Trump","person":{"biography":"##Education\n\nDonald Trump graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. The Wharton School is known for its rigorous business programs, and Trump's education provided him with knowledge in finance, real estate, and management, which he later applied in his business ventures.\n\n##Experience\n\nTrump began his professional career at his father Fred Trump's real estate company, E. Trump & Son, where he worked on residential projects in New York City. He later founded The Trump Organization, focusing on various real estate developments, including hotels, casinos, and golf courses. His prominence grew through the reality television show \"The Apprentice,\" which aired from 2004 to 2015. In 2016, Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States, serving from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021.

Family has played a significant role in his public life, with several family members actively involved in his business and political endeavors.\n\n##Personal Statement\n\nI left behind my former life because I could not sit by and watch career politicians continue bleeding this country dry and allow other nations to take advantage of us on trade, borders, foreign policy, and national defense. As President, I took on every powerful special interest, fixing globalist trade deals, ending foreign wars, securing the border, and standing up to Big Pharma and China. Together, we put America First and returned power to the American People.\n\nThe corrupt government cartel is once again destroying our country. We are a nation that has declared war on hard-working Americans. We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed, crime is rampant like never before, terrorists are invading our southern border, and the economy is in a recession. We are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom, and faith.\n\nOur populist movement to Make America Great Again is the only force on earth that will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace. I will unleash American energy, renew the Trump tax cuts, repeal stifling government regulations and stop wasteful spending.\n\nTogether, we created the greatest American economy in history and together we will do it again. We will create unprecedented opportunities for all Americans through explosive economic growth.\n\nWe can Make America Great Again by tackling lawlessness head-on, stopping the endless flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border, and reversing inflation by restoring America's prosperity.\n\n1100 S.
