'''Donald John Trump''' (b. [[Queens]], [[New York]], on [[Donald Trump's age|June 14, 1946]]), nicknamed "'''The Donald'''," is the 45th [[President of the United States of America]], as a result of winning the [[2016 presidential election]] as the [[Republican Party]] nominee. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and [[television]] personality. A strong [[conservative]], Trump has [[Donald Trump achievements|achieved much during his presidency]] and advanced many conservative priorities. Despite this, he has received more criticism than any U.S. President in history, almost all of which is purely politically motivated.

Born and raised in [[Queens]], New York City, Trump attended [[Fordham University]] for two years and received a [[bachelor's degree]] in economics from the [[Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania]]. He became president of his father [[Fred Trump]]'s [[real estate]] business in 1971, renamed it [[The Trump Organization]], and expanded its operations to building or renovating skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started [[The Trump Organization#Other ventures and investments|various side ventures]], mostly by licensing his name. Trump and his businesses have been involved in more than 4,000 state and federal [[Legal affairs of Donald Trump|legal actions]], including six bankruptcies. He owned the [[Miss Universe]] brand of [[beauty pageant]]s from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted the [[reality television]] series ''[[The Apprentice (American TV series)|The Apprentice]]'' from 2004 to 2015.

In the [[United States presidential election, 2020|2020 presidential election]], Trump received a record-smashing 73+ million lawful votes, many in the key [[swing states]]. This confirms him as the leader of the [[Republican Party]], indeed the entire nation, for the foreseeable future.

[[Political positions of Donald Trump|Trump's political positions]] have been described as [[populist]], [[protectionist]], [[isolationist]], and [[nationalist]]. He entered the [[2016 United States presidential election|2016 presidential race]] as a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] and was elected in a surprise [[United States Electoral College|electoral college]] victory over [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] nominee [[Hillary Clinton]] while [[List of United States presidential elections in which the winner lost the popular vote|losing the popular vote]].{{efn|name=electoral-college|Presidential elections in the United States are decided by the [[United States Electoral College|Electoral College]].

A [[Special Counsel investigation (2017–2019)|special counsel investigation]] led by [[Robert Mueller]] found that Trump and his campaign benefited from [[Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections|Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election]], but did not find sufficient evidence to press charges of [[criminal conspiracy]] or coordination with Russia.{{efn|name=coordination|Mueller, Robert (March 2019). [https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf "Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election"]. '''I'''. p. 2. "In connection with that analysis, we addressed the factual question whether members of the Trump Campaign 'coordinat[ed]'{{snd}}a term that appears in the appointment order{{snd}}with Russian election interference activities. Like collusion, 'coordination' does not have a settled definition in federal criminal law. We understood coordination to require an agreement{{snd}}tacit or express{{snd}}between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference. That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other's actions or interests. We applied the term coordination in that sense when stating in the report that the investigation did not establish that the Trump Campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities." }} Mueller also investigated Trump for [[obstruction of justice]], and [[Mueller Report|his report]] neither indicted nor exonerated Trump on that offense. After Trump [[Trump–Ukraine scandal|solicited Ukraine to investigate]] his political rival [[Joe Biden]], the House of Representatives [[Impeachment of Donald Trump|impeached him]] in December 2019 for [[abuse of power]] and [[obstruction of Congress]]. The Senate [[Impeachment trial of Donald Trump|acquitted him]] of both charges in February 2020.
