Donald J. Trump
The 45th and 47th President of the United States.
The first president since Grover Cleveland to win two non-consecutive terms.
Born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, Donald John Trump graduated from the Wharton School and built the Trump Organization into a global brand in real estate, hospitality and entertainment, reaching millions of Americans as host of The Apprentice. In 2016, as a political outsider, he defeated Hillary Clinton and served as the 45th President from 2017 to 2021.
After losing the 2020 election, he never left the fight. In 2024 he won all seven swing states and the national popular vote, and on January 20, 2025, he was sworn in as the 47th President — the first since Grover Cleveland to serve two non-consecutive terms.
Builder, Dealmaker, Household Name
After graduating from Wharton in 1968, he joined his father's company and renamed it the Trump Organization. He transformed the bankrupt Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt (1980), built Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue (1983) and wrote the bestseller "The Art of the Deal" (1987). From 2004 to 2015 he hosted NBC's "The Apprentice", making "You're fired!" a household phrase.
The Road to the White House
On June 16, 2015, he rode down the escalator at Trump Tower and announced his candidacy. On November 8, 2016, he defeated Hillary Clinton with 304 electoral votes. After the 2020 election he announced his comeback on November 15, 2022. On July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, he survived an assassin's bullet, rose with his fist in the air and called out "Fight, fight, fight!" On November 5, 2024, he won 312 electoral votes, all seven swing states and the popular vote.

Within months, illegal border crossings fell to the lowest levels ever recorded, and the One Big Beautiful Bill made the largest tax cuts in American history permanent.
The Trump Family
For Donald Trump, family has always come first — in business, on the campaign trail and in the White House. His children run the company he built, campaign at his side and carry the America First movement into the next generation.
Fred Trump (1905–1999) & Mary Anne MacLeod Trump (1912–2000)
Fred built thousands of homes for working families in Queens and Brooklyn; Mary Anne emigrated from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. They raised five children — Maryanne, Fred Jr., Elizabeth, Donald and Robert — and taught them that hard work comes first.

The Family & the Future of the GOP
No family has shaped the modern Republican Party like the Trumps. Lara Trump helped lead the RNC to victory in 2024, Donald Trump Jr. is one of the movement's most influential voices, and the next generation is already on the national stage. Whoever carries the America First banner after 2028, the Trump family will remain at the heart of the party.
