Donald John Trump is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who currently serves as the 47th President of the United States.
A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021. This makes him one of only two presidents in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms.
Before entering politics, Trump was primarily known for his extensive real estate career, where he led the Trump Organization, developing skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses worldwide.
