00:00Donald John Trump is one of the most widely recognized and controversial figures in modern
00:05American history. Born in Queens, New York in the year 1946, he grew up as the fourth of five
00:12children in the wealthy Trump family. His father, Fred Trump, was a successful real estate developer
00:18who specialized in building and managing housing in New York City. Donald inherited both his
00:24father's ambition and his strong interest in business, but he also cultivated a personal
00:29flair for publicity that would later define his career. From an early age, Trump was known for his
00:36energy and competitiveness. He attended the New York Military Academy, where his parents hoped he
00:42would learn discipline. Later, he studied at Fordham University before transferring to the Wharton
00:47School of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with a degree in economics in 1968. His education
00:55was focused on finance and real estate. But more than the coursework, Trump absorbed the lessons of
01:01showmanship and the value of building a personal brand. After joining his father's company, he expanded
01:08the Trump Organization into Manhattan, developing high-profile projects such as the Grand Hyatt Hotel
01:14and the iconic Trump Tower, which opened in 1983. These projects established Trump as a bold developer who was not
01:23afraid to borrow heavily and take large risks. His distinctive style included attaching the Trump name to buildings,
01:30casinos, and later a variety of consumer products. By the 1980s, he had become a fixture in the American
01:38media landscape, known both for his real estate ventures and his flamboyant lifestyle.
01:44Trump's career, however, was not without setbacks. In the early 1990s, his businesses faced severe
01:51financial difficulties due to over-leveraging and a downturn in the real estate market.
01:57Several of his casinos in Atlantic City declared bankruptcy and Trump himself narrowly avoided
02:03personal financial collapse. Yet he managed to reinvent his image, emphasizing his resilience
02:09and portraying himself as a fighter who always came back stronger. By the 2000s, Trump had become
02:14more of a media celebrity than a real estate developer. He launched the reality television show
02:20The Apprentice in 2004, where contestants competed for apposition within the Trump Organization.
02:27The show popularized his catchphrase,
02:30You're fired, and cemented his reputation as a tough and decisive businessman.
02:35For over a decade, Trump used the program to showcase his personality,
02:40and millions of viewers came to know him as a developer and more as an icon of business entertainment.
02:46Parallel to his media career, Trump flirted with politics.
02:51Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, he occasionally commented on public affairs,
02:57criticized political leaders, and hinted at possible runs for office.
03:02He switched party affiliations multiple times, moving between the Republican Party,
03:07the Democratic Party, and even considering the Reform Party.
03:11Yet few took his political ambitions seriously until he announced his candidacy for President of the
03:17United States in June 2015. At first, many observers dismissed his campaign as a publicity stunt.
03:25Yet Trump tapped into widespread dissatisfaction with traditional politics.
03:30His slogan, Make America Great Again, resonated with millions of voters who felt left behind by
03:37globalization and demographic change. He promised to bring back manufacturing jobs,
03:44crack down on illegal immigration, and adopt an America-first foreign policy.
03:49His blunt speaking style, frequent use of social media, and willingness to attack opponents directly,
03:56set him apart from more conventional politicians. Against the expectations of political experts,
04:03Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016, and faced Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee in the
04:10general election. The campaign was bitter and polarizing, filled with controversies,
04:15including leaked emails, debates over immigration policy, and accusations regarding Trump's behavior and past
04:22statements. Nevertheless, in November 2016, Trump secured an upset victory by winning key states such as
04:31Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, even though he lost the nationwide popular vote to Clinton.
04:37Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States on January 20th, 2017.
04:45His presidency was marked by constant turbulence, strong partisan division, and an unprecedented use of
04:51Twitter as a direct communication channel with the public. He pursued tax cuts, rolled back environmental
04:58regulations, appointed conservative judges, and emphasized stricter immigration controls.
05:03On the international stage, he withdrew the United States from several agreements, including the Paris
05:10Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal, while pursuing negotiations with North Korea. Trump's critics
05:17accused him of undermining democratic norms, attacking the press, and using divisive rhetoric that deepened
05:23national polarization. His supporters, on the other hand, praised him for challenging political elites,
05:30revitalizing the economy before the pandemic, and reshaping the federal judiciary.
05:36The defining crisis of his presidency came in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic.
05:43Initially downplaying the threat, Trump later supported therapy development of vaccines through Operation Warp Speed.
05:50However, his communication style and clashes with public health officials fueled controversy.
05:55The pandemic, combined with widespread protests over racial justice following the death of George Floyd,
06:03created one of the most volatile years in modern American history.
06:07In the 2020 presidential election, Trump ran for re-election against Democrat Joe Biden.
06:14The campaign was dominated by debates over the pandemic response, the economy, and national unity.
06:20Biden won the election with a significant margin in the popular vote and secured enough electoral
06:26college votes to claim victory. Trump, however, refused to concede, alleging widespread voter fraud
06:33without providing conclusive evidence. His claims were rejected by courts and election officials across
06:39the country. The dispute reached a climax on January 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the
06:48United States Capitol as Congress was certifying Biden's victory. The incident shocked the nation and
06:54led to Trump's second impeachment by the House of Representatives, making him the only president
06:59in American history to be impeached twice. The Senate acquitted him both times. After leaving office,
07:07Trump remained a dominant figure in American politics. He continued to hold rallies, endorse candidates,
07:14and shaped the direction of the Republican Party. His influence is seen in the continued loyalty of
07:19a large portion of the Republican voter base, even as some party leaders have tried to distance themselves.
07:26In November 2022, Trump announced that he would once again run for president in the 2024 election,
07:34making him a rare figure in American politics seeking non-consecutive terms.
07:38His candidacy set up a potential rematch with Joe Biden and guaranteed that his presence would
07:44continue to dominate national debate. Beyond politics, Trump's legacy includes his impact
07:51on media and culture. He pioneered the use of social platforms like Twitter to bypass traditional
07:57journalism and speak directly to supporters. He has also faced ongoing legal investigations regarding
08:05his business practices, tax filings, and handling of classified documents after leaving office.
08:11These legal challenges may shape how history ultimately remembers him.
08:16Trump's story is also about transformation. From a real estate developer in New York,
08:22to a television celebrity, and finally to the most powerful political office in the world,
08:27his journey illustrates both the volatility of American politics and the enduring appeal of strong
08:33personalities. He embodies themes of risk, resilience, and reinvention, while also highlighting the dangers
08:40of polarization and populism. His supporters see him as a champion of the common people, someone unafraid
08:47to challenge entrenched interests and elites. His critics see him as a threat to institutions and norms,
08:55someone whose style and rhetoric have harmed the democratic fabric of the country. Both perspectives
09:01underscore the central fact that Donald Trump has left an indelible mark on the United States.
09:07Whether one admires or despises him, it is undeniable that Trump's influence will be studied by
09:12historians, political scientists, and journalists for decades to come. His legacy, still unfolding,
09:20may ultimately be defined by the outcome of future elections, the results of legal cases,
09:26and the broader trajectory of the American political landscape.
