About the author

Born in Queens, New York, on June 14, 1946, Donald Trump built his public profile through his family's real estate business and later through high-visibility projects in Manhattan and beyond. Over time, his name became closely tied to luxury branding, hotels, golf properties, and celebrity culture, especially after he hosted the reality TV show The Apprentice.

He entered national politics after years of public speculation about a presidential run and won the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021, then returned to office in 2025 as the 47th president, making him one of the few presidents to serve nonconsecutive terms.

Trump remains a defining figure in American public life, drawing intense loyalty from supporters and strong opposition from critics. Books about him often explore not only his political career, but also the long arc of his business ambitions, media instincts, and lasting influence on the Republican Party and the country.
