Donald Trump

45th and 47th President of the United States. Trump's return in January 2025 simultaneously accelerated the US-China trade war, reshaped US-Ukraine policy, and dismantled Biden-era AI safety frameworks. His economic nationalism, transactional foreign policy and attacks on Federal Reserve independence define the 2025 geopolitical moment.

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York. He inherited and expanded his father's real estate business, building the Trump Organization into an international brand. He entered politics with his 2016 presidential campaign on a platform of immigration restriction, trade protectionism and America First foreign policy, defeating Hillary Clinton. His first term (2017–2021) was marked by the first US-China trade war, withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and JCPOA, and ultimately the January 6 Capitol riot. After his 2020 loss to Biden, he ran again in 2024, winning a second term and beginning his second inauguration on January 20, 2025.
