On November 6, 2012, Barack Obama was elected to a second term as president after defeating the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney.

Barack published his autobiography, Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, in 1995. It has been printed in 10 languages. An audiobook version, which he narrated, received a Grammy Award for best spoken-word album.

Donald Trump was born in the New York City borough of Queens on June 14, 1946. At age 13, he enrolled in the New York Military Academy, a private boarding school. He attended Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania where he earned a degree in economics.

A third generation businessman, he followed in the footsteps of his grandmother Elizabeth and father Fred in running the family’s real estate company, which he renamed The Trump Organization. He managed the business from 1971 until his 2017 inauguration as president. Trump expanded the company to include golf courses, resorts, hotels and casinos. Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy, but his hotel and casino businesses have been declared bankrupt six times between 1991 and 2009 in order to re-negotiate debt with banks and owners of stock and bonds.

In 1977, Trump married his first wife, Ivana. They had three children: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. The couple divorced in 1992, following Trump’s affair with actress Marla Maples. In October 1993, Maples gave birth to Trump’s second daughter, Tiffany. Maples and Trump were married two months later in December 1993. They divorced in 1999. In 2005, Trump married his third wife, Melania. In 2006, Melania became a United States citizen and gave birth to a their son, Barron. Melania became First Lady of the United States after Trump’s inauguration as president in January 2017.

Trump has published several books. His first in 1987 was “Trump: The Art of the Deal”, co-written by Tony Schwartz. The book reached #1 on the New York Times Best Sellers for several weeks. Trump has marketed his name on a large number of building projects some that are owned by The Trump Organization and others that are owned and operated by other people and companies. He has also licensed his name for various commercial products and services, including the NBC television series Celebrity Apprentice.

In his first year in office

Trump has reversed many of the previous administration’s policies. He appointed Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, ordered a controversial travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries and signed tax reform legislation. Trump has changed course on foreign policy by withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. He’s pressured North Korea over the acceleration of their nuclear missile program and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
