Republican Party candidate Donald Trump will be sworn in as president for the second time in January 2025.
Donald Trump has once again been elected president of the United States. Republican Party candidate Donald Trump will be sworn in as president for the second time in January 2025. He defeated Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris by winning 294 electoral votes. Kamala obtained only 223 electoral votes. Let’s try to find out how Trump, who came from an apolitical or business background, captured the Republican Party and became the presidential candidate of this party for the third time in a row.
Donald Trump is the fourth child of New York real estate businessman Fred Trump. At the age of 13 he was sent to the military academy. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Donald became his father’s successor when his older brother Fred decided to become a pilot instead of going into their father’s business.
If media reports are to be believed, Trump says that before joining his father’s company, he had entered the real estate business by borrowing a million dollars from him. He joined his father and helped him manage his extensive housing projects. In 1971, Donald took control of his father’s company and called it the Trump Organization.

Trump considered politics a bad life
This is the year 1980. Trump had said in an interview that politics is a meaningless life. That’s why the most capable people choose business over politics. That is, until then Trump did not consider politics good. Another thing is that only after seven years, that is, in 1987, Trump began to think about claiming the position of president and began to explore the possibility of it. In 2000 he had thought about running for election with the Reform Party. In 2012 he changed his mind and began to think about participating in the Republican Party elections.

Among those raising doubts about Barack Obama’s birthplace
Donald Trump is among those raising questions about the birthplace of former US President Donald Trump. In the United States there is a theory called Birtherism, which raises the question of whether Barack Obama was born in the United States. Trump started raising this question in 2011 and Obama eventually had to release his Hawaii birth certificate.
However, despite Obama’s opposition, Trump did not make his claim in any form until June 2015. Not only that, for his presidential bid, he declared his dream dead and began promising to make it even bigger.
came to the fore with controversial statements
Through public forums, Trump began to boast about his wealth and success in business. He accused Mexico of sending drugs, crimes and criminals to the United States. He also began promising people that he would get Mexico to pay for the construction of a wall on the US border. In this way, through controversial statements on different platforms, he caught the attention of both his fans and critics. The media also started talking about him.

The candidacy of such a strong person in the Republican Party.
In the end, Trump gave the motto of Make America Great Again and consolidated his candidacy for the position of President of the United States, leaving his Republican Party rivals behind. In this way, he entered into competition with the Democratic Party candidate, Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 elections. However, the night of his victory was still not easy. Trump faced many controversies due to his rookie campaigns. An audiotape in which he bragged about sexual abuse was leaked and he continued to trail in opinion polls during the US election.
However, the election results were shocking and he won the election against then-Vice President and veteran Hillary Clinton. Proving all political pundits and election analysts wrong, Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States on January 20, 2017.
Publicity was also obtained from properties and personal lives.
The reason Trump rose to fame was his properties. He built casinos, condominiums, golf courses and hotels in places from Atlantic City, Chicago and Las Vegas to India, Türkiye and the Philippines. He became the owner of beauty pageants such as Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, and later rose to fame as the creator and host of the NBC reality show The Apprentice.
Trump also received a lot of publicity about his personal life. His first wife was Czech athlete and model Ivana Zelnikova, who was also quite famous. Before divorcing in 1990, they had three children named Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric. However, Ivana cited domestic violence as the reason for the divorce. In 1993, Trump married actress Marla Maples, but she also divorced in 1999. In 2005, Trump married former Slovenian model Melania Knauss.
There have been many accusations of sexual exploitation against Trump. In 2006, he was also found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business documents to cover up an alleged extramarital affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Theatrics were visible in the work.
There was no change in Trump even after he became president. Act spectacularly and often make formal announcements on Twitter (now X). He even openly clashed with foreign leaders on this platform. It came into the spotlight when the United States withdrew from trade and climate agreements. Not only this, travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries was banned. He restricted immigration policy and started a kind of trade war with China. He implemented record tax cuts at home in 2017 and redesigned relations with Middle Eastern countries.
Despite all this, he lost to Joe Biden in the next year’s election. Now he has won the American elections again.
