Trump’s business career began in the family’s real-estate enterprise, with projects in New York City and later other markets. The Trump Organization has operated in real estate, hotels, golf courses, and licensing. His public profile expanded through books and television, particularly The Apprentice. Trump entered electoral politics as a Republican candidate in 2015. He won the 2016 presidential election and served from 2017 through 2021. After the 2020 election, he continued to contest the result; courts and election officials rejected claims that the outcome was changed by widespread fraud. He won the 2024 election and began a second, non-consecutive term in January 2025.

Ideology

Trump’s political agenda has prominently included immigration restriction and border enforcement, tax and regulatory changes, trade protection measures, energy production, and an “America First” approach to foreign policy. His positions and administration actions have been subjects of public debate, litigation, and differing interpretations among political parties, scholars, and advocacy groups.
