Donald Trump (June 14, 1946 - ) became the 45th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2017. Although he then lost a bid for re-election in 2020, he had a remarkable comeback four years later, decisively winning the Presidency again on November 5, 2024. He ran as a Republican in both elections. Trump will be only the second President in history to have two non-consecutive terms in office. Previously known as a business tycoon and reality TV star, Trump’s celebrity translated to politics in 2016 when he successfully ran for President, winning elective office for the first time.
