Fecha de nacimiento: 14. Junio 1946
Donald Trump es un político y empresario estadounidense, precandidato del Partido Republicano para las elecciones presidenciales de 2016. Es presidente de la Trump Organization y fundador de la empresa de hotel y juegos de azar Trump Entertainment Resorts, que es ahora propiedad de Carl Icahn. Trump es una celebridad televisiva; fue el presentador del reality show The Apprentice, de la NBC, entre 2004 y 2015.
Es hijo de un empresario inmobiliario de Nueva York, en cuya compañía, Elizabeth Trump & Son, trabajó mientras estudiaba en la Escuela de Negocios Wharton de la Universidad de Pensilvania. En 1968, se unió oficialmente a esa sociedad, que controla desde 1971, cuando la renombró Trump Organization. En los años 1990 la empresa entró en bancarrota comercial, pero en la década siguiente se recuperó, lo que le reportó una fortuna de varios miles de millones de dólares.
Su campaña para obtener la candidatura republicana a la Casa Blanca para las elecciones de 2016 se vio caracterizada desde su inicio por una gran atención mediática a nivel nacional e internacional debido a la sucesión de declaraciones polémicas por parte de Trump. Sus propuestas más repetidas consisten en la construcción de un muro a lo largo de la frontera con México y una política dura contra la inmigración ilegal. En lo económico, aboga por modificar la política comercial del país y fortalecer la producción nacional en detrimento de la deslocalización, en consonancia con posiciones proteccionistas.

2010s, 2015, Context: We are losing a lot of people to the Internet. We have to do something. We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what’s happening. We have to talk to them [about], maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way. Some people will say, ‘Freedom of speech, Freedom of speech’. These are foolish people.

2010s, 2016, January, Context: The people, my people, are so smart, and you know what they say about my people? The polls. They say I have the most loyal people — did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters. It's like incredible. No, they say, "Trump we love you too." Trump's voters are by far, ya know, I'm at sixty-eight and sixty-nine percent, I'm at ninety percent, total, like, "Will you say absolutely?" I think it's sixty-eight and sixty-nine percent. "Will you most likely stay?" That gets into the nineties. Other guys like a ten. A guy like Jeb Bush, he has a nobody, but he's like, they don't have people. They have nothing. Rubio, soft. They're all soft. My people stay, by the way, Cruz, soft. When they heard about this thing with that he was bordering Canada, nobody knew them? He lost a lot of people! He's gone down big in the polls. Ted Cruz has gone down big in the polls. That doesn't mean he's giving us a fight in Iowa, that doesn't mean you can stay home, okay, see, you with the smile? It doesn't mean that. You gotta go out cause we can't take any chances.

2000s, Context: My life is seeing everything in terms of "How would I handle that?" Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we're in. I would never have handled it that way. Does anybody really believe that Iraq is going to be a wonderful democracy where people are going to run down to the voting box and gently put in their ballot and the winner is happily going to step up to lead the county? C'mon. Two minutes after we leave, there's going to be a revolution, and the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And he'll have weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam didn't have. What was the purpose of this whole thing? Hundreds and hundreds of young people killed. And what about the people coming back with no arms and legs? Not to mention the other side. All those Iraqi kids who've been blown to pieces. And it turns out that all of the reasons for the war were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing!
