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.

What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO? I explain these concepts below.



Search Engine Optimization (SEO) used to be easier.

Companies did not have to worry about all the content on their websites being perfect. They just needed to rank for their important keywords.
Today you need even better content and you still need great Link Building. Powerful backlinks still signal to Search Engines and AI tools which content is important.

SEO = Search Engine Optimization
→ The foundation. Slow to build, but compounds.
→ Clear measurability. You can track the full funnel.
→ Pitch to finance: "It's an asset, not an expense."

AEO = Answer Engine Optimization
→ Getting into AI answer boxes on Google.
→ Faster payback, but harder to attribute.
→ Pitch to finance: "Cheaper traffic on high-intent queries. Harder to measure, but it's working."

GEO = Generative Engine Optimization
→ Getting recommended by ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, etc.
→ Almost no measurability yet. No click data. No conversion path.
→ Pitch to finance: "Early bet. Can't measure it yet. But if AI sends people to competitors and not us, we're behind."

The question isn't which one to pick.

It's how to allocate resources across all three — based on where you are and what you can measure.

SEO is still the engine.
AEO is the next layer.
GEO is the bet you place now so you're not catching up later.


History Notes about Google and SEO:
Google transformed the SEO industry, with PageRank. This was created by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were at Stanford University (beginning in1996). 
Most people do not understand what PageRank is and how it is based on Citation Theory or Citation Analysis.

You can use AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok to ask medical questions, and learn what questions to ask your Physician.

AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok may not be perfect and sometimes give wrong information. They can also be very useful in helping people figure out what questions to ask their physicians.


Background:

About a year ago I had a blood test that showed very low blood platlets. My primary care physician was extermely concerned and told me I had to see a Hematologist. I had never seen a Hematologist previously and I quickly learned they are the doctors who test your blood for Cancer.

Luckily, I did not have Cancer, and they sent me to a Liver expert (Hematologist). I had a FibroScan, which showed that my liver was not causing my low blood platlets and severe fatigue. The liver doctor said that I am not properly diagnosed. 

Now this is when I decided to ask the AI tools to help me.

When platelets are “trapped” in the spleen, it’s usually because the spleen is enlarged (splenomegaly). An enlarged spleen holds on to far more platelets than normal (up to ~90% vs ~30–40%), a process called hypersplenism, which lowers the platelet count in blood tests.

Treatment:
Treatment depends on the underlying cause of hypersplenism. It may include: 
  • Treating the underlying condition (e.g., liver disease, infection)
  • Medications to suppress the spleen's activity
  • Splenectomy (removal of the spleen) in severe cases
Prognosis:
The prognosis for hypersplenism depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. With proper treatment, many people with hypersplenism can live full and healthy lives. 
Additional Information:
  • Hypersplenism can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in adults. 
  • It is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of hypersplenism, as it can be a sign of an underlying serious condition. 

Common causes of an enlarged spleen → low platelets

  • Liver disease & portal hypertension: alcohol-related liver disease, viral hepatitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, splenic/portal vein thrombosis (incl. from pancreatitis).

  • Hematologic cancers & marrow disorders: lymphomas, leukemias, myelofibrosis, other myeloproliferative disorders.

  • Infections: EBV/mononucleosis, CMV, HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, bacterial endocarditis, chronic hepatitis.

  • Autoimmune/inflammatory conditions: Felty’s syndrome (RA + neutropenia + splenomegaly), systemic lupus, sarcoidosis.

  • Infiltrative/storage diseases: amyloidosis, Gaucher disease.

  • Congestive causes: advanced heart failure, massive transfusion or severe hemolysis causing congestion.

What to do about it

  • Evaluate the cause: CBC with smear, liver panel, hepatitis/HIV tests as indicated, abdominal ultrasound (spleen size, portal/splenic veins), and targeted testing for suspected conditions.

  • Treat the underlying problem (e.g., manage liver disease, treat infection, address hematologic disorder). Platelets usually rise as the spleen shrinks or sequestration improves.

  • Urgent care if platelets <20–30k, active bleeding, new severe abdominal pain, fever, or confusion.

If you share any labs, symptoms, or known conditions, I can help think through what’s most likely in your situation—but this isn’t a diagnosis and doesn’t replace seeing a clinician.

Learn about Japan's history -- Japan is a tapestry of cultural evolution, political transformations, and societal adaptations spanning millennia.

 


The History of Japan: From Ancient Origins to Modern Resilience

Japan's history is a tapestry of cultural evolution, political transformations, and societal adaptations spanning millennia. From its prehistoric roots in isolated archipelago communities to its emergence as a global economic powerhouse, Japan's narrative reflects resilience amid isolation, innovation through adaptation, and profound shifts driven by internal reforms and external pressures. This article explores the major periods of Japanese history, highlighting key events, figures, and developments that shaped the nation.

Prehistory: Jōmon and Yayoi Periods

Japan's human history traces back to the Paleolithic era, with evidence of habitation dating to around 38,000–39,000 BCE. Early settlers, likely arriving by sea during the Last Glacial Maximum, were hunter-gatherers who interacted with now-extinct megafauna such as Palaeoloxodon naumanni. Artifacts from sites like Yamashita Cave (32,000 years ago) and Shiraho Saonetabaru Cave reveal tools like edge-ground axes, underscoring the ingenuity of these early Homo sapiens populations. Acidic soils have preserved few bones, but genetic studies link these inhabitants to modern Japanese.

The Jōmon period (c. 13,000–1000 BCE) represents a pivotal Neolithic phase, named for its distinctive cord-marked pottery—the world's oldest, dating to 14,500 BCE. Jōmon societies achieved sedentism without full agriculture, relying on fishing, foraging, and early plant cultivation. Reconstructions of sites like Sannai-Maruyama depict communal life in pit dwellings, with populations sustaining complex rituals and art forms.

Transitioning to the Yayoi period (c. 1000 BCE–250 CE), continental immigrants from Asia introduced transformative technologies: wet-rice farming, iron and bronze tools, weaving, and glassmaking. Originating in northern KyΕ«shΕ«, these advancements spurred rapid population growth from Jōmon levels to 1–4 million, fostering social hierarchies, tribal conflicts, and cultural fusion. Ancient Chinese texts, such as the Book of Han (111 CE), first reference Japan as "Wa," comprising 100 kingdoms, while the Book of Wei (c. 240 CE) describes Queen Himiko's rule over Yamatai. Genetic evidence confirms intermingling, with annual immigrant influxes estimated at 350–3,000.

Ancient Japan: Kofun, Asuka, and Nara Periods

The Kofun period (c. 250–538 CE) marked Japan's unification under the Yamato polity, symbolized by enormous keyhole-shaped burial mounds like Daisenryō Kofun for Emperor Nintoku. These structures, adorned with haniwa terracotta figures, reflected emerging state power through conquests and alliances. Diplomatic exchanges with China and Korea introduced advanced technologies, earning recognition as the "Five Kings of Wa."

The Asuka period (538–710 CE) began with Buddhism's arrival from Baekje in 538 CE, blending with indigenous Shinto in Shinbutsu-shΕ«gō. The Soga clan championed this faith, with Prince Shōtoku (regent 594–622 CE) authoring the Seventeen-Article Constitution, a Confucian-inspired code promoting meritocracy. The Isshi Incident (645 CE) led to the Taika Reforms, nationalizing land and centralizing administration on Chinese models. Defeat at the Battle of Baekgang (663 CE) accelerated these changes. Architectural marvels like HōryΕ«-ji temple (607 CE), the world's oldest wooden building, exemplify the era's cultural bloom.

In the Nara period (710–794 CE), the capital shifted to Heijō-kyō (Nara), emulating China's Chang'an. Chronicles like Kojiki and Nihon Shoki mythologized imperial divinity, while the Man'yōshΕ« compiled exquisite poetry. Emperor Shōmu (r. 724–749 CE) built Tōdai-ji amid crises like the 735–737 smallpox epidemic, which decimated a quarter of the population. Political scandals, including monk Dōkyō's power grab, prompted relocation to Heian-kyō.

Learn the truth about Slavery.


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.
