The host and coproducer of the megahit reality show  The Apprentice  presents a unique collection of golf advice. From Palmer and Player, Mickelson and Vijay to Pat Boone, Stone Phillips, and even Yogi Berra, these players, teachers, businesspeople, and celebrities will help you play better and score lower. 

Everyone who plays golf has that little nugget of information they turn to on the course. But never before has such an array of golfing advice been pulled together in one place. Donald Trump, himself an avid—and very good—golfer, asked his friends, colleagues, and playing companions to offer thoughts on everything from the mental game to the swing to putting to playing golf the right way. And golfers being what they are, none could resist sharing words of wisdom.

So here we find Vijay Singh telling us about playing simply: “You don’t need to get your golf swing by going through video cameras and stuff like that. Just kind of go out there and find yourself.” Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith talks about not overswinging: “Just learn to allow the club to do what it’s supposed to do . . . because the ball is sitting still.” Actor Michael Douglas has a specific routine to slow his tempo—he says his wife’s name, and doesn’t even think of starting to bring the club down until he gets to “Jones.” 

Taken together, these more than two hundred entries create a unique handbook, covering every aspect of the game—and ranging from the lighthearted to the deadly serious. Donald Trump’s book of advice is certain to take its place next to Harvey Penick’s  Little Red Book  as the ultimate in golf instruction.

Donald John Trump  (born June 14, 1946) is an American business magnate, billionaire, investor,[5]  socialite, author, television personality, and candidate for President of the United States  in the 2016 presidential election . He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization  and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts . Trump's career, branding efforts, personal life, wealth, and outspoken manner have helped make him very well-known.

A native of New York City, he is the son of Fred Trump , who inspired him to enter real estate development.[6] Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while studying business at Wharton , and joined the company in 1968 upon graduation.[7]  In 1971, he was given control of the company, and renamed it "The Trump Organization". He has since built a number of hotels, golf courses, and other properties in Manhattan and other cities, many of which bear his name .

He is a major figure in the American business scene and has had prominent media exposure.[8] [9] [10] [11]  His successful NBC reality show, The Apprentice , bolstered his fame. His three marriages (the first two ending in divorce) have been the subject of considerable tabloid coverage.[12]

On June 16, 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for president in the 2016 election, seeking the nomination of the Republican Party . His campaign has drawn more media coverage than all his Republican rivals combined, which has arguably bolstered his rise in the polls.[13] [14]  Free media coverage and self-financing has allowed him to eschew the super PAC  model of raising hundreds of millions dollars. Since July 2015 he has consistently been the front-runner in public opinion polls for the Republican Party nomination, and frequently touts his high poll numbers.[15] [16] [17] [18] [19]

According to the orthodox conservative National Review , Trump runs on a highly populist  platform that appeals to the concerns of working-class voters who feel displaced by job losses and changes to America's ethnic and religious demographics.[20]  He has made his opposition to political correctness  and willingness to "tell it like it is" a major component of his style.[21]  Trump's anti-illegal-immigration  politics have earned him support among working-class voters amid widespread opposition from Hispanics, business leaders, and other Republicans.[22] [23] [24] [25]  Trump has also focused on responding to terrorism concerns and has advocated for a temporary ban on entry by Muslims into the United States unless they are U.S. citizens, until better screening methods are devised.[26] [27] [28] [29]

Trump had previously considered running for president. In 2000, he ran an exploratory campaign  and won twoReform Party  primaries.[30] [31]

Early life

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946,[32]  in the borough  of Queens  in New York City.[33] [34] [35]  He is the fourth of five children to Mary Anne (née MacLeod; 1912–2000), a homemaker and philanthropist[36]  andFred Trump  (1905–1999), who worked as a real estate developer. His mother was born at Tong  on the Scottish island of Lewis .[37]  In 1930, aged 18, she visited the United States and met Fred Trump. They were married in 1936.[38]  Trump has one brother, Robert (born 1948), and two sisters: Maryanne  (born 1937) and Elizabeth (born 1942). Maryanne is a United States federal judge  on senior status  for the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit .[39]  Another brother, Fred Jr. (1938–1981), died of complications from alcoholism.[40]

Trump's father was born in Woodhaven, Queens, to German  immigrant parents,[41]  Elizabeth (Christ) andFrederick Trump ,[42]  who was a successful Klondike Gold Rush  restaurateur from Kallstadt , Palatinate . Frederick emigrated to the United States in 1885.[43] [44] [45]  His family surname was originally Drumpf , but this was changed to Trump  in the 17th century.[46]  In Trump's 1987 book, The Art of the Deal , he incorrectly states that Frederick Trump was of Swedish  origin,[47] [48]  an assertion that Fred Trump had made for many years.[49]  Trump later acknowledged his German ancestry and served as grand marshal  of the 1999 German-American Steuben Parade  in New York City.[38]

The family had a two-story mock Tudor home on Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates ,[50]  where Trump lived while attending the private  Kew-Forest School . At Kew-Forest, Fred Trump was a member of the Board of Trustees. In 1983, Fred told an interview that Donald "was a pretty rough fellow when he was small", prompting him to enroll Donald in the New York Military Academy  (NYMA). Trump finished eighth grade and high school at NYMA.[51]  During his senior year, Trump participated in marching drills and wore a uniform, attaining the rank of "cadet captain".[52]  In 2015, he told a biographer that NYMA gave him "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military".[53]

Trump attended Fordham University  for two years. He entered the Wharton School of Business  at the University of Pennsylvania , as Wharton then offered one of the few real estate studies departments in US academia.[54]  He graduated in 1968 with a bachelor of science  degree in economics .[55] [56]

Trump was eligible for the draft during the Vietnam War . In a 2011 interview on WNYW ,[57]  he stated, "I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number."[58]  Selective Service records retrieved by The Smoking Gun  website from the National Archives  show that, although Trump did eventually receive a high selective service lottery  number in 1969, he was not drafted earlier because of four student deferments (2-S) while attending college, and after receiving a medical deferment (1-Y, later converted to 4-F) obtained in 1968 after his college graduation, prior to the lottery being initiated.[59]  Trump was deemed fit for service after a military medical examination in 1966 and was briefly classified as 1-A by a local draft board shortly before his 1968 medical disqualification.[60] Trump attributed his medical deferment to "heel spurs " in both feet, according to a 2015 biographer,[53]  but told an Iowa campaign audience he suffered from a spur in one foot, although he could not remember which one.[60]

Business career

When Trump graduated from college, he was worth about $200,000 USD ($1.4 million 2015 dollars).[61]  He began his career at his father's real estate company,[62]  Elizabeth Trump and Son,[63]  which focused on middle-class rental housing in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn , Queens, and Staten Island . During his undergraduate study, one of Trump's first projects was the revitalization of the foreclosed Swifton Village apartment complex in Cincinnati , Ohio, which his father had purchased for $5.7 million in 1962.[64]  Fred and Donald Trump became involved in the project and, with a $500,000 investment, turned the 1,200-unit complex's occupancy rate from 34% to 100%. Trump oversaw the company's 14,000 apartments across Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.[65]  In 1972, the Trump Organization sold Swifton Village for $6.75 million.[66] [67]

In 1971, Trump moved to Manhattan, becoming involved in larger building projects, and used attractive architectural design to win public recognition.[6]  Trump initially came to public attention in 1973 when he was accused by the Justice Department  of violations of the Fair Housing Act  in the operation of 39 buildings. Trump in turn accused the Justice Department of targeting his company because it was a large one, and in order to force it to rent to welfare recipients . Trump settled the charges in 1975, saying he was satisfied that the agreement did not "compel the Trump organization to accept persons on welfare as tenants unless as qualified as any other tenant."[68]

Trump made plans to acquire and develop the old Penn Central for $60 million with no money down.[69]  Later, with the help of a 40-year tax abatement from the New York City government, he turned the bankrupt Commodore Hotel  into the Grand Hyatt [70]  and created The Trump Organization .[71]

New York City had a plan to build the Javits Convention Center  on property for which Trump held a right-to-buy option . Trump estimated his company could have completed the project for $110 million,[72]  but the city rejected his offer and Trump received a broker's fee on the sale of the property instead. Repairs on The Wollman Rink  in Central Park  (built in 1955) were started in 1980 with an expected 2½-year construction schedule but were nowhere near completion by 1986. Trump took over the management of the project, at no cost to the city, and completed it in three months for $1.95 million, which was $750,000 less than the initial budget.[73]

In 1988, Trump acquired the Taj Mahal Casino  in a transaction with Merv Griffin  and Resorts International ,[74]  which led to mounting debt,[75]  and by 1989, Trump was unable to meet loan payments. Although he shored up his businesses with additional loans and postponed interest payments, by 1991 increasing debt brought Trump to business bankruptcy.[75]  Banks and bondholders  had lost hundreds of millions of dollars but opted to restructure the debt. The Taj Mahal emerged from bankruptcy on October 5, 1991, with Trump ceding 50 percent ownership in the casino to the original bondholders in exchange for lowered interest rates on the debt and more time to pay it off.[76]  He also sold his financially challenged Trump Shuttle  airline and his 282-foot megayacht , theTrump Princess .[77]  The late 1990s saw a resurgence in Trump's financial situation. The will of Trump's father, who died in 1999, divided an estate estimated at $250–300 million equally among his four surviving children.[49]

In 2001, Donald Trump completed Trump World Tower , a 72-story residential tower across from the United Nations Headquarters .[78]  Also, he began construction on Trump Place , a multi-building development along the Hudson River . Trump owns commercial space in Trump International Hotel and Tower , a 44-story mixed-use (hotel and condominium ) tower on Columbus Circle . Trump owns several million square feet of prime Manhattan  real estate.[79]

Trump has licensed his name and image for the development of many real estate projects. At least two Trump-branded real estate projects have gone into foreclosure.[80]  The Turkish owner of Trump Towers Istanbul , who pays Trump for the use of his name, was reported in December 2015 to be exploring legal means to dissociate the property after the candidate's call to bar Muslims from entering the U.S.[81]

In 2015, Forbes  estimated his net worth at $4 billion.[82]  In June 2015, Business Insider  published a June 30, 2014, financial statement supplied by Trump. The statement reflects his net worth as $8.7 billion. Of that amount, $3.3 billion is represented by "Real Estate Licensing Deals, Brand and Branded Developments", described by Business Insider  as "basically [implying] that Trump values his character at $3.3 billion."[83]

Trump Tower Main article: Trump Tower (New York City) Trump Tower , at 725 Fifth Avenue, in Midtown Manhattan

Trump Tower is a 58-story, mixed-use skyscraper at 725 Fifth Avenue , at the corner of East 56th Street  in Midtown Manhattan , New York City. It was developed by Trump and the Equitable Life Assurance Company , and was designed by architect Der Scutt  of Swanke Hayden Connell .[84]  It is today solely owned by Trump.

Trump Tower occupies the former site of the architecturally significant Bonwit Teller  flagship store, demolished in 1980.[85] [86] Trump courted controversy for destroying valuable Art Deco  bas-relief sculptures on its facade, promised to the Metropolitan Museum of Art ,[85] [86]  and for a contractor's use of some 200 undocumented Polish immigrant workers in the rushed demolition process, who were paid (if at all) just $4 and $5 per hour for work in 12-hour shifts.[87] [88]  Trump testified in 1990 he rarely visited the site and was unaware of the illegal workers, some of whom lived at the site and who were known as the "Polish Brigade". A long-running labor lawsuit was settled in 1999, with its record sealed.[87] [88]

Golf Further information: You've Been Trumped A view of the Turnberry Hotel , located in Ayrshire, Scotland

The Trump Organization operates many golf courses and resorts in the U.S. and around the world.[89]  On February 11, 2014, it was announced that Trump had purchased Doonbeg Golf Club  in the Republic of Ireland . It was confirmed that the club would be renamed Trump International Golf Links, Ireland.[90]  In 2006, Trump bought the Menie Estate in Balmedie , Aberdeenshire, Scotland, creating a highly contentious golf resort, against the wishes of local residents, on an area designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest .[91] [92]  You've Been Trumped  is a 2011 independent documentary by British filmmaker Anthony Baxter which chronicles the golf resort's construction and the subsequent struggles between the locals and Donald Trump.[93]  Despite Trump's promises of 6,000 jobs, by his own admission, a decade later, the Scotland golf course only materialized 200 jobs.[94]

In April 2014, Trump purchased the Turnberry  hotel and golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland, which is a regular fixture inthe Open Championship  rota.[95] [96]  In June 2015, Trump's appeal objecting to an offshore windfarm (Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm ) within sight of the golf links was denied.[97]

In December 2015 Trump's attempt to prevent the windfarm being built within sight of his golf course was dismissed by five justices at the Supreme Court . Commenting on the decision, former Scottish First Minister  Alex Salmond  branded Trump "three times a loser". A spokesman for the Trump Organization responded to Salmond's comment by saying: "Does anyone care what this man thinks? He's a has-been and totally irrelevant. The fact that he doesn't even know what's going on in his own constituency says it all ... He should go back to doing what he does best: unveiling pompous portraits of himself that pander to his already over-inflated ego."[98]

Branding and licensing See also: List of things named after Donald Trump The Trump Organization owns, operates, develops and invests in real estate around the world such as Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, Illinois

Beyond his traditional ventures in the real estate, hospitality, and entertainment industries, Trump has established the Trump name and brand in other industries and products. With mixed success,[99] [100]  Trump has marketed his name on a large number of products, including Trump Mortgage  (2006–07),[100]  Trump Sales and Leasing (residential sales), Trump Restaurants (located in Trump Tower and consisting of Trump Buffet, Trump Catering, Trump Ice Cream Parlor, and Trump Bar), GoTrump (a 2006–07 online travel website),[100] [101]  Donald J. Trump Signature Collection (a line of menswear, men's accessories, and watches), Donald J. Trump: The Fragrance (2004), Trump Magazine  (2007–09),[100]  Trump Golf, Trump Chocolate, Trump home (home furnishings), Trump Productions (a television production company), The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative  (formerly Trump University, 2005–11), Trump: The Game (1989 board game, relaunched 2005, discontinued),[100] Donald Trump's Real Estate Tycoon  (a business simulation game), Trump Model Management , Trump Shuttle  (1989–92),[100] Trump Ice , Trump Vodka (2005–11),[100]  and Trump Steaks (launched 2007, discontinued).[100]  In addition, Trump reportedly receives $1.5 million for each one-hour presentation he does for The Learning Annex .[102]

In 2011, Forbes '  financial experts estimated the value of the Trump brand  at $200 million. Trump disputes this valuation, saying that his brand is worth about $3 billion.[103]  Many developers pay Trump to market their properties and to be the public face for their projects.[104]  For that reason, Trump does not own many of the buildings that display his name.[104]  According toForbes , this portion of Trump's empire, actually run by his children, is by far his most valuable, having a $562 million valuation. According to Forbes , there are 33 licensing projects under development including seven "condo hotels" (the seven Trump International Hotel and Tower developments). In June 2015, Forbes pegged the Trump brand at USD$125 million as retailers like Macy's Inc.  and Serta Mattresses  began dropping Trump branded products over his controversial comments on Mexican immigrants.[105]

Net worth

In April 2011, amidst speculation whether Trump would run as a candidate in the U.S. presidential election of 2012, Politico  quoted unnamed sources close to him stating that, if Trump should decide to run for president, he would file "financial disclosure statements that [would] show his net worth [was] in excess of $7 billion with more than $250 million of cash, and very little debt".[106]  (Presidential candidates are required to disclose their finances after announcing their intentions to run.) Although Trump did not run as a candidate in the 2012 elections, his professionally prepared 2012 financial disclosure was published in his book stating a $7 billion net worth.[107]

Trump Hotel Las Vegas

Estimates of Trump's net worth  have fluctuated along with real estate valuations: in 2015, Forbes  pegged it as $4 billion,[82]  while the Bloomberg Billionaires Index (which scrutinized Trump's FEC  filings) estimated a net worth of $2.9 billion.[108]  On June 16, 2015, just prior to announcing his candidacy for president of the United States, Trump released to the media a one-page prepared financial disclosure statement "from a big accounting firm—one of the most respected"[109]  stating a net worth of $8,737,540,000.[110]  "I'm really rich", Trump said.[109]  Forbes  called the nearly $9 billion figure a "100%" exaggeration.[111]  In July 2015, the Federal election regulators released new details of Trump's wealth and financial holdings when he became a Republican presidential candidate, reporting that his assets are worth above $1.4 billion, which includes at least $70 million in stocks, and a debt of at least $265 million.[112] [113]

Trump said in a July 2015 press release, one month after announcing his presidential run, that his "net worth is in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS".[113] [114]  However, Trump has said in the past that "my net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings—even my own feelings".[115]  Trump has also acknowledged that past exaggerated estimates of his wealth have been "good for financing".[116]  Forbes  has said that although Trump "shares a lot of information with us that helps us get to the figures we publish", he "consistently pushes for a higher net worth—especially when it comes to the value of his personal brand."[111]  Forbes  reduced its estimate of Trump's net worth by $125 million following Trump's controversial 2015 remarks about Mexican illegal immigrants, which ended Trump's business contracts with NBCUniversal , Univision ,Macy's , Serta , PVH Corporation , and Perfumania.[117]  An internal Young & Rubicam  study of Trump's brand favorability among high-income consumers showed "plummeting" ratings at the end of 2015, suggesting Trump's various businesses could face market and financing challenges in the future.[118]

Investments

A small portion of Trump's fortune are held in assets outside his holdings in the Trump Organization, most of which are concentrated in the financial market. In 2011, Trump made a rare foray into the stock market after being disappointed with the depressed American real estate market and facing poor returns onbank deposits . He stated that he wasn't a stock market person, but he also stated that prime real estate at good prices is hard to get. Among the stocks Trump purchased, he stated he bought stock in Bank of America , Citigroup , Caterpillar Inc. , Intel , Johnson & Johnson  and Procter & Gamble .[5]  In December 2012, Trump revealed that he also added shares of Facebook  to his stock portfolio.[119]  Trump also has US$9 million invested in hedge funds. He earned US$6.7 million from selling shares in Bank of America and an additional US$3.9 million from selling Facebook in 2014.[105]

Sports

In 1983, Trump purchased the New Jersey Generals  for the inaugural season of the United States Football League  (USFL). The Generals hired former New York Jets  head coach Walt Michaels . Prior to the inaugural season, Trump sold the franchise to Oklahoma  oil magnate J. Walter Duncan. Prior to the 1984 season, Duncan sold the team back to Trump.[120]

The USFL planned to play its 1986 schedule in the fall, directly opposite the National Football League  (NFL), thanks mostly to Trump's strong advocacy of direct competition with the older, established league. Two years earlier, Trump sold most of his fellow owners on a move to the fall by arguing that it would eventually force a merger with the NFL—in which the owners of any USFL teams included in a merger would see their investment more than double.[121]

The Generals merged with the Houston Gamblers  during the extended offseason, adding such stars as quarterback Jim Kelly  and wide receiver Ricky Sanders . Michaels was fired, replaced with former Gamblers coach Jack Pardee , who planned to bring the Gamblers' high-powered run and shoot offense with him. However, the USFL's "Dream Team" never took the field. The 1986 season was cancelled after the USFL won a minimal verdict in an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL ; the league folded soon afterward.

Trump at one time acted as a financial advisor for Mike Tyson ,[122]  hosting Tyson's fight  against Michael Spinks  in Atlantic City .[123]

Beauty pageants Further information: Miss USA , Miss Universe  and Miss Teen USA

From 1996 until 2015, when he sold his interests to WME /IMG ,[124]  Trump owned part or all of the Miss Universe , Miss USA , and Miss Teen USA  beauty pageants . Among the most recognized beauty pageants in the world, the Miss Universe  pageant was founded in 1952 by the California clothing company Pacific Mills.[citation needed ]

In 2015, NBC and Univision both ended their business relationships with the Miss Universe Organization after Trump's presidential campaign kickoff speech on June 16, in which he stated:

The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems. [Applause] Thank you. It's true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.[125]

Trump subsequently filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univision, alleging a breach of contract and defamation. Cable network Reelz  then acquired the rights to exclusively telecast the Miss USA  pageant.[126] [127]  Trump told People  magazine in July 2015 that the lawsuit against Univision was "part of the [presidential] campaign".[128]  On September 11, 2015, Trump announced that he purchased NBC's stake in the Miss Universe Organization, making him the sole owner, and had "settled" his lawsuits against the network,[128]  though it was not immediately clear whether Trump had filed lawsuits against NBC or merely threatened to do so.[129]  He sold his own interests in the pageant shortly afterwards.[124]

Entertainment media

In the media, Trump is a two-time Emmy Award -nominated personality and has made appearances as a caricatured version of himself in television series and films (e.g., Home Alone 2: Lost in New York , The Nanny , The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air , Days of Our Lives , Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps [130] ), and as a character (The Little Rascals ). He has been the subject of comedians, Flash cartoon artists, and online caricature artists. Trump also had his own daily talk radio program called Trumped! .[131] [132] [133] [134] [135]  He also had a cameo in an episode of the television series Sex and the City .[136]  Trump is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild  and receives an annual pension of more than $110,000 every year.[137] [138]

In March 2011, Trump was the subject of a Comedy Central Roast . The special was hosted by Seth MacFarlane , and roasters included Larry King , Snoop Dogg , and Anthony Jeselnik  among regular roast participants. Trump's daughter Ivanka was seen in the audience.[139]  In April 2011, Trump attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner, featuring comedian Seth Meyers . President Obama used the occasion to present several prepared jokes mocking Trump.[140]

On August 5, 2015, a documentary about Trump in the 1980s and 1990s appeared online, called, What's the Deal?.[141]

The Apprentice

Main article : The Apprentice

In 2003, Trump became the executive producer and host of the NBC  reality show  The Apprentice , in which a group of competitors battled for a high-level management job in one of Trump's commercial enterprises. Contestants were successively "fired" and eliminated from the game. In 2004, Trump filed a trademark application for the catchphrase  "You're fired ."[4] [5] [6]

For the first year of the show, Trump earned $50,000 per episode (roughly $700,000 for the first season), but following the show's initial success, he was paid a reported $3 million per episode, making him one of the highest paid TV personalities.[citation needed ] In July 2015, Trump reported in his personal financial disclosure statement with the Federal Election Commission  that NBCUniversal had paid him $213,606,575 for his 14 seasons of hosting the show.[105] [142]  In 2007, Trump received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame  for his contribution to television (The Apprentice ).[143]

Along with British TV producer Mark Burnett , Trump was hired as host of The Celebrity Apprentice , in which well-known stars compete to win money for their charities. While Trump and Burnett co-produced the show, Trump stayed in the forefront, deciding winners and "firing" losers.

On February 16, 2015, NBC announced that they would be renewing The Apprentice  for a 15th season.[144]  Eleven days later, Trump stated that he was "not ready" to sign on for another season because of the possibility of a presidential run.[145]  Despite this, on March 18, NBC announced they were going ahead with production.[146]  On June 29, after widespread negative reaction stemming from Trump's campaign announcement speech, NBC released a statement saying, "Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump", apparently ending Trump's role in The Apprentice .[147]

World Wrestling Entertainment

Trump is a known World Wrestling Entertainment  fan and friend of WWE owner Vince McMahon . He has hosted two WrestleMania  events in the Trump Plaza and has been an active participant in several of the shows.[148]  Trump's Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City was host to the 1991 WBF Championship  (which was owned by WWE, known at the time as the "World Wrestling Federation"). Trump was interviewed by Jesse Ventura  ringside at WrestleMania XX .[149]

He also appeared at WrestleMania 23  in a match called "The Battle of the Billionaires".[148]  Trump was in the corner of Bobby Lashley , while Vince McMahon was in the corner of Lashley's opponent Umaga  with Stone Cold Steve Austin  as the special guest referee.[148]  The stipulation of the match was hair versus hair, which meant that either Trump or McMahon would have their head shaved if their competitor lost.[148]  Lashley won the match, and he and Trump shaved McMahon bald.[148]

On June 15, 2009, as part of a storyline , McMahon announced on Monday Night Raw  that he had "sold" the show to Trump.[148]  Appearing on screen, Trump declared he would be at the following commercial-free episode in person and would give a full refund to the people who purchased tickets to the arena for that night's show.[148]  McMahon "bought back" Raw  the following week for twice the price.[148]  His entrance theme  "Money, Money" was written by Jim Johnston .

Trump was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame  in 2013, at Madison Square Garden  for his contributions to the promotion. He made his fifth WrestleMania appearance the next night.[150]

Politics

Trump has described his political leanings and positions in various, sometimes contradictory ways over time.[151] [152] [153] [154]  Politico  has described his positions as "eclectic, improvisational and often contradictory."[154]  He has listed his party affiliation as Republican , Independence Party , Democrat , and "decline to state."[155] [154]  He has also run as a Reform Party candidate.[155]  Specifically, he has changed his positions on taxing the wealthy, the Iraq War , andhealth care .[154]

Political affiliations

A 2011 report by the Center for Responsive Politics  showed that over the previous two decades of U.S. elections, Donald Trump made contributions to campaigns of both Republican Party and Democratic Party candidates, with the top 10 recipients of his political contributions being six Democrats and four Republicans.[156]  After 2011, his campaign contributions were more favorable to Republicans over Democrats.[157]

Trump was an early supporter of Republican Ronald Reagan  for U.S. president,[158]  and in February 2012 endorsed Republican Mitt Romney  for president.[159]  When asked in 2015 which recent president was best, Trump picked Democrat Bill Clinton  over Republicans George H.W. Bush  and George W. Bush .[160] [161]  The Clintons' foundation  has received between $100,000 and $250,000 from Trump,[162]  and they attended Trump's 2005 wedding reception.[163]  Trump wrote in 2008 that Hillary Clinton would be a "great president or vice-president".[164]

Trump's party affiliation has changed over the years. Until 1987, he was a Democrat.[4]  Then he was a Republican from 1987–99.[3]  He then switched to theReform Party  from 1999–2001.[3]  From 2001–09 he was a Democrat again,[3]  and switched to the Republican Party again from 2009–11.[3]  An independent from 2011–12, he returned to the Republican Party where he has remained from 2012–present.[3]

Running for president in previous elections Further information: Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2000

Trump floated the idea of running for president in 1988, 2004, and 2012, and for governor of New York in 2006 and 2014, but did not enter those races.[165] [166]  He was considered as a potential running mate for George H. W. Bush on the Republican Party's 1988 presidential ticket but lost out to future Vice President Dan Quayle . There is dispute over whether Trump or the Bush camp made the initial pitch.[167]  In 1999, Trump filed an exploratory committee to seek the presidential nomination of the Reform Party  in 2000. A July 1999 poll matching him against likely Republican nominee George W. Bush  and likely Democratic nominee Al Gore  showed Trump with seven percent support.[168]  Though he dropped out of the race due to party infighting, Trump still won the party's California and Michigan primaries.[169] [170] [171] [172]

Trump later said that his national profile changed: "What happened was I did The Apprentice  and it became a tremendous success. Who would have thought this was going to happen?" he told interviewer Larry King  in 2005. "There's sort of nothing like having the big hot show on television", Trump said.[173]

As Trump publicly speculated about seeking the 2012  Republican presidential nomination, a Wall Street Journal /NBC News poll released in March 2011 found Trump leading among potential contenders, one point ahead of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney .[174]  A Newsweek  poll conducted in February 2011 showed Trump within a few points of Barack Obama, with many voters undecided in the November 2012 general election for president of the United States.[175]  A poll released in April 2011 by Public Policy Polling showed Trump having a nine-point lead in a potential contest for the Republican nomination for president while he was still actively considering a run.[176] [177]  His moves were interpreted by some media as possible promotional tools for his reality showThe Apprentice .[178] [179] [180]  On May 16, 2011, Trump announced he would not run for president.[178]  Public Policy Polling  described the events of May 2011 as "one of the quickest rises and falls in the history of presidential politics".[181]

Between presidential announcements, 2011–15

In December 2011, Donald Trump was named among the top six of the ten most admired men and women living, according to a USA Today /Gallup poll.[182]

Trump speaking at the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC ) in National Harbor, Maryland

In April 2011, Trump questioned President Barack Obama 's proof of citizenship ,[183]  alleging that "his grandmother in Kenya said he was born in Kenya, and she was there and witnessed the birth."[184]  (Trump's claim derived from a discredited transcript of a telephone interview with Obama's grandmother, produced by a Pennsylvania pastor opposed to Obama's election.[185] ) Trump also questioned whether Obama had good enough grades to warrant entry to Harvard Law School.[186]  Trump said to have sent a team of private investigators to Hawaii , Obama's documented birthplace,[185]  and told The Today Show  "they cannot believe what they're finding."[187]  On April 25, 2011, Trump called for Obama to end the citizenship issue by releasing the long form of his birth certificate.[188] [189]  Two days later, Obama made a formal statement in efforts by the White House  to put the matter to rest with the release of the long form of Obama's birth certificate.[190]  Trump expressed pride at his role in the certificate's release in a press conference follow-up, saying he hoped it "checks out" and "we have to see, is it real?"[191]  When asked in July 2015 whether Obama was born in the U.S., Trump said: "I really don't know. I mean, I don't know why he wouldn't release his records."[192] [193]

In December 2008, Trump emerged as an early supporter of the 2009 government-backed rescue plan for the U.S. auto industry, which by 2012 was supported by 56% of Americans (63% support in Michigan), according to a Pew Research Center poll.[194] [195]  Statements of Trump's hinting that vaccination would cause autism were subject to criticism in various media by the scientific community.[196] [197]  He has also been criticized for climate change-denying statements, because they are discordant with the opinion of the scientific community .[198]

In 2013, Trump was a featured speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference  (CPAC).[199]  The speech was not well attended.[200]  He spent over $1 million to research a possible run for president of the United States.[201]  In October 2013, New York Republicans had circulated a memo suggesting Trump should run for governor of the state in 2014, against Andrew Cuomo . Trump said that while New York had problems and taxes were too high, running for governor was not of great interest to him.[202]  In February 2015, Trump opted not to renew his television contract for The Apprentice , generating speculation that he might run for president in 2016.[203]

Presidential campaign, 2016 Main article: Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016 Trump at a presidential campaign rally, September 3, 2015

Trump formally announced his candidacy for president of the United States in the 2016 elections on June 16, 2015, from his headquarters in Trump Tower  in New York City.[204] [205]  Trump launched his campaign declaring the official slogan, "We are going to make our country great again" with a commitment to become the "greatest jobs president that God ever created".[205] [206]  Immediately after his announcement in New York, Trump traveled to Iowa to campaign in the state ahead of the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses .[207]  Trump has also campaigned extensively in New Hampshire, site of the first Republican primary .[208] [209]  Trump kicked off a western swing in early July 2015, giving rallies and speeches in Las Vegas[210]  and Los Angeles.[211] [212]

A survey conducted by The Economist /YouGov  released July 9, 2015, became significant as the first major nationwide poll to show Trump as the 2016 Republican presidential front-runner.[213]  Following that poll, from July to November 2015, Trump polled at or near the top of most opinion polls for the GOP nomination, often polling at between 20 and 40 percent of Republicans. Trump also polled well in the early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, often leading or coming in second in these states. On December 28, 2015, Trump was named the Top Name in Global English by the Global Language Monitor  finishing ahead of Pope Francis ,Vladimir Putin , and Angela Merkel .[214]

Trump runs on a highly populist[20]  platform that often appeals to the concerns of working-class voters who feels displaced by job losses and changes to America's ethnic and religious demographics. It has sometimes been described as nativist[215]  or fascist.[216] [217]

Trump has gained widespread support for what he and his supporters call "telling it like it is,"[218] [219]  with a disdain for political correctness .[220] [221]  He is running counter to the Republican establishment , which widely opposes his candidacy and worries that him winning could hand the election to the Democratic nominee.[222]

He has frequently made bold and heavily controversial statements on issues that appeal to disenfranchised working-class voters with negative opinions of immigrants.[223] [224] [225] [226]

On the other hand, political opponents have described Trump as divisive,[227] [228]  unserious,[229]  and a bully,[230]  among other things.

Trump has made a number of high-profile personal attacks on journalists,[231]  politicians,[232]  and competing candidates.[233]  He often launches fast-paced, multiple-tweet Twitter rants against people he disagrees with or dislikes.[234] [235] [236]

Eschewing the super PAC  model popular among competing candidates, Trump has touted ability to self-finance his campaign—backed by considerable personal wealth (he is a billionaire)—as proof that he "can't be bought."[237]  However, as of October 15 donations outpaced self-financing.[238]  Trump spends much less than competing candidates, relying on free media coverage instead of paid television advertisements.[239]

Trump's immigration policy calls for deportation of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., and the erection of a substantial wall on the Mexico–United States border .[240]  Trump has called for aggressive bombing of the Mideast terrorist group ISIS , and has supported surveillance on mosques in the U.S.[241]

Trump has employed strong rhetoric on religion, expressing negative sentiments about Muslims. Specifically, he has called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States. He has raised questions about the religious beliefs of other candidates, including Ben Carson and Ted Cruz.[242]

Other issues he highlights include taking care of military veterans,[243]  making the military "strong,"[244]  and getting trade agreements  more favorable to American workers.[245]

On January 19, 2016, former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin  endorsed Trump for president.[246]

Political positions Main article: Political positions of Donald Trump Trump at an early campaign event in New Hampshire on August 19, 2015

Trump has described his political leanings and positions in various, sometimes contradictory ways over time.[151] [152] [153] [154]  The following are his positions as of 2016, as evidenced in his public speeches, debate appearances, policy briefs, and campaign website descriptions.

Trump describes himself as pro-life [247]  and would ban late-term abortions  except in cases of rape, incest, or health.[247]  He is in favor of cutting federal funding for Planned Parenthood .[248]

Trump supports the Second Amendment , is opposed to gun control  in general,[247] [249]  and has a New York concealed carry permit.[250]  He supports fixing the federal background check system  so that criminal and mental health records are always put into the system.[249]

Regarding healthcare, Trump favors replacing the Affordable Care Act  (commonly referred to as "Obamacare") with afree-market plan  and competition to lower costs, although he has also stated support for a single-payer system in the past.[251]  Trump favors getting rid of backlogs and waitlists which are the focus of the Veterans Health Administration scandal . In a statement, he said he believes that Veterans Affairs facilities need to be upgraded with recent technology, hire more veterans to treat other veterans, increase support of female veterans, and create satellite clinics within hospitals in rural areas.[252]

Trump opposes legalizing recreational marijuana  but supports legalizing medical marijuana ,[253]  while being supportive of states' rights.[253]

On the issue of immigration, Trump has emphasized U.S. border security. During his first town hall campaign meeting in Derry, New Hampshire  Trump claimed that if he won the election, "Day 1 of my presidency, illegal immigrants  are getting out and getting out fast."[240]  Trump opposes birthright citizenship , arguing that it is not or should not be protected by the Fourteenth Amendment .[254] [255]

Trump has called global warming  "a total hoax".[256]  He has stated that "the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive" although he later clarified that it was a joke.[257]  He has also said that "the EPA  is an impediment to both growth and jobs". Trump supports increased fracking  and has criticized sustainable wind power  alternatives, stating that "windmills are destroying every country they touch" while producing "unreliable and terrible" energy.[258]

Trump has stated that he supports traditional marriage.[256]  Of the June 2015 Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage  nationwide, he said: "I would have preferred states, you know, making the decision and I let that be known. But they made the decision. [...] So, at a certain point you have to be realistic about it."[247] [259]

Regarding the minimum wage , Trump believes it should not be raised because increasing it would hurt America's economic competitiveness.[260]

Trump has stated his support for school choice  and local control for primary and secondary schools.[261]  He opposes the Common Core State Standards Initiative  for primary and secondary schools,[247] [262]  and has called Common Core "a disaster" that must be ended.[263]

Proposed ban on Muslims entering the U.S.

Trump has received widespread notoriety for proposing a temporary ban on foreign Muslims entering the United States  (approximately 100,000 Muslim immigrants are admitted to the U.S. each year)[264]  until better security precautions are implemented.[26] [27] [28]  In response to the 2015 San Bernardino attack , Trump proposed a ban on Muslims entering the United States "until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."[265]  Trump citedPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt 's World War II  use of the Alien and Sedition Acts  to issue of presidential proclamations  to apprehend, restrain, and deport Japanese, German, and Italian alien immigrants, then Trump argued that the proclamations were good because Roosevelt is highly respected and even has highways named after him.[266] [267] [268]  He later clarified that Muslims who were U.S. citizens or serving in the U.S. military would be let back into the United States.[269]  The measure proposed by Trump would be temporary,[26]  until better screening methods are devised,[27]  although the proposal has also been phrased in more controversial ways.[28]

This proposal gained considerable support among Republican voters, with 59% supporting such a ban in a ABC News/Washington Post survey. Support for such a proposal comes to 36% among the population as a whole.[270]

However, a large and diverse array of public figures have condemned the comments. The proposal drew wide criticism from sources both within the U.S. and abroad, and from unusual sources, such as foreign leaders who normally do not get involved in United States presidential campaigns, and leaders of Trump's own party holding party positions that do not normally get involved in its own party's presidential primary.[271] [272]  Critics included British Prime Minister  David Cameron ,[271]  French Prime Minister  Manuel Valls [273]  and Canadian Foreign Minister  Stéphane Dion ,[274]  as well as the chairman of the Republican PartyReince Priebus , Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan , and Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell .[272] [275]  A petition to block Trump from entry into the United Kingdom has gained over 540,000 signatures, a record for the UK Government  website.[276]  Members of Trump's own party argued that a proposal banning members of a major world religion violated the party's conservative values, the constitution's First Amendment  (which protects freedom of religion), and the country's immigrant heritage. Critics pointed out that the proposal would result in the exclusion of many of the most important allies in the country's war on terror, from interpreters helping the CIA to Jordan's King Abdullah , and that it would bolster ISIL by furthering its narrative that the U.S. is pitted against the Muslim faith. The U.S. Pentagon  issued a statement that "anything that bolsters ISIL's narrative and pits the United States against the Muslim faith is certainly not only contrary to our values but contrary to our national security."[277]  The Washington Post  reported that, “Donald Trump [was] featured in new jihadist recruitment video.”[278]

In January 2013 Trump was a notably popular figure in Israel ,[279] [280]  and endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  during the 2013 Israeli elections ,[281] [282]  but following Trump's call in December 2015 to temporarily exclude Muslims from travel to the United States, numerous Jewish leaders (including Netanyahu)[283]  criticized Trump's proposal. Several dozen Israeli Knesset  members from across the political spectrum signed a petition urging Netanyahu not to meet with Trump later that month;[284]  a day later, Trump postponed his visit to Israel until "a later date after I become President of the U.S.",[285]  stating that he did not want to put Netanyahu "under pressure".[283]

Petition to ban from United Kingdom

Following Trump's controversial comments on Muslim immigration, a petition with the title "Block Donald J Trump from UK entry"[286]  was opened in the UK, on the Parliament's e-petition website , calling on the UK government's Home Office  to ban him from entering the country. By 5:00am on December 11, the total number of signatures exceeded 500,000,[287]  far above the threshold of 100,000 required for a Parliamentary debate.[288]

On January 18, the UK's House of Commons  debated whether to ban Trump,[289]  but ended without a vote, as MP's did not have the power to enact such a ban.[290]  The three-hour long debate saw members on all sides of parliament describe Trump as "crazy" and "offensive".[291]

Personal life Trump's eldest daughter Ivanka , serves as Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization

Trump has had three marriages, which have been well-documented in the tabloid media.[12]

Trump married model Ivana Zelníčková  on April 7, 1977 at the Marble Collegiate Church  in New York.[292]  They have three children: sons Donald, Jr.  (born December 31, 1977) and Eric  (born January 6, 1984) and daughter Ivanka  (born October 30, 1981). Ivana became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1988, with Trump at her side.[293]  Trump is popularly known as "The Donald", a nickname perpetuated by the media after Ivana referred to him as such in a 1989 Spy Magazine  cover story.[294] [295]  By early 1990, Trump's troubled marriage to Ivana and long-running affair with actress Marla Maples  had become widely documented in the tabloid press,[48] [296]  and the couple divorced in 1991.[297]

Maples gave birth to their daughter Tiffany on October 13, 1993. They married two months later on December 20, 1993.[298] The couple formally separated in May 1997,[299]  with their divorce finalized in June 1999.[300] [301]

Trump dated model Kara Young  in the mid to late 1990s,[302]  and reportedly "bombarded" Princess Diana  with expensive floral arrangements after her 1996 divorce from Prince Charles .[303]  "I only have one regret in the women department – that I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer", Trump wrote in his 1997 book, The Art of the Comeback . "I met her on a number of occasions … She was a genuine princess – a dream lady."[304]

Trump's wife Melania , in 2011

In 1998, Trump began a relationship with Slovenian-born fashion model, Melania Knauss .[305] [306]  They became engaged in April 2004[307]  and were married on January 22, 2005 at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, on the island of Palm Beach , Florida, followed by a reception at Trump's Mar-A-Lago  estate.[308] [309] [310]  In 2006, Melania became a naturalized U.S. citizen.[306]  That same year, she gave birth to a son named Barron William Trump.[311] [312]  (Trump had previously used the pseudonym "John Baron" in some business deals.[87] ) Having spoken the language since his childhood, Barron is fluent in Slovenian .[313]  In a February 2009 interview on ABC's news program Nightline , Trump commented on his ex-wives: "I just know it's very hard for them [Ivana and Marla] to compete because I do love what I do. I really love it."[314]

Trump has seven grandchildren: five from his son Donald Jr. (Kai Madison, Donald John III, Tristan Milos, Spencer Frederick, and Chloe Sophia)[315] [316] [317]  and two from his daughter Ivanka (Arabella Rose and Joseph Frederick).[318] [319]

Religious views

Trump is a Presbyterian .[320]  In an April 2011 interview on the 700 Club , he commented: "I'm a Protestant , I'm a Presbyterian. And you know I've had a good relationship with the church over the years. I think religion is a wonderful thing. I think my religion is a wonderful religion."[321] [322]  Trump told a 2015 South Carolina campaign audience he joined the Marble Collegiate Church , where he married his first wife Ivana in 1977. The church has said he is "not an active member".[323]

In 1983, the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale , described in a New York Times  profile as Trump's "pastor" and "family minister," said that Trump was "kindly and courteous in certain business negotiations and has a profound streak of honest humility."[51]  Trump calls his own book The Art of the Deal  (1987) "my second favorite book of all time", and has told campaign audiences: "Do you know what my first is? The Bible! Nothing beats the Bible."[324] [325]  Declining to name his favorite Bible verse, Trump said "I don't like giving that out to people that you hardly know."[323]

Trump has said that while he participates in Holy Communion , he has not asked God for forgiveness for his sins. He says: "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture."[326]

Trump has praised and maintains relationships with several prominent national evangelical  and Christian  leaders, including Tony Perkins  and Ralph Reed .[327] During his 2016 presidential campaign, he received a blessing from Greek Orthodox  priest Emmanuel Lemelson .[328]

Trump also has strong ties with the Jewish American community.[329]  Asked in 2015 at an Algemeiner Journal  awards ceremony about having Jewish grandchildren, Trump said: "Not only do I have Jewish grandchildren, I have a Jewish daughter (Ivanka , who converted  to Judaism  before her marriage toJared Kushner ) and I am very honored by that … it wasn't in the plan but I am very glad it happened."[330]

Hairstyle Rear view of Trump'scombover , in 2013

Trump's hairstyle  has been widely examined and is often fodder for comedic remarks. His hair is notorious for its uniquely dynamic shape, sand-yellow-white color, and what Vanity Fair  had described as an unusual two-directional "double combover " which is made particularly visible in harsh lighting.[331]  Louis Licari has conjectured that it is all Trump's hair, but only throughtransplants , possibly performed by hair transplantation pioneer Norman Orentreich .[332] [333]  An unauthorized 1993 biography by Newsweek  reporter Harry Hurt III said that Trump underwent painful scalp-reduction surgery in 1989 performed by one of his [then-wife] Ivana's plastic surgeons, an allegation Trump denied.[334]  In August 2015 at a rally in Mobile, Alabama  Trump said: "If it rains, I’ll take off my hat, and I’ll prove once and for all that it’s mine."[333]  Trump told Playboy  in 2004 that he styles his own hair and lets only one person trim it: "My girlfriend [now-wife] Melania."[333]  In recent years there have been reports that Trump has his own hairdresser.[333]  When it comes to fixative, Trump said at a rally on December 30, 2015, in Hilton Head, South Carolina  that he likes to liberally apply hair product in his New York apartment. Addressing the environmental issues regarding aerosol products , Trump dismissed the pumped product preferred by environmentalists, saying “I wanna use hair spray!”.[335]  In June 2015, Trump told the Des Moines Register  he would probably change his current hairstyle if elected U.S. President in 2016, saying he would not have time to maintain it, as he would be "working his butt off in the White House."[336]

Campaign contributions

According to a New York State report, Trump "circumvented" personal and corporate campaign donation limits in the 1980s by donating money to candidates from 18 different business subsidiaries, rather than giving primarily in his own name.[401]  Trump told investigators he did so on the advice of lawyers, and not to curry favor with business-friendly candidates, but simply to satisfy requests from friends.[401]

Awards and honors Trump receiving the 2015 Marine Corps–Law Enforcement Foundation 's annual Leadership Award in recognition for his contributions to American military education programs Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
  • Gaming Hall of Fame  (class of 1995)[410]
  • NY Ride of Fame  (class of 2010)[411]
