Realty baron to reality TV star
Trump's transition from businessman to television personality came with the reality show "The Apprentice," where he introduced himself to viewers with a statement that would become synonymous with his public persona: "My name is Donald Trump and I’m the largest real estate developer in New York. I own buildings all over the place. I’ve mastered the art of the deal and turned the name Trump into the highest-quality brand." Many believe this show played a significant role in shaping his image and ultimately paved the way for his entry into politics.

Controversy's favourite child
Oct 2016 - A video emerged showing Donald Trump making controversial comments about women. “When you’re a star… you can do anything,” Trump said in the video. He then described grabbing women by the genitals.
Trump dismissed the video as “locker-room talk.” However, multiple women subsequently accused him of sexual harassment.
As president, Trump broke with tradition and refused to release his tax returns. He cited an ongoing audit as the reason.
The New York Times published a report in 2020 about Trump's taxes. The report stated that Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017. It also claimed that he paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the previous 15 years. According to the report, Trump achieved this by claiming business losses that offset his income.
His presidency too was not without controversy, as Trump faced two impeachment trials and numerous allegations of misconduct. Despite these challenges, Trump retained a loyal base of supporters who resonated with his "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) message.
Trump's return to the presidency comes after a tumultuous period in American politics. He has vowed to "restore America to greatness," echoing the campaign slogan that defined his previous run for office. His second term is sure to be closely watched as he navigates the complexities of a nation grappling with internal divisions and global challenges.
