Donald John Trump (n.) (born June 14, 1946) 唐納･約翰･川普（英語：Donald John Trump [註 3]，1946年6月14日－）是美國企業家、電視名人、政治家和現任美國總統。他生於紐約市皇后區，為川普集團前任董事長兼總裁及川普娛樂公司的創辦人，在全世界經營房地產、賭場和酒店（就任美國總統後表示會把集團交給他兩名兒子小唐納·川普及艾瑞克·川普管理 [8]，只保留屬於自己的股份）。[9] 1996年至2015年間，他擁有美國小姐和環球小姐選美比賽，還在2004年至2015年間主持了NBC的一檔電視真人秀節系列節目「誰是接班人」。2017年時，《福布斯》將他列為世界上第544富有的人（美國第201），擁有35億美元的淨資產。
川普在1987年第一次公開表達對競選公職的興趣。他在2000年贏得了兩場改革黨的總統初選，但在早期就退出了競選。2015年6月，他開始了自己的2016年總統選舉活動，並迅速成為共和黨初選中17位候選人中的領先者。他最後的競選對手在2016年5月中止了競選活動，7月時他在共和黨全國黨代表大會上獲得共和黨提名為正式的總統候選人，同時由印第安納州州長邁克·彭斯作為他的競選搭檔。他的競選活動獲得了前所未有的媒體報導和國際關注。他在採訪、社交媒體，或競選集會上的部分言論頗具爭議性或是虛假的 [10]，並帶來了大量免費媒體曝光。
川普在2016年11月8日掌握過半選舉人票而贏得了大選，擊敗民主黨對手希拉蕊·柯林頓。他成為了美國歷史上最年長、最富有的總統當選人 [11] [12]，以及第一個先前沒有擔任過任何軍職或公職的人，他也是第五位獲得普選票數少於對手但當選總統的人。 [13] [14] 他的政治立場被學者和評論家描述為民粹主義、貿易保護主義和民族主義。[15] Is the 45th and current President of the United States, in office since January 20, 2017. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.
Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and earned an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He took over his family's real estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded it to involve the construction and renovation of skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump also started various side ventures, including branding and licensing his name for real estate and luxury consumer products. He managed the company until his 2017 inauguration. Trump also gained prominence in media and entertainment. He co-authored several books, including The Art of the Deal, and from 2003 to 2015 he was a producer and the host of The Apprentice, a reality television game show. Trump owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015. According to March 2018 figures by Forbes, he is the world's 766th richest person, with an estimated net worth of $3.1 billion.
Trump entered the 2016 presidential race as a Republican and defeated sixteen opponents in the primaries. Commentators described his political positions as populist, protectionist, and nationalist. His campaign received extensive free media coverage; many of his public statements were controversial or false. Trump was elected president against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton; his victory upset the expectations of polls and analysts. He became the oldest and wealthiest person ever to assume the presidency, the first without prior military or government service, and the fifth to have won the election despite losing the popular vote. His election and policies sparked numerous protests.
In domestic policy, Trump appointed Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Citing security concerns, he ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries; a revised version of the ban was implemented after legal challenges. In December 2017, he signed tax reform legislation that cut rates and eliminated the Affordable Care Act insurance mandate. In foreign policy, Trump withdrew the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact and the Paris Agreement on climate change, partially reversed the Cuban Thaw, pressured North Korea over the acceleration of their missile tests and nuclear weapons program, and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
After Trump dismissed FBI Director James Comey in 2017, the Justice Department appointed a special counsel to continue investigating links or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian government in connection with Russian interference in the 2016 elections and related matters.
