not everywhere—but Britain did play a major role in ending slavery in the British Empire and suppressing the transatlantic slave trade.

Britain ended (most of) its slave trade in 1807. Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act on 25 March 1807, making it illegal for British subjects/ships to trade enslaved people across the Atlantic. (parliament.uk)
Britain abolished slavery across most of its empire in 1833/34. The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 received Royal Assent on 28 August 1833 and took effect 1 August 1834, freeing 800,000+ enslaved people in many British colonies (with important exceptions and transitional “apprenticeship” arrangements that delayed full freedom in practice). (Encyclopedia Britannica)
Britain then enforced suppression at sea. The Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron (formed 1808) patrolled West Africa to intercept slave ships; estimates commonly cite roughly ~1,600 ships captured and ~150,000 people freed from ships.

But a couple of big caveats matter:

Britain had been a major slave-trading power before abolition. The 1807 law ended a trade Britain had helped build and profit from. (slaveryandremembrance.org)
Abolition came with compensation to slave owners, not to the enslaved. The British government set £20 million aside to compensate owners after abolition—one reason the legislation was politically achievable. (Bank of England)
Slavery didn’t end globally in 1834. Slavery continued (and in some places expanded) in other empires and regions long after Britain’s laws; Britain’s efforts were significant but not “the end of slavery.”

So the most accurate framing is: Britain helped stop its slave trade (1807), abolished slavery across much of its empire (1834), and became a leading force in suppressing the Atlantic slave trade—yet it did not single-handedly “stop slavery,” and its earlier role in slavery was enormous.

New evidence that X is still unfairly censoring many people.

Elon Musk is a Free Speech Fraud.

The newest updates to the X software do NOT fix any Censorship.

If the claim is “X has new algorithms that stop censorship”, here are public, checkable pieces of evidence that point the other way (or at least show the claim is misleading).

1) X openly says it does “censor” by limiting reach

X’s own Transparency Report describes its enforcement philosophy as “Freedom of Speech, not Freedom of Reach” and says it will restrict the reach of posts (make content “less discoverable”) as an alternative to removal.
That’s algorithmic suppression by design (even if you don’t call it “censorship,” it’s still distribution control).

2) The open-sourced recommendation code includes “visibility filters” and “downranking”

In the public GitHub repo for X’s recommendation system, the README explicitly lists “visibility-filters” as responsible for filtering content to support legal compliance, protect revenue, and includes “coarse-grained downranking.”
So even the “transparent” algorithm story contains built-in machinery for limiting visibility.

3) X’s own data shows it acts on government removal requests at high rates

X’s Global Transparency Report (H2 2024) shows 97,006 total removal requests, with 79,438 cases actioned — an 81.89% action rate.
If you’re arguing “censorship is over,” this is strong counter-evidence: content is still being withheld/removed in response to external requests.

Grok is very defective, it is reluntant to admit when it is wrong.

Below is from Grok:

If censorship was specifically targeting pro-Trump or conservative content, the neutral pineapple post should have performed noticeably better.
It didn't—it matched the low pattern exactly.…

Tesla FSD and Robotaxi: The Long Road from “Driver Assist” to Autonomous Mobility

Tesla discount Referral Link

** If a new Tesla buyer clicks and uses this referral link they will save between $500 and $2,500 on a new Tesla (Model 3, Y, S, X, or Cybertruck) by using this referral link.

Specific promotions vary, with some reports indicating up to $2,500 off Model 3, $1,000 off S/X/Cybertruck, and $500 off Model Y, often paired with 3 months of Full Self-Driving.

Tesla’s story in self-driving is a mix of real technical progress, bold marketing, and a moving finish line. On one hand, Full Self-Driving (FSD) has evolved into a system that can handle complex navigation—turns, merges, lane changes, intersections, parking maneuvers—99% of the time with startling competence. On the other hand, Tesla itself is explicit that today’s product is not autonomous: it requires active driver supervision and does not make the car self-driving in the legal or technical sense. (Tesla)

Meanwhile, “Robotaxi” is the bigger promise: cars that don’t just help a driver, but replace the driver—turning vehicles into revenue-generating autonomous fleets. That leap is not merely incremental. It’s a jump across technology, regulation, safety validation, business operations, insurance, and public trust. This article explains what Tesla’s FSD really is today, how it works at a high level, what “Robotaxi” requires that FSD doesn’t yet deliver, and why the next phase will be harder than many people expect.

1) What Tesla FSD is today (and what it is not)

Tesla currently sells Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Tesla describes it as a system that can drive you “almost anywhere” under your supervision, and Tesla emphasizes that enabled features require active driver supervision and “do not make the vehicle autonomous.” (Tesla)

Regulators largely categorize this as SAE Level 2 driver assistance, meaning the system can control steering and speed in certain conditions, but the human driver remains responsible and must continuously supervise. NHTSA’s automation-level descriptions make that distinction clear: Level 2 still expects the driver to monitor the environment and be ready to take over immediately. (NHTSA)

This matters because “self-driving” is not one thing—it’s a ladder:

Level 2 (driver assistance): the human supervises everything.
Level 4 (true robotaxi in a defined area): the system drives itself within an Operational Design Domain (ODD)—for example, specific cities, geofenced neighborhoods, certain weather limits—without expecting a human to watch the road.
Level 5 (anywhere, anytime): full autonomy in all conditions.

Tesla’s consumer FSD today is still, by the company’s own characterization and by regulatory framing, on the Level 2 rung. (NHTSA)

2) How Tesla’s approach differs: “vision-first” and fleet learning

Tesla’s technical strategy has been distinctive: heavy reliance on cameras and neural networks, with a philosophy that the best path to scalable autonomy is to solve driving the way humans do—primarily through vision—then scale via software and data.

Over the last several years, Tesla moved further toward “Tesla Vision.” Tesla has published support material describing the transition away from certain non-vision sensors, including the removal of ultrasonic sensors (USS) from vehicles and the shift to camera-based replacements for some features. (Tesla)
(Separately, multiple automotive outlets documented Tesla’s earlier move toward camera-only for certain models/markets by removing radar, as part of the broader “Tesla Vision” shift.) (The Drive)

The upside of this approach is scalability: millions of cars can collect real-world driving data, and Tesla can iterate quickly via over-the-air updates. The downside is that vision-only autonomy has to be extraordinarily robust in the messy corners of reality: glare, heavy rain, occlusions, odd construction layouts, faded markings, emergency scenes, human gestures, and rare-but-critical edge cases.
