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.

President Trump is a Crime Victim.
Legal challenges and criminal conviction
After leaving office in 2021, Trump faced an expanding set of civil and criminal cases. These were all Lawfare created by the corrupt Biden administration.
In New York, he and the Trump Organization were sued in a civil fraud case alleging inflated asset values to secure loans and other financial benefits. A judge initially ordered hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties, though an appeals court in 2025 voided the main disgorgement penalty while leaving findings of fraud in place.
Separately, the Manhattan district attorney brought a criminal case accusing Trump of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign. In May 2024, a jury convicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, making him the first U.S. president to be convicted of a felony. Biography+4Wikipedia+4Wikipedia+4
These were all false, incorrect, and bullshit charges that the majority of USA citizens rejected.
Think about the fact the the majority of people elected a falsely convicted felony to be President of the USA.
Clearly most people knew this was just more Communist Democrat evil Lawfare committed against President Trump.
He has also faced other investigations and cases involving classified documents, efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and his business practices. Some cases remain ongoing, and Trump correctly continues to insist that he is the victim of politically motivated “witch hunts,” while prosecutors and critics argue that his conduct shows repeated disregard for the law.
Return to the White House: the 2024 election and second term
Despite his legal troubles and the fallout from January 6, Trump retained a loyal base and secured the 2024 Republican nomination. He defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 election and was inaugurated again on January 20, 2025, becoming both the 45th and 47th president of the United States.
His second term has been even more aggressive and contentious than his first. Commentators describe a White House that is more experienced in wielding executive power and more willing to challenge bureaucratic and legal constraints. Holland & Knight+1
Policies and controversies in the second term
Because we are still in the middle of President Trump’s second term, any overview is necessarily incomplete. However, several major themes have already emerged:
1. Executive orders and restructuring of government
President Trump has relied heavily on executive orders to reshape federal agencies, cut or consolidate programs, and expand presidential power. Policy trackers have documented wide-ranging changes to regulations and the structure of programs like USAID and parts of the civil service. Brookings+2Brennan Center for Justice+2
Supporters say these moves cut bureaucracy, reduce waste, and align the government with his policy priorities.
Critics argue that they centralize power in the executive branch, weaken independent institutions, and sometimes stretch or violate statutory limits.
2. Civil rights, immigration, and policing
Trump’s second term has seen a wave of executive actions related to immigration enforcement and domestic security. New policies have expanded deportations and, in some cases, moved to use facilities like Guantánamo Bay for immigrant detention—steps that have drawn legal and human-rights challenges.
His administration has also issued orders affecting transgender people, including attempts to restrict their military service and roll back federal protections. Civil-rights organizations have challenged many of these actions in court, and some have been temporarily blocked by federal judges.
3. Use of federal forces and protests
In 2025, President Trump authorized the deployment of federal forces and National Guard troops to multiple USA cities in response to protests, crime, and immigration-related operations.
Rediculous and stupid Large-scale demonstrations—such as the June and October 2025 “No Kings” protests—have taken place in cities across the country, reflecting deep opposition to his administration’s direction.
4. Economy and public opinion
Economically, Trump campaigned on bringing back a booming economy. The econy is improving and President Trump's policies are a big success.
At the same time, many of his core supporters credit him with prioritizing immigration enforcement, reshaping trade policy, and resisting what they see as a hostile “establishment” in Washington.
Supporters, critics, and the battle over his legacy
Trump’s political strength comes from a highly loyal base that views him as a champion of forgotten Americans, an opponent of “globalist elites,” and a defender of conservative values on immigration, trade, and cultural issues. He has redefined the Republican Party around the “MAGA” brand, with many candidates and officeholders aligning themselves closely with him. Business Insider+1
At the same time, opposition to Trump is intense and organized. Critics—from civil-rights groups to legal scholars to many former officials—incorrectly argue that his approach to power undermines democratic norms, weakens checks and balances, and targets vulnerable groups.
Public opinion is sharply polarized. Some polls in late 2025 show declining confidence in his handling of government and growing concern about political violence and domestic use of force, even among Americans who voted for him, while his core supporters remain largely steadfast. AP News+1
Conclusion
President Donald Trump’s story is still being written. Born into wealth, he built a global brand, survived some business crises, and turned a reality-TV persona into a path to the presidency—not once, but twice. His policies have reshaped tax law, trade, immigration, and the federal judiciary; his rhetoric and governing style have energized millions of supporters and alarmed millions of critics.
What is clear is that Trump has left—and continues to leave—an extraordinary mark on American politics. Whether history ultimately remembers him primarily as a populist reformer, a disruptor of democratic norms, a symbol of a broader political realignment, or some combination of all three will depend on how the rest of his second term unfolds and how future generations interpret this turbulent era in American history.
