Childhood
In 1930, 18-year-old native of the Scottish village Mary MacLeod came to New York for the holidays. There, fate brought her together with 25-year-old Fred Trump, the son of German immigrants, who already owned his own construction company at such a young age. 
In 1936, the couple got married; the couple bought a cottage in a respectable area of Queens, the father of the family continued to engage in the construction business, and Mary devoted herself entirely to motherhood. Donald Trump was the fourth child in the family, but, having inherited a tough and assertive character from his father, he was not going to get used to the role of a younger brother. Neither parents nor school teachers could cope with the unbearable Donald, so at the age of 13 the boy was faced with a fact: he went to the New York Military Academy.
As a cadet, Trump proved to be a disciplined student who boasted both good grades and high social skills and athletic success. Parents could not get enough of their son, who sharply took up his mind, and even began to set him as an example to other children.
First steps towards success
In 1964, Trump graduated from the military academy with honors and entered Fordham University. After studying there for 4 semesters, he transferred to the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1968, he received a bachelor's degree in economics, after which his father accepted his son into the family business. Donald became seriously interested in real estate, hoping in the future to become the heir to the Trump construction empire and multiply his father's fortune many times over. 
The first project entrusted to Donald was the grandiose residential complex Swifton Village in Ohio, designed for 1200 apartments for the "middle class". Under the leadership of the younger Trump, the company was able to complete the project within a year, spending $6 million to build and $12 million from the sale of the apartments.
Double income is more than a great start to a career, but Trump was not going to stop there. The construction of apartments in Ohio was sponsored by the state, but Donald understood that for financial support for more serious projects, one should turn not to government organizations, but to the powers that be: bankers, top managers, oil magnates. In 1971, Donald rented an apartment in the heart of New York - on Manhattan Island. Here his circle of acquaintances quickly replenished with influential people.
Rise of an empire
In 1974, with the help of new connections, Trump won a tender to restore the dilapidated Commodore Hotel. Since many of the buildings near the hotel were also in a deplorable state and needed financial injection, as, indeed, the city itself, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, Donald managed to get tax benefits from the mayor's office for a period of 40 years. Moreover, the largest banks in New York gave him a mortgage loan totaling $70 million. There was only one condition - Trump had to put the area in order. 
Donald's firm took over, and six years later, Manhattan residents could see the 25-story glass-and-steel monolith that replaced the dreary yellow building, surrounded by new, functional and livable neighborhoods. Much later, in October 1996, one of the largest hotel chains Hyatt bought half of the rights to the hotel, increasing Trump's fortune by $142 million.
In 1979, Donald had his eye on a piece of land on 5th Avenue across from Tiffany & Co. When the businessman was asked what made him buy this particular place, he replied: “The wealthiest people in New York are always spinning at Tiffany’s stores.” By 1983, the 58-story skyscraper Trump Tower had grown on this site, surpassing all city buildings in height.
The house instantly gained fame as an elite complex: the windows of the apartments overlooked Central Park, a series of boutiques and restaurants were located below, the floor was tiled with pink marble, and a three-meter fountain beat in the hall. All apartments were bought up within a few months, and Trump became richer by $ 200 million.
When gambling was legalized in New Jersey in 1977, Trump realized that in front of him was a tidbit that should never be missed. In 1980, he purchased a piece of land in Atlantic City, entrusting his brother Robert with obtaining a gambling license. In 1982, the grandiose hotel and entertainment complex Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino was opened at a cost of $250 million. In 1986, Donald bought the city's Hilton hotel and built the $320 million Trump's Castle in its place. In parallel, he began construction of the Taj Mahal, the largest hotel-casino in the world, which opened its doors to visitors in 1990.
On the brink of bankruptcy
By the beginning of the 90s, Donald's fortune was estimated at $1 billion. In addition to a chain of hotels, casinos, and luxury residential skyscrapers, Trump's empire included Trump Shuttle Airline, the New Jersey Generals football team, and a myriad of small businesses that Donald himself lost count of. Gradually, he began to lose control over the business that had grown to incredible proportions. 
New projects were financed with borrowed funds, which was quite risky. Trump's creditors were large banks and investment companies: Citicorp, Merrill Lynch, Chase Manhattan. The businessman's debts were growing rapidly, the threat of bankruptcy was exacerbated by the crisis brewing in the real estate sector. In the early 90s, debts to creditors reached $9.8 billion, of which Trump had to pay $900 million out of his own pocket. On the verge of bankruptcy, the businessman was forced to lay the Trump Tower skyscraper. The press added fuel to the fire, criticizing Donald's every move.
Thanks to innate perseverance, Donald managed to get out of the debt hole. Income from the gambling business covered most of the debts; by 1997, the tycoon had paid off his debts in full and started working on new projects. In 2001, Trump's company, together with the Korean company Daewoo, completed the construction of the 72-story Trump World Tower. The 262-meter skyscraper has grown exactly opposite the UN headquarters in Manhattan.
The 2008 financial crisis was another shock to Trump's building empire. Due to falling sales, he was unable to pay the $40 million loan on time. Although the billionaire could easily pay off the debt with his own funds, he filed for bankruptcy, claiming that the crisis was a force majeure. On February 17, 2009, Trump announced his decision to leave the Board of Directors of his own company.
Television appearances
In 2002, Trump launched the prime-time reality show The Candidate. The participants had to compete among themselves for the right to become a top manager in Trump's company. Unsuccessful contestants were waiting for the businessman’s signature phrase: “You are fired!” (In 2004, he even applied for the trademark "You are fired!"). For each episode of the first season, Donald received about $50,000, but with the start of the second season, the cost of one episode rose to $3 million - so Trump became one of the highest paid presenters on television. 
In 2006, Trump, together with NBC, bought out the Miss Universe Organization, which organized the Miss Universe and Miss America beauty pageants.
The construction magnate also appeared with cameos in several films and TV series, for example, in the comedy Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, he explained to young Macaulay Culkin how to get into the hall.

In 2007, Trump got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which the businessman received for creating the reality show The Candidate.
In October of the same year, Donald was invited to the studio of Larry King, where he sharply walked over the foreign policy of George W. Bush and the appearance of Angelina Jolie. Many remembered other words uttered on the evening air: then Trump said that in the next elections he would certainly support Rudolph Giuliani and Hillary Clintonif they put forward their candidacies for the presidency. This speech was remembered to him in 2013, when Trump was again visiting the host.

Political career. Most Influential Republican
Trump has been predicted for the presidency of the United States since the 80s, but at that time the needle of Donald's political compass was constantly rushing between the right and left poles. By 2009, he was more or less determined in his own views and joined the Republican Party. They tried to nominate Donald, an outstanding economist and manager, to participate in the presidential elections back in 2011, but the businessman said he was not ready to leave the private sector. 
On June 16, 2015, Trump made it clear to the people of the United States that he had changed his mind, announcing his readiness to fight for the presidency. Trump's presidential campaign was strictly thought out: first of all, he visited the state of New Hampshire, traditionally considered a stronghold of the Republicans, then toured Nevada and California, states that had previously received a solid financial injection from Donald. Also, Trump has repeatedly held rallies in his support for the entertainment of the electorate.
Trump's popularity was influenced by his character: the newly minted politician is used to speaking openly, not veiling his speech with euphemisms. Because of this feature, he gained fame as an eccentric truth-seeker.
The main theses of the Trump campaign concerned the following areas of American society: immigration, health care, economics and domestic politics. The Republican was extremely cold towards the people of Mexico and the Middle East. If he wins the election, Trump threatened to build an analogue of the Great Wall of China on the border with Mexico. Trump has also repeatedly advocated the immediate elimination of ISIS military forces.

Donald demanded the abolition of Barack Obama's medical program, saying that its provision is too expensive for the state, and that he would have no problem finding more effective and cheaper methods for taxpayers.
In the economic sector, even Democrats listened to the billionaire; he argued about the need to return production to the United States, increasing duties on goods of American companies manufactured abroad, and also argued the need for a trade war with China.
Scandalous video of Donald trump with the participation of Vladimir Putin
In more detail, he stated his point of view in the book "America Shattered", published in 2015.
According to Forbes magazine, in 2016 Donald Trump's net worth crossed the $4 billion mark. It continued to increase, including through real estate licensing - developers themselves paid Trump to build and sell new projects on his behalf.
In March 2016, Donald Trump was named the most likely Republican presidential candidate, predicting that he would face Hillary Clinton in the final round of the election.
In Russia, Trump's nomination for the presidency was warmly received, as the billionaire has repeatedly promised to improve relations with the Kremlin.
The results of the election of the 45th President of the United States were unpredictable. A month before the final day, both candidates received a good portion of "black PR". Clinton was implicated in a scandal involving the FBI, Trump was accused of sexual harassment. Clinton confidently predicted victory, especially after the third, final debate. However, the results surprised everyone - Trump effortlessly beat his rival, gaining 306 electoral votes out of the 270 required for victory, thereby securing a seat in the Oval Office of the White House.
On December 19, 2016, the Electoral College confirmed the election results with 304 votes for Trump. Only two electors abandoned the original decision.
Donald Trump Inauguration Full Video
Presidency
The presidential inauguration took place on January 20, 2017. During his inaugural speech, Trump called for “overcoming the split between the ruling elite, the corrupt establishment and American society”, radically changing the labor market by expelling all illegal migrants from the country, leaving political blocs that are disadvantageous to the United States, reaching an understanding with Russia, transferring all resources for the good of the country and destroy Islamist terrorists. Trump's right-hand man was Republican Michael Pence. 
In the first two years of his presidency, Trump signed many decrees aimed at economic and foreign policy reforms: expanded the territory for oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico and all oceans except the Indian; tightened measures to combat terrorist organizations; ordered a missile attack on Damascus in response to the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian president against the opposition; withdrew from the nuclear deal with Iran, under which the countries of the "six" received partial control over Iran's nuclear weapons.
But inside America itself, Trump's repeated intention to build a wall between the US and Mexico to limit the influx of illegal immigrants has caused a particularly heated debate.
It was the wall on the border with the southern neighbor that caused the suspension of the US Government at the end of 2018. The Mexican Wall (or "Trump Wall") - one of the main points of the presidential election program - was estimated at almost six billion dollars.
Trump's opponents never tired of talking about his connection with Russia and accused him of obtaining votes due to the indirect interference of the Russian "troll factory" in the election campaign on the social network Facebook.
For example, the large-scale public “Black Activist” was mentioned, among the subscribers of which, according to the assurances of journalists, were “Prigozhin’s trolls”, who urged the audience not to vote for Hillary Clinton. The President, of course, denied this connection. Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent two years spinning this story, but was defeated when he found no evidence that could influence Congress.
Personal life of Donald Trump
Donald Trump has been married several times. His first wife is the Czechoslovakian model Ivana Zelnichkov. They got married in 1977. In the same year, Trump's firstborn Donald Jr. was born, four years later the businessman became the father of Ivanka Trump, and in 1984, the second son, Eric. The marriage of Donald and Ivana Trump ended in 1992. After the divorce, the ex-wife assigned him the nickname The Donald, which the press really liked. 
Trump began dating his second wife, actress Marla Maples, back in 1989, and immediately after his divorce from Ivana, he proposed to her. She gave the billionaire daughter Tiffany. But the marriage did not last long - in 1999 they divorced. Tiffany grew up with her mother in California, but her father also took part in her upbringing.
In early 2005, Donald married another fashion model from Eastern Europe - 34-year-old Melanie Knauss. Trump's third wife was from Slovenia, shone on the pages of glossy magazines, not embarrassed to act in a very frank manner. Trump and Melanie's wedding was on the list of the most expensive wedding ceremonies with a budget of $45 million. In 2006, their common son, Barron William Trump, was born.
Donald Trump now. Impeachment
Since the early days of Donald Trump's presidency, there has been talk of impeachment among Democrats. Several attempts were made, but the House of Representatives (the lower house of the US Congress) was under the control of the Republican Party, so they did not go beyond the vote.Everything changed when, in the December 2018 elections, exactly in the middle of Trump's presidency, the House of Representatives was completely re-elected, and the Democrats won the majority. Opponents of the president got the opportunity to launch a new anti-corruption investigation against Trump.
Even before the December election, Michael Cohen, Trump's attorney, admitted to lying to a court in 2017 about Trump's intentions to build the 100-story Trump Tower in Moscow City. He previously claimed that Trump had no such thoughts, but according to new data, the billionaire wanted to build a skyscraper, but changed his mind around June 2016. This was the reason for new accusations of the politician in connection with Russia. A growing number of Democrats began to demand from the speaker of the House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, to impeach Trump.
But in the end, the so-called "Ukrainegate", by analogy with the "Watergate", which destroyed the political career of President Richard Nixon, got the reason for impeachment. Trump was accused of putting pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for two months (from May to September 2019). Trump wanted to get dirt on Joe Biden (potentially his main competitor in the upcoming presidential election), and in return promised Ukraine financial and military assistance.
Zelensky was required to assist in the investigation of the corrupt activities of Biden's son, Hunter, who from 2014 to 2015 served on the board of directors of the Burisma gas production company operating in Ukraine.
The fact of pressure on Zelensky was reported by the US intelligence service, and the White House tried to hide this moment from Congress, contrary to the current legislation. On September 24, 2019, Nancy Pelosi announced the launch of an investigation, and on October 31, Donald Trump was officially impeached. Two weeks later, public hearings began. The presidential administration has banned White House staff from assisting Congress. Donald Trump responds to all accusations on his Twitter:
American businessman, Republican presidential candidate Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946 in the Queens area of New York, USA. His father, Frederick Trump, was a builder, a real estate developer who specialized in the design and implementation of middle-class housing projects in the Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn areas.
At the age of 13, his parents sent Donald to the New York Military Academy. At the academy, Trump achieved great success: by the time he graduated in 1964, he had become a brilliant athlete and leader among students. After that, Donald entered Fordham University, but soon transferred to the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1968.
After graduating from university, Donald began working in his father's company, in 1975 he became its president and changed the name of the company to Trump Organization.

In 1971, Trump moved the company's office to Manhattan. One of Trump's first independent projects was the construction of a business center on a piece of land from the bankrupt Central Railroad in the western part of Manhattan.
In 1974, Trump purchased one of the Penn Central hotels, the Commodore, which was unprofitable but had a good location in close proximity to Grand Central Station in New York. In 1975, Trump signed a partnership agreement with the Hyatt Hotel Corporation. When the new hotel, renamed The Grand Hyatt, opened in 1980, it immediately gained widespread popularity. Donald Trump's next project made him famous throughout New York - it was the 58-story skyscraper Trump Tower on 5th Avenue, opened in 1982.
Subsequently, the businessman continued to call his further projects by his own name: Trump Parc, Trump Palace, Trump Plaza, The Trump World Tower and Trump Park Avenue, Trump International Hotel & Tower, The Trump Building and others.

Biography of Donald Trump
The biography of Donald Trump takes its beginning in June 1946, in the city of New York. There were five children in his family, two of whom are brothers, two sisters and the hero of our article himself. From childhood, parents observed in him manifestations of a tough and assertive person. In order to properly direct all this energy, he was sent to study at the Military Academy. While in it, he established himself as a disciplined and successful student. It is impossible not to note his sporting success. Such data touched the parents, and they began to be proud of him and set him as an example to other children.
Donald graduated from this academy in 1964 and began studying at Fordham University. Some time later, he begins training at the Wharton Business School. He graduated from this educational institution in 1968, and the father decides to take his son into the family business. Trump liked this development and wanted to add to his father's fortune.
Thus, he immediately gets a project to build an entire residential complex, which is located in Ohio. It is noteworthy that the construction took only a year, and the profit received twice covered all costs. A good start to a young Trump's career.
By acquiring new connections, he gets the right to restore the dilapidated Commodore Hotel. The total amount that the young entrepreneur managed to achieve is about $70 million. The only condition is the complete restoration of the area to its proper form.
It took six years for the corporation to restore Manhattan and some of the neighborhoods adjacent to it, at the head of which was the aforementioned hotel. In 1996, Hyatt buys some of the hotel, adding $140 million to the budget of the future president.
Then, in 1979, he took a closer look at an uninhabited site located near one of the most popular jewelry stores. The businessman himself notes that this place seemed to him very tempting for the rich. And he did not fail. Within a few years, a building appeared there, which, with its height, blocked all the seemingly tall buildings on Fifth Avenue. This project brought Donald a profit of two hundred million dollars. Important is the fact that all the apartments in this building were purchased in a few weeks.
1977 was marked by the legalization of gambling in the state of New Jersey. Of course, the businessman did not want to miss such a "gold mine" and after 5 years, a hotel and entertainment complex appeared from scratch, which was called "Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino". Its construction cost US$251 million. After another 4 years, the "Trump Castle" opens, costing 300 million. The construction of the Taj Mahal began immediately, which becomes the largest hotel-casino and opens in 1990.
The beginning of the 1990s was marked by the fact that the businessman's fortune was estimated at $1 billion. In addition to the hotels that belonged to him, he had a casino, residential skyscrapers, an airline, a football team. And small enterprises did not give in to the account at all. As it turns out, Donald is losing control of such an incredible business.
The real estate crisis meant that Donald Trump owed far more than he had in his budget. To avoid going bankrupt, he mortgages his Trump Tower apartment complex. Of course, the press did not stand aside, and every step of the future president remained under criticism.
Persistence helped him, and by 1997 he had paid off all his debts, some of which were covered by casinos and other gambling establishments.
However, already in the 2000s, the crisis repeats, and this forces Donald to end his career as chairman of the board of directors in his corporation.
After that, he often began to appear on television - as a TV presenter or cameo, the most famous of which is "Home Alone 2". 2007 replenishes the Walk of Fame with a star in honor of Donald Trump.
After almost 10 years, he participates in the presidential elections. Long debate and rivalry with Hillary Clinton leads to the fact that he wins. US President Donald Trump was elected to this post on January 20, 2017. By the way, he belongs to the Republican Party.

Business
Let's start our consideration of the key facts from the biography of Donald Trump by studying the history of the emergence of his business empire.
Trump met big business when he started working as a student at Elizabeth Trump and Son, founded by his grandmother and father in 1923. This firm specialized in mid-range real estate transactions located in various areas of New York.
Subsequently, the family corporation was renamed The Trump Organization. In 1972, the future tycoon made the first multi-million dollar deal in the real estate market, participating in the sale of a respectable residential complex in Cincinnati (Ohio).

Mostly, Trump was engaged in real estate activities until the end of the 1980s. But, along with this type of commerce, the entrepreneur also masters the gambling business. Having entered into a partnership deal with the Holiday Inn Corporation, which owned the Harrah's hotel-casino chain, in 1984 Donald built the $250 million Harrah's at Trump Plaza hotel complex.
Later, the entrepreneur buys out a share in the project in full, after which the complex is renamed the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. In 1985, Trump opened another major complex, Trump's Castle in Atlantic City, worth $320 million.
In 1989, the businessman acquires several as a fleet for his own Trump Shuttle airline, which is present on the market until 1992, when the rights to it began to be transferred to US Airways in the course of a chain of transactions (the airline's assets were completely bought out by US Airways in 2000).
In 1990, the entrepreneur opens another casino - Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. Trump subsequently concentrates this facility and other major assets in the jurisdiction of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, registered in 1995.

In the mid-90s, the media business began to play an important role in Trump's activities. In 1996, the American buys the rights to organize the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Junior Miss USA contests. The businessman owns these show business brands until 2015.
In 2003, the entrepreneur becomes an NBC channel partner and becomes the producer of the reality show "The Apprentice" (The Apprentice), which becomes an extremely successful project. Its continuation is the new show The Celebrity Apprentice.
In 2004, difficult times come for Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts: the company goes bankrupt, but soon exits it, however, under a different name - Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings. In February 2016, this corporation is bought out by Icahn Enterprises.
The Trump Organizations continues to be the main business of the 45th President of the United States. The total value of the assets of this corporation, according to Forbes, is about 4.5 billion US dollars.
Donald Trump remains the owner of The Trump Organization even after taking office as the head of the American state. He delegated key positions in the company's management system to his sons Donald, Eric and the financial director of The Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg.
Political career
The first thoughts about a possible participation in the US presidential election were voiced by Trump during the 2000 election campaign. In the sources of Trump's biography in Russian, very little is known about the entrepreneur's involvement in earlier significant political processes. The businessman ran in the California primary in the 2000 campaign, but voter turnout was low and he put off actively engaging in a political career.
Until 2010, with varying degrees of intensity, entrepreneurs participated in political processes both on the side of the Democrats and on the side of the Republicans. In 2010-2012, Donald publicly announced his desire to participate in the presidential election. He began to become active in the foreign policy arena, supporting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the 2013 elections.
In the 2016 campaign, Trump managed to become the main candidate for the presidency of the United States from the Republican Party. In November 2016, he defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In January 2017, he officially took office as the head of the American state.

Donald Trump is 71 in 2017.
The results of the US presidential election shocked not only America, but the whole world. Donald Trump is the 45th President. This outstanding person achieved great success in various fields of activity. He has always been famous for his business acumen, strong character and determination. He considers himself a workaholic and careerist.
Childhood and youth of the future president
The boy was born in the family of a millionaire. His father Fred earned a decent fortune throughout his life (about $ 20 million), being mainly engaged in construction. The couple had three children. But only Donald followed in his father's footsteps, preserving and multiplying the family fortune at times.
From early childhood, he stood out for his expressive character, assertiveness, and, at times, even aggression. In adolescence, these qualities only took root. Due to problems with peers at school, the parents sent the guy to the military academy.
According to Trump, there he found the use of his unbridled energy and difficult character. He directed his pronounced leadership qualities and managerial abilities in the right direction, learned to win in the face of fierce competition.
Trump does not drink alcohol at all. This fact is associated with the death of his younger brother from alcoholism. He is also indifferent to tea and coffee, but loves sweets very much.
After graduating from the New York Academy, Donald continued his education at Fordham College, but, without graduating, he decided to change direction in life and entered the University of Commerce. He was attracted by two paths - a career in cinema and doing business. But, Trump realized in time that building houses was a more profitable occupation and decided to follow in his father's footsteps.
Starting a career in business
Translated from English "trump" is a trump card or trump card. Donald considers his name to be a talisman, is not afraid to take risks and confidently lives up to his reputation as a lucky person.
He adopted many business qualities from his father. I learned how to manage personnel, conduct business and negotiate, got the necessary contacts and profitable government orders for the construction of large facilities. He got his first work experience in a family company.
Over time, views on the conduct of Trump Jr. and the elder began to diverge. While his father was focused on construction for the middle class of the population all his life, the younger one wanted to work only with the powerful of this world. Donald has always been attracted to everything chic and expensive.
The first ambitious project in the father's company is the construction of the luxurious Grand Hyatt hotel, the second is the Trump Tower skyscraper. This approach to business quickly bore fruit, over time, the name "Trump" has become a brand. Under it, not only large facilities were built, but also perfumes, alcoholic beverages were produced, casinos, golf clubs were opened, and television programs were created. The Trump brand was associated with success, luxury and beauty. Many businessmen bought from Trump the right to sell their products under his name, which, with the appropriation of the famous brand, rose in price significantly.
Throughout his time in business, Trump went bankrupt several times, but managed to take out huge amounts of money on credit, and always paid off. He not only renewed his well-being, but also multiplied it at times.
Trump's achievements in the political sphere
Throughout his life, the businessman often changed his political position. But after 2000 began to support the Republican views.
In various years, he actively and boldly criticized the policies of George W. Bush, then Barack Obama. In 2007, he made a statement on television that he would support Rudolph Giuliani and Hillary Clinton in the next election if they run.
It is not known for sure that the harsh statements came from personal dislike for the heads of state, in order to draw attention to his person, or indeed, the billionaire had his own vision for the strategy of governing the country.
The future 45th president has repeatedly stated that he wants to live his life in such a way that he would leave a bright mark on the history of the United States, and maybe the world. He claims that he seriously thought about a political career when he decided to take part in the elections. Given the eccentricity, incredible temperament and character of Trump, with this statement he surprised even his inner circle. Until recently, the billionaire claimed that he was more attracted to business.
The candidate's statement, "I will be the greatest president God ever created," seemed so ambitious and unrealistic that not only competitors, but also colleagues did not take him seriously.
According to all sociological polls and forecasts of political scientists, Hillary Clinton's chances of winning were much greater than those of the eccentric billionaire. Despite how old Donald Trump is, on November 19, 2016, according to the vote count, he won a landslide victory.
Trump has been called the oldest president of the United States. Prior to this, the "title" was with Reagan.
