Donald Trump Candidate for US President

Donald Trump, a prominent figure in modern American history, has re-entered the political arena as a candidate in the 2024 US presidential election. He is running against Vice President Kamala Harris, seeking to reclaim the White House and position himself as a defender of conservative values ​​and economic nationalism.
Trump was born in Queens, New York in 1946 into a wealthy family. His son’s career path was significantly influenced by his father, Fred Trump, a successful real estate developer. After graduating from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, Trump joined his father’s company, expanding it into Manhattan, focusing on high-profile, luxury projects. Through aggressive marketing and a penchant for lavish design, Trump established his brand in iconic properties such as Trump Tower in New York, hotels, casinos and golf courses. This expansion not only increased his wealth, but also cemented Trump’s status as a famous businessman.

Donald Trump’s transition from business to politics came as a surprise to many

Although he had previously expressed interest in running for office, it was not until 2015 that he formally announced his candidacy for president as a Republican. His campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” emphasized restoring American jobs, renegotiating trade agreements, tightening immigration policies and prioritizing national sovereignty. Despite initial skepticism about his candidacy, Trump’s direct approach and populist message resonated with many Americans who felt disconnected from the political establishment.
After defeating Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, Trump’s presidency was characterized by significant policy initiatives, controversy and an unconventional approach to governing. But his term was also marked by controversy, including two impeachment trials and a polarized response to the Covid-19 pandemic. His administration has faced criticism for its handling of the virus and racial justice protests in 2020, as well as its role in the events of January 6, 2021. Trump was defeated by Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
As the 2024 election approaches, Trump has returned to the political forefront, currently facing off against Kamala Harris, the current vice president. Harris, who represents the Democratic Party, supports progressive policies such as climate action, health care reform and social justice. With Biden choosing not to seek re-election, Harris took the Democratic seat, offering a clear alternative to Trump’s policies.
Trump’s 2024 campaign builds on themes from his first campaign, focusing on economic recovery, strong borders and a return to conservative governance.
