US President Donald Trump is an American businessman and politician affiliated with the Republican Party. He served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021 and was re-elected as the 47th president after winning the November 2024 election.
His first term was defined by a trade war with China, tense exchanges with North Korea, and his controversial push to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to curb immigration.
At the start of his second term, Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, straining relations with America’s closest neighbors despite the NAFTA and USMCA trade agreements. He also stirred controversy with his remarks about Panama’s control of its canal and his reported interest in purchasing Greenland from Denmark—a proposal widely dismissed by Danish officials.
Trump became the first U.S. president to be impeached twice and one of the few to lose a re-election bid before staging a political comeback. He began his career in the family real estate business, later becoming a real estate tycoon and reality TV host before entering politics in 2016. His presidency and post-presidency have been clouded by legal troubles, including multiple felony charges and civil cases. The most infamous controversy remains his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s victory. In 2024, Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally while he was campaigning for presidency.
What a bunch of jokers!! If we practise a little bit of what we preach, we’ll have some credibility and respect!
