Donald John Trump

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States, in office since 2017. He is the winner of the 2024 US presidential election, in which he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris. In so doing, he became the first president since Grover Cleveland to be elected to two nonconsecutive terms.Trump is the first president convicted of a felony to become president-elect, and also the oldest person elected to the office in US history, at the age of 78.

On May 30, 2024, Trump was found guilty by a state jury in New York on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a 2016 hush-money payment to adult-film star Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels, who claimed to have had an affair with Trump in 2006. He was also indicted on dozens of state and federal charges in two cases related primarily to his efforts after his 2020 election defeat to overturn the vote and to his removal of numerous classified documents from the White House when he left office. After Trump’s 2022 reelection victory, federal special counsel Jack Smith—which two separate criminal cases against Trump—sought the dismissal of the election-related charges, in addition to having Trump removed from a list of co-defendants in the classified-documents case; Smith’s actions conformed to Justice Department policy prohibiting criminal charges for a sitting president.

Trump was held liable for business fraud in a major civil fraud case in New York state and in two civil cases alleging sexual abuse and defamation against E. Jean Carroll.

Trump is the third president in U.S. history (after Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998) to be impeached by the House of Representatives, and he is the only president to be impeached twice—first in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for his efforts to coerce Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son, and second in 2021 for “incitement of insurrection” in connection with the January 6, 2021, pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol. Both of Trump’s impeachments ended in his acquittal by the Senate.

After the Republicans’ 2022 midterm victories gave Trump the numbers he needed to secure the party’s nomination, he won the primary election of early 2024. Trump had long been the front-runner despite the steady progress of a number of criminal cases against him, and he won the necessary number of primary delegates before the final primary votes were counted. Some Republican leaders worried that the prospect of a criminal trial (or trials) could do irreparable harm to Trump’s appeal to moderate Republican and independent voters. Other Trump allies, however, predicted that Trump’s court appearances would only solidify the candidate’s base: Trump, they argued, would cast himself as a victim of Democrats’ “witch hunt” and “hoax.”

Trump has been a real-estate developer and businessman. He has owned, managed, or licensed his family name to hotels, casinos, golf courses, resorts, and residential properties in the New York City area and around the world. Since the 1980s Trump has licensed his name to numerous retail operations—including lines of clothing, cologne, food, and furniture. In the early 21st century his private conglomerate, the Trump Organization, comprised some 500 companies involved in a wide range of businesses, including hotels and resorts, residential properties, licensing of merchandise, and entertainment and television.
