Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States.

Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

Trump was born and raised in Queens, a borough of New York City, and received a bachelor's
degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in
1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens
and Brooklyn into Manhattan. The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf
courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He bought
the Miss Universe brand of beauty pageants in 1996, and sold it in 2015. He produced and
hosted The Apprentice, a reality television series, from 2003 to 2015. As of 2020, Forbes estimated
his net worth to be $2.1 billion.[a]
Trump entered the 2016 presidential race as a Republican and defeated 16 other candidates in
the primaries. His political positions have been described as populist, protectionist, and nationalist.
He was elected in a surprise victory over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, although he lost the
popular vote.[b] He became the oldest first-term U.S. president,[c] and the first without prior military or
government service. His election and policies have sparked numerous protests. Trump has
made many false or misleading statements during his campaign and presidency. The statements
have been documented by fact-checkers, and the media have widely described the phenomenon as
unprecedented in American politics. Many of his comments and actions have been characterized as
racially charged or racist.
Trump has advocated a stricter immigration policy: he imposed travel bans on various countries,
tightened enforcement of immigration law, and increased migrant detentions and family separations.
He also vowed to "build the wall" on the Mexican border but has managed only to renovate pre-
existing fencing. He enacted a tax-cut package for individuals and businesses, rescinding
the individual health insurance mandate penalty. He appointed Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh to
the Supreme Court. In foreign policy, Trump has pursued an America First agenda, withdrawing the
U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade negotiations, the Paris Agreement on climate change,
the Iran nuclear deal, and the World Health Organization (WHO). He imposed import tariffs which
triggered a trade war with China, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and withdrew U.S.
troops from northern Syria. Trump met three times with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, but talks
on denuclearization broke down in 2019.
A special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller found that Trump and his campaign welcomed
and encouraged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election under the belief that it would
be politically advantageous, but did not find sufficient evidence to press charges of criminal
conspiracy or coordination with Russia.[d] Mueller also investigated Trump for obstruction of justice,
and his report neither indicted nor exonerated Trump on that offense. After Trump solicited the
investigation of a political rival by Ukraine, the House of Representatives impeached him in
December 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate acquitted him of both
charges in February 2020.

Narendra Damodardas Modi (Gujarati pronunciation: [ˈnəɾendrə dɑmodəɾˈdɑs ˈmodiː] ( listen); born 17

September 1950) is an Indian politician serving as the 14th and current Prime Minister of India since
2014. He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and is the Member of
Parliament for Varanasi. Modi is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation. He is the first prime minister
outside of the Indian National Congress to win two consecutive terms with a full majority and the
second to complete five years in office after Atal Bihari Vajpayee.[2]
Born to a Gujarati family in Vadnagar, Modi helped his father sell tea as a child and has said he later
ran his own stall. He was introduced to the RSS at the age of eight, beginning a long association
with the organisation. Modi left home after finishing high-school in part due to an arranged
marriage to Jashodaben Chimanlal Modi, which he abandoned and publicly acknowledged only
many decades later. Modi travelled around India for two years and visited a number of religious
centres before returning to Gujarat. In 1971 he became a full-time worker for the RSS. During
the state of emergency imposed across the country in 1975, Modi was forced to go into hiding. The
RSS assigned him to the BJP in 1985 and he held several positions within the party hierarchy until
2001, rising to the rank of general secretary.
Modi was appointed Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001 due to Keshubhai Patel's failing health and
poor public image following the earthquake in Bhuj. Modi was elected to the legislative assembly
soon after. His administration has been considered complicit in the 2002 Gujarat riots,[a] or otherwise
criticised for its handling of it. A Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team found no
evidence to initiate prosecution proceedings against Modi personally.[b] His policies as chief minister,
credited with encouraging economic growth, have received praise.[10] His administration has been
criticised for failing to significantly improve health, poverty and education indices in the state.[c]
Modi led the BJP in the 2014 general election which gave the party a majority in the Indian lower
house of parliament, the Lok Sabha, the first time for any single party since 1984. Modi's
administration has tried to raise foreign direct investment in the Indian economy and reduced
spending on healthcare and social welfare programmes. Modi has attempted to improve efficiency in
the bureaucracy; he has centralised power by abolishing the Planning Commission. He began
a high-profile sanitation campaign and weakened or abolished environmental and labour laws. He
initiated a controversial demonetisation of high-denomination banknotes.
Following his party's victory in the 2019 general election, his administration revoked the special
status of Jammu and Kashmir. His administration also introduced the Citizenship Amendment Act,
which resulted in widespread protests across the country. Described as engineering a political
realignment towards right-wing politics, Modi remains a figure of controversy domestically and
internationally over his Hindu nationalist beliefs and his role during the 2002 Gujarat riots, cited as
evidence of an exclusionary social agenda
