President Donald J. Trump is returning to the White House as the 47th president to build upon his previous successes, unleash the American economy, and afford all Americans the opportunity to pursue their versions of the American dream.
In his first administration, as America’s 45th president, Trump achieved U.S. energy independence, launched the Space Force, achieved a major breakthrough for Middle East peace and secured U.S. borders.
Trump won the presidency following his first campaign for any public office, and his public service builds on his successes in private life. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance, Trump followed in his father’s footsteps into real estate development, making his mark in New York City. He believes in the exceptionalism of the American spirit and wants to see the United States succeed.
An accomplished author, Trump has written numerous bestsellers. His first book, The Art of the Deal, is considered a business classic. He has five children: Barron, Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany, as well as 10 grandchildren.
