Before becoming the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump had a diverse career primarily in real estate and entertainment. He started by working for his father’s real estate development firm, E. Trump & Son, which he later took over in the 1970s, expanding it significantly with high-profile properties like the Grand Hyatt New York and Trump Tower. Trump also gained widespread fame as the host of the reality TV show “The Apprentice” from 2004 to 2015, popularizing the phrase “You’re fired!” Additionally, he authored several books, including the bestseller “The Art of the Deal,” and was involved in various ventures such as owning an airline, a professional football team, and numerous branding deals. His career was marked by both significant successes and controversies, including multiple bankruptcies related to his casino businesses.
