Autobiography of Donald J. Trump
Early Life
It all began on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City, when I, Donald John Trump, was born to Fred and Mary Anne Trump. My father was a tough businessman. He did an amazing job in real estate and built up a fortune. A really great guy, believe me.
I studied at the Kew-Forest School, where I learned a lot, until my folks sent me to New York Military Academy at 13. I emerged as a star athlete and student leader, I was really something.
Education and Early Career
I attended Fordham University for two years, but I transferred to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where I got a degree in Economics in 1968. I was a really smart student, you know.
After college, I entered the family business of real estate and construction. I started working on some of the biggest projects in Manhattan. It was really beautiful, folks. I transformed the bankrupt Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt and the dilapidated Wollman Rink in Central Park into a city marvel within six months. Tremendous projects.
The Trump Brand
In 1971, I took control of the family company and renamed it The Trump Organization. We built the world’s greatest buildings. The Trump Tower, the Trump Taj Mahal, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, and so many more.
I didn’t stop at real estate, though. I expanded into casinos, like the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, and I even owned the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League. The USFL was a great league, but it was ruined by a bad lawsuit. It’s true, look it up!
I believe in success. And part of that is dealing with failure. Sure, I’ve faced some financial difficulties. Some of the businesses have gone bankrupt. But I always bounce back. I’m a fighter. That’s what I do.
Reality Television Star
In 2004, I became a big television star with the hit show, The Apprentice. The show was a huge success. Everybody loved it. I mean, who can forget, “You’re fired!”? Great line. I was also an executive producer. Made a lot of money. The show was number one many times.
Presidential Run
In June 2015, I announced my candidacy for the Presidency of the United States. I ran as a Republican and won the nomination against all odds. People said it couldn’t be done, but I did it. I beat the establishment.
I won the election against Hillary Clinton in 2016. They called it the biggest upset in political history. I was an outsider, a businessman, not a politician, but I won. I was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017.
My presidency was all about “Make America Great Again.” We did some great things. We rebuilt the military, created the Space Force, cut taxes, and built that beautiful wall on the southern border. And let’s not forget about the stock market, it hit record levels.
The media was always against me. The fake news. They even impeached me twice, but I was acquitted both times. I mean, can you believe that? Twice! But that’s politics for you.
Post Presidency
After a very controversial election in 2020, I left the office. But I never stopped fighting for the American people. I launched the Office of the Former President to continue my work. It’s all about America first.
Look, I’ve had a terrific life. A lot of victories, and a few defeats. But I always come out on top. I’m a winner. That’s what I do.
Now, I can’t give you all the secrets here, you’ll have to read my books for that. But let me leave you with this. Never stop fighting. Believe in yourself. And always, always aim for greatness. It’s the Trump way.
