About this ebook
Few people don’t have an opinion of President Donald Trump; either you love him or hate him. No matter your political stripes, President Trump is a force to be reckoned with. Growing up in a wealthy New York family, Donald Trump took over his father’s real estate business and turning it into a world wide real estate empire. Wanting more recognition and to build the Trump brand, in 2004 Trump began staring in The Apprentice reality television show. Here he was able to mentor young entrepreneurs with the promise of an executive position in the Trump empire while at the same time show-casing his many properties.
In 2015, Donald Trump decided to take the plunge and run for the highest office in the land, the presidency of the United States. After his announcement, few political pundits gave Trump any chance of winning the election, most thought it was a stunt to boost the sagging rating of his show The Apprentice. With support from his family and millions of Americans, Trump won a hard fought campaign against the former Senator Hillary Clinton to become the 45th President of the United States.
Once in office, Donald Trump has been anything but a passive president. Quickly taking on the sticky issues of immigration, tax reform, and health care. His policy initiatives have met with some success and some failure. His unorthodox style as president is a big change from former president Obama.
Take the time to read this short biography of Donald Trump and see his tumultuous rise to power.

Introduction
Donald Trump is definitely one the most controversial political figures on the planet at the moment. Known for years as a businessman and TV personality, he has had a meteoric rise in politics, despite numerous negative predictions. After a prolific career in real estate and the entertainment industry, he found ultimate success in politics when he won the presidency of the United States in 2016. Considering he never held a political or official administrative position, his ascension to the White House has been shockingly quick and tumultuous.
Trump’s story starts with his successful immigrant grandfather who set for the Trump family a remarkable example of entrepreneurial success, which both Trump’s father and Trump himself followed passionately. After learning business by working at the family’s real estate company, Trump pursued his own dreams of conquering Manhattan real estate. Decades later, his name appears in gold-plated letters on buildings all over the United States, and also in many other countries, such as Germany, Turkey, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia. Besides his career as a real estate developer, Trump also found success in television, as the host of the reality show The Apprentice, which provided him with the opportunity to showcase his vast empire and consolidate his brand. Charismatic and blunt, Trump found many admirers in an audience of millions of viewers. With an already-established base of fans, his transition to politics was smooth. Although for years he kept sending vague hints to the media about the possibility of running for the presidency, the results of the 2016 presidential election took the world
