In the weeks between his big electoral win and his swearing-in as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump gave everyone a taste of what to expect from his second term. He suggested ideas like making Canada the 51st state, controlling Greenland and the Panama Canal, and even changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. People around the world are getting ready for another wild four years with Trump, who at 78 years old is the oldest person ever to be elected president.
Trump is also the first former president to be a convicted felon after his scandals during the 2020 and 2024 elections. He lost to Joe Biden in 2020 but came back strong, winning again in 2024 despite facing legal troubles. In 2020, his supporters stormed the US Capitol trying to overturn the election results, which shocked the nation. This time, he faced several indictments but still managed to win the presidency again.
Just before taking the oath, Trump was sentenced in a hush money case but received no punishment. He continues to have strong support from many people who agree with his ideas, especially about the economy and immigration. During the Republican National Convention, he showed up with a bandaged ear after surviving an assassination attempt, demonstrating his resilience.
Born in Queens, New York, Trump grew up in a successful family and earned a degree in finance. He took over his father’s business and became famous not just for real estate but also through a reality TV show, ‘The Apprentice’.
He has been married three times: first to Ivana, then to Marla, and now to Melania, with whom he has a son named Barron. Trump’s presidency has drawn a lot of attention, especially during the 2024 election focusing on issues like the economy and immigration.
Trump has promised to fix immigration by completing the southern border wall, and he plans to start deportation raids right after he takes office. He also wants to drive down inflation and end the war between Russia and Ukraine, promising peace and better deals for everyone. The next four years will show not only how the US solves its problems but also how it interacts with the rest of the world. Everyone is watching carefully.
