{{quote|''Make America Great Again''}}
'''Donald John Trump''' is the 45th President of the United States of America. One of the few presidents to be known outside of political circles before his run, he was originally a real estate mogul known for [[Egopolis|slapping his name]] on the front of his innumerable hotels, casinos, resorts and golf courses. Prior to transferring his business assets to his children, most of his capital was rooted in New York City, where he owned several million square feet of property, including ''half of the Empire State Building''. Prior to 2015 he held joint-ownership over the Miss Universe pageant, also encompassing Miss USA and Miss Teen USA. This is a secondary achievement to Donald's comb-over, which rivals any architecture he's built. He also hosted [[The Apprentice (TV series)|The Apprentice]], until [http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/nbc-officially-fires-donald-trump-celebrity-apprentice he got kicked out] for his [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/election-2016-donald-trump-defends-calling-mexican-immigrants-rapists/ controversial opinions] about Mexican immigrants.<ref>{{quote|"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems...they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."|'''Donald Trump''', in his presidential campaign announcement, June 16, 2015}}</ref>
In [[The Seventies]], Trump inherited his real estate business from his father Fredrick (rechristening it "The Trump Organization", natch). Following a five-year apprenticeship under his dad, Donald relocated to New York City to begin his career in earnest. He went on to gather up Manhattan's most profitable properties like so many vacant ''[[Monopoly (game)|Monopoly]]'' squares.
Line 39:
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: The perception, at least, that he and his public pronouncements possessed this quality is a reason why many supporters voted for him, especially those who opposed what they considered [[Political Correctness Gone Mad|political correctness]].
* [[Calvin Ball]]: Trump would ignore many "rules" for running a successful campaign and win anyways.
** He completely ignored the "rule" that a campaign should "never put a candidate in a hat if you can avoid it" <ref>One notable violation leading to failure was Dukakis wearing a tank commander helmet and looking horrible in it, providing Bush Sr. with material for successful ads against him.</ref> and not only made his "Make America Great Again" hat iconic, but successfully wore a hard hat when accepting an endorsement from West Virginia Coal Association <ref>
** Trump was the first major party candidate in 40 years not to release his income tax return. He claims an ongoing audit prevented him from doing so.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "You're fired." Inverted regularly in the season finales of ''[[The Apprentice (TV series)|The Apprentice]]'', when he announces "You're hired."
