Donald Trump (2015)

**Donald John Trump** (sündinud [14. juunil](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/14._juuni)
[1946](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/1946) [Queensis](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens)
[New Yorgis](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York)) on [Ameerika Ühendriikide](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriigid)
suurettevõtja ja poliitik, alates [20. jaanuarist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/20._jaanuar)
[2025](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025) 47. [Ameerika Ühendriikide president](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_president).
Aastatel 2017–2021 oli ta 45. Ameerika Ühendriikide president. Ta on alates 2012.
aastast USA [Vabariikliku Partei](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vabariiklik_Partei_(USA))
liige.

Trumpi peetakse üheks vastuolulisemaks poliitikuks Ameerika Ühendriikide ajaloos.
Ta on esimene president USA ajaloos, kellel valituks osutudes ei olnud varasemat
töökogemust ei poliitilistel ametikohtadel ega sõjaväes.^([[1]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-bKF4d-1))
Trump on esimene USA president, kelle vastu on kaks korda algatatud tagandamismenetlus(_
[impeachment](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment)_). Presidendi ametist teda
tagandatud ei ole.

Ta on [Grover Clevelandi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Cleveland) järel 
teine president USA ajaloos, kellel õnnestus pärast vahepealset valimiskaotust uuesti
presidendiks valituks saada. Kahe ametiaja vahelisel ajal, 2024. aastal tehti valimiskampaania
üritusel Trumpile [mõrvakatse](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trumpi_mõrvakatse)
ning temast sai (pärast [1981. aasta atentaati](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atentaat_Ronald_Reaganile)
[Ronald Reaganile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan)) USA ajaloos teine
president, kes on pärast tulirelvaga sooritatud [atentaati](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atentaat)
ellu jäänud.

Trump oli 2017. aastal seni vanim ametisse astunud Ameerika Ühendriikide president:
ametisse astumise päeval oli tema vanus 70 aastat ja 239 päeva. Senine rekord 69
aastat ja 349 päeva kuulus [Ronald Reaganile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan).
2021. aastal Trumpi mantlipärijaks saanud [Joe Biden](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden)
oli ametisse astudes 78 aastat ja 61 päeva vana. 2025. aasta jaanuaris taas ametisse
astudes sai Trump 78 aasta ja 220 päeva vanuselt uuesti vanimaks ametisse astunud
USA presidendiks.

Trump lõpetas 1968. aastal [Pennsylvania ülikooli](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_ülikool)
Whartoni ärikooli bakalaureusekraadiga majandusteaduses.^([[2]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-even-in-co-2))
1971. aastal sai temast perekonna kinnisvaraäri president. Ta nimetas selle ümber
[The Trump Organizationiks](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trump_Organization)
ning hakkas omandama ja ehitama [pilvelõhkujaid](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilvelõhkuja),
hotelle, [kasiinosid](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasiino) ja [golfiväljakuid](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf).
Ta oli kuni 2017. aastani selle [konglomeraadi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konglomeraat_(ettevõte))
juht ja president ning on hotelli- ja hasartmänguketi [Trump Entertainment Resorts](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Entertainment_Resorts?action=edit&redlink=1)
asutaja. Hoolimata päritud varandusest ja mitmest [maksejõuetusest](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maksejõuetus)
kinnisvaraäris sai temast eduka ärimehe võrdkuju. Pärast kuut äripankrotti 1990.
ja 2000. aastatel alustas ta kõrvalprojekte.

Aastatel 2001–2009 oli Trump USA [Demokraatliku Partei](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demokraatlik_Partei_(USA))
liige. 2004. aastal ostis ta [Floridas](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida) krundi
koos mõisaga 41 miljoni dollari eest.^([[3]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-:1-3))
Ta müüs selle 2008. aastal [Venemaa](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venemaa) oligarhile
[Dmitri Rõbolovlevile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitri_Rõbolovlev?action=edit&redlink=1)
95 miljoni dollari eest.^([[3]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-:1-3))
Aastatel 2004–2015 juhtis ta teleprodutsendi ja saatejuhina tõsielusarja "[Mantlipärija](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantlipärija)",
millega sai ka rahvusvaheliselt tuntuks.

2012. aastast kuulub Trump USA Vabariiklikku Parteisse ja selle partei kandidaadina
võitis ta (partei juhtkonda mittekuuluva "poliitilise autsaiderina") [2016. aasta presidendivalimised](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016._aasta_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidendivalimised)
demokraat [Hillary Clintoni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton) vastu.
Valimiskampaanias oli pettusi; Trumpi kampaania sai väidetavalt seadusvastast toetust
[Venemaalt](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venemaa), mis tõi hiljem kaasa nn [Muelleri juurdluse](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muelleri_juurdlus?action=edit&redlink=1)
ning vanglakaristuse nii mõnelegi Trumpi kampaaniameeskonna liikmele.

2016. aasta valimiskampaanias äratas Trump tähelepanu lihtsa kõnestiiliga, provotseerivate
ütlustega ja radikaalsete ettepanekutega. Kuigi talle tehti etteheiteid [seksismis](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seksism)
ja ta rääkis ka ilmseid ebatõdesid, aitas valimisvõidule kaasa see, et tal õnnestus
end esitada kui lihtsate inimeste ja Ameerika traditsiooniliste evangeelsete kristlaste
eestkõnelejat. Tema poliitikastiil, mida nimetatakse [trumpismiks](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpism),
on segu [populismist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism), [konservatismist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konservatism),
[libertarismist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarism), [protektsionismist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protektsionism),
[majanduslikust liberalismist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majanduslik_liberalism),
[natsionalismist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natsionalism) ja [isolatsionismist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolatsionism).

[Trumpi esimesel ametiajal](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trumpi_esimene_presidentuur?action=edit&redlink=1)
puhkenud mitmete skandaalide seas oli tema katse teha relvaabi [Ukrainale](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraina)
sõltuvaks juurdlusest [Joe Bideni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden) poja
[Hunter Bideni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden) vastu (Joe Biden oli
Trumpi konkurent [2020. aasta presidendivalimistel](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020._aasta_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidendivalimised)).
Selle tõttu avas [Esindajatekoda](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_Esindajatekoda)
detsembris 2019 [esimese tagandamismenetluse](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trumpi_esimene_impeachment)
süüdistusega [võimu kuritarvitamises](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Võimu_kuritarvitamine?action=edit&redlink=1)
ja [Kongressi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_Kongress) töö
takistamises. [Teine tagandamismenetlus](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trumpi_teine_impeachment?action=edit&redlink=1)
algatati mässu õhutamise süüdistusega jaanuaris 2021, mõned päevad pärast [Kapitooliumi ründamist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_Kapitooliumi_ründamine)
Trumpi toetavate meeleavaldajate poolt. Mõlemad menetlused lõppesid õigeksmõistmisega
[senatis](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_Senat), kus vabariiklastel
oli enamus. Ent Kongressi uurimiskomisjon, kus demokraatidel oli enamus, jõudis 
detsembris 2022 järeldusele, et Kapitooliumi ründamine oli algatatud Trumpi poolt
eesmärgiga jääda seadusvastaselt võimule. Järgmise administratsiooni poolt ametisse
seatud eriprokurör jõudis sama tulemuseni ja algatas augustis 2023 Trumpi vastu 
kriminaalmenetluse. Samal kuul süüdistasid [Georgia](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia)
osariigi võimud Trumpi valimiste mõjutamise katses. Juba märtsis 2023 oli teda kahtlustatud
äridokumentide võltsimises ([The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_of_the_State_of_New_York_v._Donald_J._Trump?action=edit&redlink=1))
ja juunis süüdistatud salajaste dokumentide varguses ([Donald Trumpi föderaalne kriminaaljälitus salajaste dokumentidega ümberkäimise eeskirjade rikkumise asjas](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trumpi_föderaalne_kriminaaljälitus_salajaste_dokumentidega_ümberkäimise_eeskirjade_rikkumise_asjas?action=edit&redlink=1)).

[Esimesel ametiajal](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trumpi_esimene_presidentuur?action=edit&redlink=1)
andis Trump välja [täitevkorralduse 13769](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Täitevkorraldus_13769?action=edit&redlink=1),
mis keelas riiki sisenemise kuue islamienamusega riigi kodanikele, laiendas [Mehhiko ja Ameerika Ühendriikide piiritara](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehhiko_ja_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_piiritara?action=edit&redlink=1)
ja viis ellu [Trumpi administratsiooni perekondade lahutamise](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpi_administratsiooni_perekondade_lahutamise?action=edit&redlink=1)
poliitikat. Välispoliitikas ütles Trump lahti lepetest kliima, kaubanduse ja Iraani
tuumaprogrammi kohta, alustas [Hiina-Ameerika kaubandussõda](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiina-Ameerika_kaubandussõda?action=edit&redlink=1)
ning kohtus Põhja-Korea riigijuhi [Kim Chŏng-uniga](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Chŏng-un),
saavutamata kokkulepet tuumarelvast loobumise kohta. Ta pisendas [koroonapandeemia](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koroonapandeemia)
tõsidust, vaidles terviseametnikega ja kirjutas alla [CARES Actile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/CARES_Act?action=edit&redlink=1).
Pärast esimest ametiaega hinnati ta [Ameerika Ühendriikide presidentide ajaloolistes reitingutes](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidentide_ajaloolised_reitingud?action=edit&redlink=1)
halvimaks presidendiks USA ajaloos.

Paljusid Trumpi kommentaare ja tegusid on nimetatud rassiliselt koormatuks, rassistlikuks
või misogüünseks. Kui Trump kaotas [2020. aasta presidendivalimised](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020._aasta_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidendivalimised)
[Joe Bidenile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden), püüdis ta [valimiste tulemusi ümber pöörata](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsed_2020._aasta_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidendivalimiste_tulemusi_ümber_pöörata?action=edit&redlink=1),
mis tipnes [Kapitooliumi ründamisega](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_Kapitooliumi_ründamine).
2023. aastal mõisteti tema ettevõte The Trump Organization süüdi äripettuses ([New Yorgi osariigi äripettuskohtuasi The Trump Organizationi vastu](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yorgi_osariigi_äripettuskohtuasi_The_Trump_Organizationi_vastu?action=edit&redlink=1)).
2024. aastal mõistis esimese astme kohus Trumpi süüdi äridokumentide võltsimises(
[The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_of_the_State_of_New_York_v._Donald_J._Trump?action=edit&redlink=1)),
kuid kohtuotsus ei jõustunud ja Trump kaebas selle edasi. Kui Trump oli võitnud 
[2024. aasta presidendivalimised](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024._aasta_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidendivalimised)
[Kamala Harrise](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris) vastu, jäeti ta kohtuotsusega
karistuseta ning veel [kaks süüdistust](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohtulikud_süüdistused_Donald_Trumpi_vastu?action=edit&redlink=1)
rasketes kuritegudes lükati tagasi.

Hoolimata skandaalidest ja kohtuasjadest nimetati Trump 2024. aasta presidendivalimisteks
uuesti vabariiklaste kandidaadiks. Ühel kampaaniaüritusel juulis 2024 [Pennsylvania](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania)
osariigis pani üks mees tulirelva abil toime [atentaadi Trumpile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trumpi_mõrvakatse).
Trump pääses kerge vigastusega paremas kõrvas. Novembris 2024 õnnestus tal presidendivalimised
Demokraatliku Partei kandidaadi Kamala Harrise vastu võita.

Donald Trump on [Grover Clevelandi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Cleveland)
järel teine president USA ajaloos, kellel õnnestus pärast vahepealset valimiskaotust
uuesti presidendiks valituks saada.

Trump alustas [oma teist ametiaega](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trumpi_teine_presidentuur)
sellega, et ta [andis armu umbes 1500 Kapitooliumi ründajale](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapitooliumi_ründajatele_armuandmine?action=edit&redlink=1),
algatas [Ameerika Ühendriikide föderaalametnike massilised vallandamised](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_föderaalametnike_massilised_vallandamised?action=edit&redlink=1)

Trump on laialdaselt kasutanud [täitevkorraldusi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Täitevkorraldus),
mis on toonud kaasa arvukalt hagisid, mis vaidlustavad nende seaduslikkust.

2016. aastal hinnati tema varanduse väärtuseks 4,5 miljardit [USD](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/USD).

Perekonnas olid veel vanem õde Elizabeth ja noorem vend [Robert Trump](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Trump?action=edit&redlink=1).

## Lapsepõlv, noorpõlv ja õpingud

Donald Trump sündis 1946. aastal [New Yorgi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York)
[Queensi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens) linnaosas [Jamaica haiglas](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_Hospital_Medical_Center?action=edit&redlink=1)
[Fred Trumpi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump) ja [Mary Anne MacLeod Trumpi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Anne_MacLeod_Trump?action=edit&redlink=1)
neljanda lapsena viiest.

Donald kasvas üles koos vanemate õdede-vendade Maryanne'i, Fred juuniori ja Elizabethi
ning noorema venna Robertiga Queensi linnaosas [Jamaica Estatesi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_Estates?action=edit&redlink=1)
asumis.^([[24]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-24)) (Alates
ajast, mil Trump oli kolmeaastane, kinkis isa igale lapsele igal aastal 6000 dollarit,
mis oli maksimaalne summa, mida sai ilma kinkemaksuta kinkida. Maksude vältimiseks
tegi Fred nad kahe oma elamuarenduse rendileandjateks ning maksis igaühele igal 
aastal 13 928 dollarit renti.^([[25]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-25))

Kui Donald Trump 1946 sündis, oli elamuehitus, mille alal tema isa Fred ettevõtjana
tegutses, sügavas kriisis. Nimelt valitses pärast rohkem kui 6 000 000 sõduri tagasitulekut

jaoks, millele Fred Trump oli sõja ajal spetsialiseerunud, liiga kõrged.^([[26]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-26))

Kui president [Harry Truman](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Truman) oli elamuehituse
elavdamiseks tunduvalt parandanud riiklikku edendust [Federal Housing Administrationi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Housing_Administration?action=edit&redlink=1)

teeninud, 1947. aastal [Brooklynis](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn) 1344
üürikorteriga suurprojekti Shore Haven, millele ajakirjandus pani nimeks Trump City.

Donald Trump nagu pere teisedki lapsed õppis Queensis [Kew-Forest Schooli](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kew-Forest_School?action=edit&redlink=1)
erakoolis. Koolis kehtisid ranged reeglid nagu vanematekoduski, aga Donald ei lasknud
end taltsutada ja jäi sellepärast sageli peale tunde. Häid tulemusi näitas ta spordis,
eriti pallimängudes. Tema lemmikala oli siis [pesapall](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pesapall),
mille mitteametlik pealinn oli juba 1950. aastate keskel New York oma kolme tippklubiga.
Trump õppis Kew-Foresti erakoolis seitsmenda klassini.^([[29]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-29))

Seal valitses range distsipliin: Donald Trump pidi loobuma igasugusest luksusest
ja päritolu ei andnud talle mingeid privileege. Trump kohanes ja esimest korda tekkis
temas ka auahnus saavutamaks häid akadeemilisi tulemusi. Pesapallis sai temast meeskonna
kapten, millega seoses pääses ta esimest korda ajalehepealkirja: _Trump Wins Game

## Tegevus ärimehena

### Kinnisvaraäri alustamine

Donald Trumpi isa oli elamute ehitamisega New Yorgi [Brooklyni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn)
ja [Queensi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens) linnaosas ning [Virginia](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia)
osariigis [Norfolkis](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk_(Virginia)) saanud multimiljonäriks.
^([[38]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-nyt-38)) Donald Trump
töötas juba õpingute kõrvalt isa ettevõttes Trump Management ning sai pärast ülikooli
lõpetamist 1968 tänu sõjaväeteenistusest vabastamisele täie jõuga tööle hakata. 
Juba 1971. aastal võttis ta ärijuhtimise üle, kuna 65-aastane isa asus ettevõtte
esimehe kohale. Nüüd vastutas Donald 14 000 üürikorteri eest, millest paljud olid
üüritud madalapalgalistele.^([[39]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-39))

Miljöö, millega Donald Trumpil nüüd tuli tegemist teha, kui ta pidi näiteks üürivõlgu
sisse nõudma, oli talle võõras ja ebameeldiv. Ta ise elas luksuslikes ja korrastatud
oludes Queensis ning oli Wharton Schoolis olnud ümbritsetud alustavate ärimeestega,
kellest paljud pärinesid palju rikkamatest perekondadest kui ta ise. Tema eesmärk
oli kinnitada kanda Manhattanil, sestap üüris ta 1971 endale korteri [Upper East Side](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_East_Side)'
is. Laiemale avalikkusele tuntuks sai ta esimest korda siiski mitte edu tõttu ettevõtluses,
vaid süüdistatavana [rassilises diskrimineerimises](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rassism).
16. oktoobril 1973 ilmus tema nimi [New York Timesi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times)
ja teiste ajalehtede esikülgedele, kus tema ettevõtet Trump Management süüdistati
[afroameeriklaste](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afroameeriklased) süstemaatilises
[diskrimineerimises](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskrimineerimine) üürnike valikul.
^([[40]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-40))

Ulatuslik [rassiline segregatsioon](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rassiline_segregatsioon?action=edit&redlink=1)
üürimajakomplekside asustamisel oli olnud ammune praktika, mis ei olnud karistatav.
[Federal Housing Administration](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Housing_Administration?action=edit&redlink=1),
mille pädevuses oli elamuehituse riiklik edendamine oli isegi soovitanud vältida"
ebaharmoonilist" asustamist, ent 1968 oli jõustunud "[Fair Housing Act](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Housing_Act?action=edit&redlink=1)",
mis sellise diskrimineerimise kogu riigis keelustas. New Yorgis saadeti seepeale
välja mustanahalisi ja valgeid testisikuid, kes pidid kandideerima samadele korteritele.
Trumpi ettevõte paistis silma eriti negatiivselt. Töötajad ütlesid, et on saanud
range juhtnööri mustanahalised huvilised tagasi lükata või lubada neid ainult korteritesse,
mis on nende jaoks ette nähtud.^([[41]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-41))

Et süüdistati ka Donald Trumpi ja tema isa isiklikult, pöördusid nad advokaadibüroos,
kust neile soovitati [kokkuleppemenetlust](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokkuleppemenetlus),
millega nad väldiksid karistust. Selleasemel pöördus Donald Trump maineka advokaadi
[Roy Cohni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Cohn?action=edit&redlink=1) poole,
sest talle oli silma jäänud Cohni [avalik kiri](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalik_kiri?action=edit&redlink=1)
[Spiro Agnew](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Agnew)'le, kes oli süüdistuste
tõttu [maksupettuses](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maksupettus) [USA asepresidendi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_asepresident)
kohalt tagasi astunud. Kirjas heitis Cohn Agnew'le ette julgusepuudust ja kutsus
kirglikult üles end sellistel juhtudel kaitsma, nagu ta ise oli korduvalt edukalt
teinud. Cohn, kes [makartismi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makartism) ajastul 
oli omandanud kahtlase kuulsuse [Joseph McCarthy](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy)
parema käena, aga oli tolleks ajaks jõudnud New Yorgi kõige mõjukamate inimeste 
hulka, nõustus Trumpi kaitsma. Protsess kestis kaks aastat ja lõppes 1975 kokkuleppega,
millega Trump kohustus omal kulul kohalikus ajakirjanduses kuulutama, et kõikidest
rassidest inimesed on Trumpi korterite üürnikena teretulnud. Selles nägi üldsus 
vähemuste võitu.^([[42]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-42))

[Grand Hyatt](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Grand_Central_New_York?action=edit&redlink=1)
New Yorgis, Donald Trumpi esimene ehitusprojekt

Sel ajal oli New Yorgi linn raskes kriisis. Selliste elamuehitusprojektide edendamine,
mis olid seni olnud Trumpi põhiäri, lõpetati 1975 rahapuudusel. Aga Donald Trump
nägi kriisis šanssi omaenda plaanidele Manhattanile. Pankrotti läinud raudteekorporatsiooni
[Penn Central](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_Central?action=edit&redlink=1)
likvideerimise raames olid Manhattanil müüki pandud suured maa-alad ning neli omal
ajal mainekat hotelli. Ühele neist hotellidest, laostunud 62-korruselisele Commodorele(
praegu [Hyatt Grand Central New York](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Grand_Central_New_York?action=edit&redlink=1)
ei olnud huvilisi. Et Donald Trump oli selles äris uustulnuk ja tal puudusid oma
kapital ja vajalikud kontaktid, olid tal esialgu halvad väljavaated. Isa oli väga
skeptiline, aga toetas teda siiski. Louise Sunshine, kes oli [kogunud annetusi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annetuste_kogumine?action=edit&redlink=1)
[New Yorgi osariigi kubernerile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yorgi_osariigi_kuberner?action=edit&redlink=1)
[Hugh Careyle](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Carey) ning leidnud Fred Trumpi
näol ühe suurema annetaja, hankis talle vajalikud kontaktid. Hotellikett [Hyatt](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt?action=edit&redlink=1)
oli hotelli võimaliku pidajana pärast selle restaureerimist ja restaureerimist projektist
huvitatud, sest neil ei olnud New Yorgis veel hotelli. Penn Centralile kinnitas 
Trump, et tal on juba kokkulepe Hyattiga, kuigi tal seda veel polnud. Seepeale andis
korporatsioon Trumpile ostueesõiguse tingimusel, et ta teeb avansina sissemakse 
250 000 USA dollarit. Seda raha Donald Trumpil ei olnud; juba honorari arhitekt 
[Der Scuttile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Scutt?action=edit&redlink=1) pidi
isa kinni maksma. Sellegipoolest kinnitas Trump linnale, millelt ta projektile luba
vajas, et tal on juba leping Penn Centraliga, ja sai seepeale loa, kuigi teistelt
kandidaatidelt oli tulnud paremaid pakkumisi. Isa isiklikul käendusega vajalikele
laenudele õnnestus tal lõpuks omandada hoone Hyattiga võrdsetes osades kahasse ja
1980 modernne esimese klassi hotell valmis saada. Lisaks andis [New Yorgi linnapea](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yorgi_linnapea),
Fred Trumpi vana sõber [Abraham D. Beame](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_D._Beame?action=edit&redlink=1)
1977 oma ametiaja viimasel päeval Donald Trumpile maksuvabastuse, mis säästis talle
kuni 2017. aastani hinnanguliselt 400 miljonit USA dollarit. See oli esimene omataoline
erandluba eraprojektile New Yorgi ajaloos.^([[43]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-43))

kõrval. Oma abikaasa võttis ta varsti ettevõtte asepresidendiks. Ivana vastutas

kuninga vastuvõtul Valges majas 1985

Järgmise projekti, esindusliku [Trump Toweri](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Tower)
jaoks omandas Trump vana kaubamaja [Fifth Avenuel](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Avenue),
et selle krunti kasutada. Ta laskis hoone _[art déco](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_déco)_
stiilis fassaadi skulptuurid hävitada, kuigi oli lubanud anda need maksust vabastatava
annetuse kviitungi vastu [Metropolitani Kunstimuuseumile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitani_Kunstimuuseum).
See tõi kaasa ajakirjanduse kriitika. Ehitusolukorra tõttu väga kulukatel lammutustöödel
kasutas ta arvukalt illegaalseid Poola immigrante, kes pidid töötama väga halbades
tingimustes ja väikese tasu eest. Et uue hoone ehitamist kiirendada, kasutas Trump–
nagu paljud tema konkurendidki tol ajal – ettevõtteid ja [ametiühinguid](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ametiühing),
mis olid [maffia](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maffia) kontrolli all ja millega
tema advokaat Cohn oli heades suhetes. Nii jäi Trump Toweri ehitus 1982. aasta streigilainest
puutumata. Kui hoone 1983 sissekolimisvalmis sai, olid kulud 266 korteri müügiga
juba tasa. Ostjate seas olid [Steven Spielberg](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Spielberg)
ja [Michael Jackson](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson). Viiekorruselise
[aatriumi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aatrium) ärisid renditi kuni miljoni USA
dollari eest aastas. 26. korrusele seadis Trump sisse oma büroo ja laskis kolm ülemist
korrust välja ehitada üliluksuslikuks 53 toaga [katusekorteriks](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katusekorter?action=edit&redlink=1)
oma viieliikmeliseks kasvanud perekonnale.^([[45]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-45))

See Trumpi nime kandev hoone tegi ta kuulsaks ka väljaspool New Yorki. Sellega kasvas
ka tema krediidivõime, nii et ta sai 1985 omandada [Mar-a-Lago](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lago)
häärberi viie miljoni [USA dollari](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_dollar) eest–
kaugelt alla turuhinna.^([[46]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-46))

esikaanel ning ajakirja omanik [Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr.](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Irving_Newhouse_Jr.?action=edit&redlink=1)
tegi Trumpile ettepaneku, et Newhouse'i kirjastuses [Random House](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_House?action=edit&redlink=1)
ilmuks tema nimel kirjutatud raamat. [Variautori](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variautor)
kirjutatud raamatust "[The Art of the Deal](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_the_Deal?action=edit&redlink=1)"
sai 1987 [bestseller](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bestseller).^([[47]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-47))
Variautor ütles hiljem, et see raamat oli tema elu suurim viga ja ta annetab selle
eest saadava sissetuleku ära.^([[48]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-48))

Trumpi tollase lähiringi inimesed ütlevad, et Trumpi käitumine neil aastatel muutus.
Varem oli ta oma kaastöölistele alati kättesaadav, nüüd aga ümbritses ta end inimestega,
kes talle aplodeerisid ega vaielnud vastu. Nende seas oli ka kolm ihukaitsjat. Peale
selle tekkis tal kalduvus raevuhoogudele.^([[49]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-49))

Teiselt poolt tekkis tal suur huvi selle vastu, mida tema kohta teatatakse. Tal 
tekkis harjumus lugeda igal hommikul läbi kõik see, mis tema kohta on kirjutatud
või öeldud. Ajakirjanike järelepärimistele vastas ta ise, sageli kohe. Ta püüdis
meediakajastust positiivsete impulssidega või ka juriidiliste tagajärgede ähvardustega
mõjutada. Ta pidas silmas ka oma äride edendamist, aga eelkõige soovis ta endale
võimalikult palju tähelepanu tõmmata. Et [tabloidajakirjandusele](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabloidajakirjandus)
tundus varsti kõik teatamisväärne, millel tema või Ivanaga pistmist oli, hakkas 
ta – sageli valenime (näiteks „John Barron“) asjassepühendatuna esinedes – kuulujutte
levitama. Ja ta sai palju [fänne](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fänn) eelkõige [sinikraede](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinikrae)
seas, kes nägid temas ühte endi hulgast, kes on kuskile välja jõudnud, ja immigrantide
seas, kelle silmis ta oli [Ameerika unistuse](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_unistus?action=edit&redlink=1)

Trump Taj Mahal Atlantic Citys

Trump tahtis teha [kasiino](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasiino) juba Grand Hyattisse,
[Spielcasino](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spielbank?action=edit&redlink=1), kuid
tema katsed saavutada [hasartmängude](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasartmäng) 
legaliseerimist New Yorgis ei andnud tulemust. Aastal 1977 legaliseeriti hasartmängud
naaberosariigis [New Jerseys](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey). Trump omandas
litsentsi kolmele kasiinole [Atlantic Citys](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_City)
ning rajas linna seniajani kõige kõrgema hoone, 39-korruselise Trump Plaza Hotel&
Casino, mis valmis 1984. Aastal 1985 omandas ta [Hiltoni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilton_Worldwide)
korporatsioonilt veel ühe hoone, sest Hilton ei saanud kasiinodele litsentsi. Ta
pani sellele nimeks Trump Castle Hotel & Casino ja andis selle kõikide üllatuseks
juhtida oma abikaasale Ivanale. Kasiinoäri kasum jäi aga Trumpi ootustele kaugelt
alla ja vähenes. Aastal 1988 oli Trump Castle koguni kahjumis. Seepeale vabastas
Trump abikaasa selle juhtimisest.^([[52]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-52))

Ka Trump Plaza kasiino puhul süüdistas Trump operaatorfirmat [Harrah’s](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesars_Entertainment?action=edit&redlink=1)
[Las Vegas](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas), halvas juhtmises.^([[53]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-53))
Ta oli veendunud, et kolmanda, veel suurema tema nime kandva kasiinohotelliga suudab
ta idaranniku kasiinoturgu valitseda. Sellepärast omandas ta 1987 poolelioleva Taj
Mahali. Tal olid suured võlad ja oma imestuseks ei saanud ta selle valmisehitamiseks
enam regulaarseid krediite. Sellepärast kasutas ta [kõrge intressiga võlakirju](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kõrge_intressiga_võlakiri?action=edit&redlink=1).
^([[54]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-54))

Hoolimata kasvavatest finantsprobleemidest omandas Trump 1988 veel lennuseltsi, 
mille tarvis ta võttis veel krediiti. 365 miljoni USA dollari eest omandas ta [Eastern Air Linesi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines?action=edit&redlink=1)
koos 21 lennukiga [Boeing 727](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_727), mille 
mitte enam rentaablid lennuliinid ühendasid New Yorki, Washingtoni ja [Bostonit](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston).
Tema idee oli vanad lennukid luksuslikult sisustada ning sellega liinid jälle rentaabliks
teha. Ta lasi lennukitesse ehitada nahkistmed, vahtrapuust [spoonid](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon)
ja [kroomist](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroom) raamid ning varustada tualettruumid
kullatud kraanikaussidega, mis läks igas lennukis maksma miljon USA dollarit. Kui
juunis 1989 [Trump Shuttle](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Shuttle?action=edit&redlink=1)'
i nime all lennuliiklust alustati, oli lennufirma – peamiselt võlakoorma tõttu –
algusest peale kahjumis.^([[55]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-55))

10. oktoobril 1989, mõni kuu enne Taj Mahali kavandatud avamist, hukkusid kopteriõnnetuses
kolm Trumpi tähtsamat abilist kasiinode alal. Trump oli sellest nii puudutatud, 
nagu tema töötajad ei olnud kunagi näinud, ja ta nimetas seda hiljem kõige raskemaks
üleelamiseks. Ta helistas isiklikult lahkunute omastele ning võttis osa nende matustest.
^([[56]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-56)) Kaks nädalat
pärast Taj Mahali avamist ilmus [Wall Street Journali](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_Journal)
artikkel, milles toodi ära analüütik Marvin Roffmani prognoos, et kasiinohotellil
tuleb mõnekuine buum, aga ta ei pea pikas perspektiivis vastu, sest Atlantic Citys
ei ole piisavat nõudlust. Trump reageeris kohe [faksiga](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faks)
Roffmani firmale, nõudes juriidiliste sammudega ähvardades Roffmani kohest vallandamist
või vabandust. Peale selle helistas ta isiklikult Roffmanile ning käis talle peale,
et ta kirjutaks artikli, milles ta ütleb, et Taj Mahalil hakkab minema väga hästi.
Firma juhtkond sundis Roffmani kirjutama alla õiendusele ja seejärel vallandas ta.

Taji avamine aprillis 1990 kavandati nädalapikkuse grandioosse üritusena. Saabus
üle 100 000 külastaja ning kulminatsioonis esines Trump koos staarkülalise Michael
Jacksoniga. Selle, et kasiino oli teisel ja kolmandal päeval pädeva ametiasutuse
poolt suletud, sest suur hulk žetoone oli kadunud, suutis Trump väitega, et ootamatult
suure külastajate arvu tõttu ei tuldud žetoonide ülelugemisega toime, meedias enda
kasuks pöörata. Kulisside taga oli ta aga väga vihane ja süüdistas tekkinud kaoses
muu hulgas kahte kolmest hiljuti hukkunud töötajast.^([[58]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-58))

Trump oli äriliselt tegev ka profi[poksis](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poks). 
Juunis 1990 omandas ta õigused ühe [Mike Tysoni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Tyson)
matši korraldamiseks Atlantic Citys.^([[59]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-59))
Juba 1988 oli ta samas linnas korraldanud Tysoni ja [Michael Spinksi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Spinks?action=edit&redlink=1)

USA dollarit.^([[60]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-60))

Nende paljude võlausaldajate ühendus, kellega ta oli kevadest saadik läbirääkimisi
pidanud, jõudis järeldusele, et kui nad laseks Trumpil pankrotti minna, siis kaotaksid
kõik, sest eriti kasiinod peaksid ilma Trumpi nimeta vaevalt vastu. Augustis 1990
andsid nad talle vajalikud täiendavad krediidid ning omandasid vastutasuks [pandiõiguse](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandiõigus)
suurele osale tema varast, sealhulgas kolmele kasiinole, häärberile Mar-a-Lago, 
[jahtlaevale](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahtlaev) [Trump Princess](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_5KR?action=edit&redlink=1)

kelle ülesanne oli The Trump Organizationi rahaasjad korda teha.^([[62]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-62))

Detsembris 1990 kasutas Donald Trump jälle isa toetust: 85-aastane Fred Tuump ostis
oma kingituse pantimise vältimiseks Trump Castle'ile 3,5 miljoni USA dollari eest
žetoone, mida ei võetud kunagi kasutusele. Sel ajal oli _Castle_ tema kasiinodest
kõige ohtlikumas seisus, sest kliendid läksid üle Taj Mahali, ning juba kolm võlgade
teenindamise arvet olid tähtaja ületanud.^([[64]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-64))

Aastal 1995 asutas Trump, kes oli ikka veel suurtes võlgades, [aktsiaseltsi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktsiaselts)
ja [läks sellega börsile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktsiate_esmane_avalik_pakkumine).
Nii said investorid osa arvatavalt edukast "Trumpi margist", sellal kui ta ise juhtis
ärisid ja sai igal aastal miljonites hüvitist. Aktsiaselts omas alguses ainult Trump
Plazat Atlantic Citys, kuid ostis järgmisel aastal liialdatud hinnaga ka kaks ülejäänud
suurtes võlgades kasiinohotelli. Nii tekkis aktsiaseltsil vastu aktsionäride ootusi
1,7 miljardi USA dollari suurune võlg, samal ajal kui Trumpi märgiti pärast 1989.
aastat esimest korda jälle Forbesi kõige rikkamate ameeriklaste nimekirjas. Hiljem
oli aktsiaselts võlgade teenindamise tõttu aasta-aastalt kahjumis. [Börsikurss](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Börsikurss?action=edit&redlink=1),
mis 1996. aastal oli jõudnud kõrgeima väärtuseni 35 USA dollarit, langes 2005. aastaks
17 sendini. Siis kauplemine lõpetati ja kokkuleppe alusel hüvitas Trump aktsionäridele
osa kaotustest. Kuni 2009. aastani sai ta ärijuhina hüvitusi kokku 44 miljonit USA
dollarit. Arvestamata suurtes võlgades kasiinosid, mis ei olnud kunagi kasumlikud,
tõusis ta ka ametlikult jälle miljardäriks.^([[66]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-66))

### Teleesinemised: "Mantlipärija" ja elukutseliste maadlus

Pärast 1990. aastate kriisi ei olnud Trumpi mark enam nii plekitu nagu enne, aga
just kuvand oli ta päästnud. Nüüd avanes tal võimalus oma mainet tunduvalt parandada.
2002. aastal pöördus tema poole teleprodutsent [Mark Burnett](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Burnett?action=edit&redlink=1)
ja tutvustas [tõsielusarja](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tõsielusari?action=edit&redlink=1)"
[Mantlipärija](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantlipärija)" ideed. Trump pidi olema
selles staar, kelle tegemiste ümber kõik keerleb. Trump ei olnud tõsielusarjade 
vastu kunagi huvi tundnud, kuid laskis end kiiresti veenda, et Burnetti projekt 
pakub tohutuid võimalusi teha Trumpi mark veel tuntumaks ja populaarsemaks. Burnett
lubas Trumpile, et sarja igale osale kulub tal aega ainult paar tundi, ja Trump 
nõudis, et igas osas näidataks tema eralennukit ja Taj Mahali. Tehing oli esimese
vestlusega valmis, ilma et ta oleks kellegagi nõu pidanud. Ja ta kindlustas endale
50-protsendilise osaluse projektis. ^([[67]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-67))

Telesarja tootma hakkava produktsioonifirma leidmine osutus Burnettil raskeks, seda
enam et Trump keeldus koostööst [CBS Corporationiga](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS_Corporation?action=edit&redlink=1),
sest see oli varem kaotanud huvi tema korraldatud iludusvõistluste [Miss USA](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_USA?action=edit&redlink=1)
ja [Miss Universum](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Universum) vastu. Lõpuks 
sai Burnett kokkuleppele [NBC](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC)-ga, kes hindas
teda kui tõsielusarja "[Survivor](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor?action=edit&redlink=1)"
edukat produtsenti. NBC kujutluses pidi Trump sarjas esinema siiski ainult aasta
aega, edaspidi pidid talle järgnema teised tuntud ettevõtjad. Sarja idee järgi pidi
16 kandidaati konkureerima aastase töölepingu pärast The Trump Organizationiga. 
Trumpile oli ette nähtud ainult tagasihoidlik roll iga osa alguses selgitada järjekordset
ülesannet ning lõpuks teatada, milline kandidaat välja langes.^([[68]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-68))

Trump endise [korvpalluri](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korvpall) [Dennis Rodmaniga](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Rodman)
saates "The Celebrity Apprentice" (2009)

Juba esimese osa järel oli selge, et [stsenaariumi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stsenaarium)
tuleb muuta. Trump oli ilmutanud hämmastavat saatejuhiannet ning NBC vastutavad 
isikud ja ka 20 miljonit vaatajat olid tema esinemisest vaimustatud. Trump ei pidanud
kinni etteantud tekstist, nagu sellistes saadetes tavaline, vaid improviseeris algusest
peale. Tema ütlus "You're fired" ("Te olete vallandatud") ei olnud ette nähtud, 
vaid tuli spontaanselt. Aga ta näitas varsti ka teisi külgi, mõjus mõnikord mõtliku
ja ebakindlana, pidas kõrval istuvate kaastöölistega nõu ja mõnikord võttis nende
nõu kuulda. Ja ta õppis kiiresti sel moel pinget üles kruvima ja kandidaatidel tugevaid
tundeid esile kutsuma. Vaatajate arv tõusis esimese hooaja jooksul 27 miljonini.
^([[69]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-69))

Tänu "Mantlipärija" edule oli Trump varsti ka väga oodatud külaline [vestlussaadetes](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestlussaade),
kus ta hakkas rääkima poliitilistel teemadel. Tagasivaates paistab selle tõsielusarja
menu, mille staariks ta 2015. aastani jäi, eeldusena šansile saada USA presidendiks.
^([[70]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-70)) Pärast Trumpi
vastuolulisi ütlusi presidendikandidaadina juunis 2015 loobus NBC Trumpi edasisest
osalusest "Mantlipärija" saates.^([[71]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-dump-71))

Trump tegi korduvalt koostööd [professionaalse maadluse](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professionaalne_maadlus)
kontserniga [WWE](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE) (varem WWF). Aastatel 1988 
ja 1989 oli ta [WrestleMania](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania?action=edit&redlink=1)
peasponsor ja ilmus võistluste ajal ka kaamerate ette, WrestleManial XX (2004) oli
tal külalisesinemine. 2007. aastal esines Trump saates "[WWE Raw](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Raw?action=edit&redlink=1)"
ja alustas konflikti WWE omaniku [Vince McMahoniga](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon?action=edit&redlink=1),
mida nimetati miljardäride lahinguks ("The Battle of the Billionaires"). Esindajate
matšis [Bobby Lashley](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Lashley?action=edit&redlink=1)(
Trump) ja [Umaga](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umaga_(Wrestler)?action=edit&redlink=1)(

pea paljaks, nagu _[hair match](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_match?action=edit&redlink=1)_'​
is on kaotaja puhul ette nähtud. Aastal 2013 võeti [WWE kuulsuste halli](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_kuulsuste_hall?action=edit&redlink=1).
^([[72]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-72)) Ka presidendina
hoidis Trump suhteid McMahonite perekonnaga. [Linda McMahoni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_McMahon?action=edit&redlink=1)
kutsus Trump juhtima [Small Business Administrationit](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Business_Administration?action=edit&redlink=1)
ja Linda korraldas ka Trumpi [2020. aasta presidendivalimiste](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020._aasta_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidendivalimised)
kampaania rahastamist, Vince McMahoni kutsus Trump majanduse uue alguse komisjoni

### Trumpi margi turundamine

Rööbiti "Mantlipärija" esimese hooaja ettevalmistamisega alustas Trump veel üht 
projekti: ta tahtis turule tuua omanimelised meesterõivad. Suure isikliku panusega
ja oma telesarja esimese hooaja menu ära kasutades õnnestus tal anda [litsents](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litsents)
[Phillips-Van Heusenile](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/PVH_Corp.?action=edit&redlink=1),
mis tootis rõivaid muu hulgas [Calvin Kleini](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Klein)
nime all. Litsentside andmine ei toonud kaasa kulusid ega riske, tõi aga peale tema
nime kõikjaloleku, mille poole ta eelkõige püüdles, ka sissetulekuid litsentsitasude
näol. Selleks rajas ta Trump Towerisse omaette osakonna. 2016. aastaks oli välja
antud 25 litsentsi. Nende seas olid näiteks mineraalvesi Trump Ice ning parfüümid
Trump Success ja Donald Trump the Fragrance.^([[75]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-75))
2020. aastatel turundas Trump enda nime all litsentsivõtjate toodetud kollektsioonikaarte
ja tenniskingi.^([[76]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-76))
^([[77]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-77))

2002. aasta ilmus litsentseeritud videomäng "Donald Trump's Real Estate Tycoon",
mis 2010. aastatel hinnati tagasivaates väga halvaks. Siiski osteti seda ilmumise
ajal palju.^([[78]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-78))^(

## Poliitikukarjäär

Trump on kuulunud nii [Demokraatlikku](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demokraatlik_Partei_(USA))
kui ka Vabariiklikku Parteisse ning esinenud väga erinevate seisukohavõttudega. 
2000. aastal kandideeris ta [Ameerika Ühendriikide presidendiks](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_president)
[Reformipartei](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformipartei_(USA)?action=edit&redlink=1)
kandidaadina. Teda peetakse [populistiks](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism)

ja [2016. aasta Ameerika Ühendriikide presidendivalimised](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016._aasta_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidendivalimised)_

26. juunil [2015](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015) teatas ta kandideerimisest
Vabariikliku Partei presidendikandidaadi kohale. Trumpi kuulsus ja provokatiivsed
avaldused tõid talle enneolematult palju tasuta meediakajastust, tõstes tema positsiooni
Vabariikliku Partei eelvalimistel.^([[82]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-82))
Arvamusküsitlustes tõusis ta kohe populaarseimaks vabariiklaste kandidaadiks. Kampaania
jooksul esines ta teravat kriitikat ja rahvusvahelist tähelepanu pälvinud seisukohtadega.
Meediaettevõte Politico kirjeldas tema seisukohti kui "eklektilisi, improvisatsioonilisi
ja sageli vastuolulisi".^([[83]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-83))
Trump lubas kõik ebaseaduslikud immigrandid riigist välja saata, keelata islamiusulistel
sissepääs Ameerika Ühendriikidesse (hiljem täpsustas, et keelab mõnest riigist pärit
inimestel sissepääsu) ja püstitada [Mehhiko](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehhiko)

ja [Ben Carson](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Carson).

Trump keeldus presidendivalimistel oma maksudeklaratsioone avaldamast, kuigi oli
lubanud seda teha 2014. ja 2015. aastal, väites et tema maksudeklaratsioone auditeeritakse.
See oli seni kehtinud tava rikkumine, mis toimis iga presidendikandidaadi kohta 
alates 1976. aastast.^([[86]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-86))
Trump pöördus kohtusse, et blokeerida tema maksudeklaratsioonide ja muude dokumentide

### Tagandamiskatsed

2019. aastal süüdistasid poliitilised rivaalid Trumpi selles, et ta olevat survestanud
Ukraina president [Volodõmõr Zelenskõid](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volodõmõr_Zelenskõi)
uurima [Joe Bideni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden) poja [Hunter Bideni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden)
äritegevust Ukrainas. Detsembris 2019 esitas USA kongressi alamkoda Trumpile süüdistuse
võimu kuritarvitamises ja Kongressi töö takistamises ning algatas tema vastu tagandamismenetluse(_
[impeachment](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment)_). Kongressi ülemkoja (
Senati) kohtuistungil otsustati tunnistajaid tunnistama mitte kutsuda ning Trump
mõisteti veebruaris 2020 mõlemas süüdistuses õigeks.^([[97]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-Acquitted-97))

2020. aastal kaotas Trump [presidendivalimistel](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020._aasta_Ameerika_Ühendriikide_presidendivalimised)
Joe Bidenile, kuid keeldus oma kaotust tunnistamast. Hiljem üritas ta tulemusi ümber
lükata, esitades mitmeid kohtuhagisid, väidetavalt survestades riigiametnikke ning
väites alusetult, et valimistulemusi võltsiti. Hääletustulemuste kinnitamise ajal
Kongressis, kutsus Trump oma toetajaid üles minema [Kapitooliumi](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapitoolium_(Washington))
juurde. Trumpi toetajate meeleavaldus eskaleerus [Kapitooliumi ründamiseks](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameerika_Ühendriikide_Kapitooliumi_ründamine),
mis sundis hääletustulemuste kinnitamist ajutiselt katkestama. Kapitooliumi ründamisel
hukkus viis inimest, sealhulgas üks politseinik. Nädal hiljem süüdistas Kongressi
Esindajatekoda Trumpi mässu õhutamises ning algatas tema vastu taas tagandamismenetluse.
Trump on ainus president USA ajaloos, kelle suhtes on ametist tagandamise protsessi
alustatud kaks korda.^([[98]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-Impeached-98))

^([[103]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-103)) Lahutus jõustus
1992.^([[104]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-104)) Vande
all antud ütlusega võrdväärses ütluses lahutusprotsessis kinnitas Ivana Trump, et
abikaasa vägistas teda 1989. Meedia kajastas seda elavalt.^([[105]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-105))

välja.^([[106]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-106))

Ivana sai 1988. aastal [naturalisatsiooni](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalisatsioon)

ega tarvitanud [narkootikume](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narkootikum).^([[109]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-109))
Väidetavalt magab ta vaid neli-viis tundi ööpäevas. Trump peab kehalist aktiivsust
energia raiskamiseks, sest tema arvates on inimkeha "nagu [aku](https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aku),
piiratud energiahulgaga," mis kehaliste harjutuste sooritamisel ammendub kiiremini.

**Donald John Trump** (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality,
and businessman who is the 47th [president of the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States).
A member of the [Republican Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)),
he served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021.

Born into a wealthy New York City family, Trump graduated from the [University of Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Pennsylvania)
in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in economics. He became the president of his family's
real estate business in 1971, renamed it [the Trump Organization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trump_Organization),
and began acquiring and building skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses.
He launched side ventures, many licensing the Trump name, and filed for six business
bankruptcies in the 1990s and 2000s. From 2004 to 2015, he hosted the reality television
show _[The Apprentice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(American_TV_series))_,
bolstering his reputation as a wealthy tycoon. Presenting himself as a political
outsider, Trump won the [2016 presidential election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election)
against [Democratic Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States))
nominee [Hillary Clinton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton).

During [his first presidency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_presidency_of_Donald_Trump),
Trump imposed [a travel ban](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769)
on seven Muslim-majority countries, expanded the [Mexico–United States border wall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico–United_States_border_wall),
and enforced [a family separation policy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_administration_family_separation_policy)
on the border. He rolled back environmental and business regulations, signed the
[Tax Cuts and Jobs Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act), and
appointed three Supreme Court justices. He withdrew the U.S. from agreements on 
climate and trade and started [a trade war with China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China–United_States_trade_war).
In response to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States)
in 2020, he downplayed its severity, contradicted health officials, and signed the
bipartisan [CARES Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CARES_Act). After losing the
[2020 presidential election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election)
to [Joe Biden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden), Trump refused to concede
defeat and [attempted to overturn the result](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempts_to_overturn_the_2020_United_States_presidential_election),
resulting in the [January 6 Capitol attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack)
in 2021. He was impeached twice—[in 2019](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_impeachment_of_Donald_Trump)
for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress and [in 2021](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_impeachment_of_Donald_Trump)
for incitement of insurrection—and acquitted by the Senate both times.

In 2023, Trump was found liable in New York state civil cases [for sexual abuse and defamation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Jean_Carroll_v._Donald_J._Trump)
and [for business fraud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_business_fraud_lawsuit_against_the_Trump_Organization).
In May 2024, he was found guilty in a New York state court on 34 counts [of falsifying business records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_in_New_York),
making him the first U.S. president convicted of a felony. After winning the [2024 presidential election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election)
against [Kamala Harris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris), he was given
a no-penalty sentence, and two federal felony indictments for [retention of classified documents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_(classified_documents_case))
and [obstruction of the 2020 election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_(election_obstruction_case))
were dismissed [without prejudice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prejudice_(legal_term)).

Trump began [his second presidency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump)
by initiating [mass layoffs of federal workers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_United_States_federal_mass_layoffs).
He [imposed tariffs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariffs_in_the_second_Trump_administration)
on nearly all countries at the highest level since the [Great Depression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression)
and signed the [One Big Beautiful Bill Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Big_Beautiful_Bill_Act).
His administration's actions—including the [targeting of political opponents and civil society](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeting_of_political_opponents_and_civil_society_under_the_second_Trump_administration),
restriction of transgender rights, mass [deportation of immigrants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_in_the_second_Trump_administration),
and extensive use of executive orders—have drawn over 550 [lawsuits challenging their legality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_second_Trump_presidency).
In Latin America, he pursued a campaign to [attack alleged drug traffickers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_strikes_on_alleged_drug_traffickers_during_Operation_Southern_Spear)
and ordered [a military raid into Venezuela](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_intervention_in_Venezuela)
to capture its president. In the Middle East, he authorized joint U.S.–Israeli strikes
on Iran that began the [2026 Iran war](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war).

Since 2015, Trump's leadership style and political agenda—often referred to as [Trumpism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpism)—
have reshaped the Republican Party's identity. Many of his comments and actions 
have been [characterized as racist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Donald_Trump)
or misogynistic. He has [made many false or misleading statements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump)
during his campaigns and presidency, to a degree unprecedented in American politics,
and [has promoted conspiracy theories](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories_promoted_by_Donald_Trump).
Trump's actions have been described by researchers as [authoritarian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism_during_the_Trump_presidencies)
and contributing to [democratic backsliding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_backsliding_in_the_United_States).
After his first term, scholars and historians [ranked him](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#Scholarly_rankings)
as one of the worst presidents in American history.

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, at [Jamaica Hospital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_Hospital)
in the New York City borough of [Queens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens), 
the fourth child of [Fred Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump) and [Mary Anne MacLeod Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Anne_MacLeod_Trump).
^([[1]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201730,_37-1))
He is of German and Scottish descent.^([[2]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher2017v-2))
He grew up with his older siblings, [Maryanne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryanne_Trump_Barry),
[Fred Jr](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump_Jr.), and Elizabeth, and his 
younger brother, [Robert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Trump), in a 23-room
mansion in the [Jamaica Estates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_Estates) 
neighborhood of Queens.^([[3]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-3))
As favorite son,^([[4]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBuettnerCraig2024302-4))
Donald competed^([[5]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEO'Brien2005a49-5))
with his taskmaster father yet considered him to be his best friend.^([[6]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher2017272-6))
Fred passed along to Donald his work ethic^([[6]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher2017272-6))
and the axiom to bring in projects "on time and under budget".^([[7]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEO'Brien2005a47-7))
He told him repeatedly to be "a killer" and that he was "a king".^([[8]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHurt_III199313-8))
Although Trump never chose to acknowledge his debt, he would rely on his father's
business sense^([[9]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarrett201613-9))
and financial backing for years to come.^([[10]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEO'Brien2005a51-10))
To sidestep taxes, Fred paid his children each about $20,000 a year, equivalent 
to $265,000 a year in 2024. Trump was a millionaire in inflation-adjusted dollars
by age eight.^([[11]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBuettnerCraig202430–31-11))

Trump attended the private [Kew-Forest School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kew-Forest_School)
through seventh grade. His father enrolled him in the [New York Military Academy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Military_Academy),
a private boarding school, from eighth to twelfth grade.^([[12]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201733,_38,_45-12))
The academy pushed students into sports^([[13]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBuettnerCraig202466-13))
and taught the imperative of winning.^([[14]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201742-14))
Trump considered attending film school in California but, to be closer to home, 
enrolled at [Fordham University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordham_University)
in 1964.^([[15]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201745-15))
He participated in the [Reserve Officers' Training Corps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_Officers'_Training_Corps)
during his first year, attending classes in a military uniform every Wednesday, 
but dropped it in his second year.^([[16]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBuettnerCraig202499-16))
In his junior year, he transferred to the [Wharton School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharton_School)
of the [University of Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Pennsylvania),
most often commuting to his father's office on weekends, and graduated in May 1968
with a Bachelor of Science in economics.^([[17]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201747–50-17))
Contrary to his statements that he was top of his class with the highest grades 
possible, Wharton's published academic honors and dean's list do not include his
name.^([[18]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201747-18))
^([[19]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-19)) By the time 
he went to Wharton, he was considering a career in real estate.^([[20]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarrett201675-20))
He was exempted from the draft during the [Vietnam War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War)
due to a claim of [bone spurs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcaneal_spur) in 
his heels.^([[21]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201748-21))

and [The Trump Organization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trump_Organization)

### Real estate

See also: [The Trump Organization § Real estate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trump_Organization#Real_estate)

Starting in 1968, Trump was employed at Trump Management, his father's real estate
company, which oversaw more than fourteen thousand middle-class apartments in complexes
Fred had built in Queens, [Staten Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staten_Island),
and [Brooklyn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn).^([[22]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201751–53-22))
For about five years,^([[10]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEO'Brien2005a51-10))
he managed apartments, made repairs, and collected rent.^([[23]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarrett201676-23))
Trump asked his father to expand to [Manhattan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan),
where prices were higher, but his father was content in the outer boroughs.^([[10]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEO'Brien2005a51-10))
In 1971, he moved to Manhattan, where he planned to relocate the business^([[24]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarrett201679-24))
and commuted to his father's office.^([[25]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher201759-25))
That year, his father made himself chairman and Trump president.^([[20]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarrett201675-20))
Trump began using the Trump Organization as an umbrella for the corporate names 
of his father's businesses.^([[26]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlair2015250-26))

[Roy Cohn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Cohn), Trump's most important early
influence after his father,^([[27]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarrett201681-27))
was his [fixer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixer_(person)), lawyer, and mentor
^([[28]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarrett2016126-28))
for 13 years in the 1970s and 1980s.^([[29]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-Mahler2016Cohn-29))
Cohn taught Trump that life is transactional,^([[30]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHaberman202233-30))
that popular opinion is more important than a court of law,^([[31]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBirdGoldmark2026265-31))
that fabrication can drown out facts,^([[32]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBirdGoldmark2026266-32))
to leave no paper trail,^([[33]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBirdGoldmark2026272-33))
and to evade paying bills and taxes.^([[34]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBirdGoldmark2026273–274-34))
Trump showed a propensity for litigation, no matter the outcome and cost; even when
he lost, he described the case as a win.^([[35]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBuettnerCraig2024126-35))
In 1973, Cohn helped Trump countersue the U.S. government for $100 million (equivalent
to $725 million in 2025^([[36]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-inflation-US-36)))
over its charges that Trump's properties had discriminated against Black applicants
and tenants. The case was settled in a consent decree agreeing to desegregate, which
the Trumps ended up in court four years later for violating.^([[37]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarrett201682–84-37))
Cohn was a [consigliere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consigliere) and intermediary
with whom Trump continued his father's connection to the New York Mafia,^([[38]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBirdGoldmark2026263,_270-38))
benefiting from its control of the building trade unions.^([[39]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJohnston201645–46-39))

Between 1991 and 2009, Trump filed for [Chapter 11](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter_11)
bankruptcy protection for six of his businesses: the [Plaza Hotel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_Hotel)
in Manhattan, the casinos in [Atlantic City, New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_City,_New_Jersey),
and the [Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Hotels_&_Casino_Resorts)
company.^([[40]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-40))^([[41]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-TW-41))
In 1992 and 1994, Trump, working with several relatives, formed a shell company 
for paying the vendors providing services and supplies for Trump's rental units,
then billing those services and supplies to Trump Management with significant markups;
the increased costs were used to get state approval for increasing the rents of 
his rent-stabilized units. Besides inflating rents, the schemes served to transfer
assets from Fred to his children and nephew and lower their tax burden.^([[42]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-Tax_Schemes-42))

#### Manhattan and Chicago developments

[⌊Donald Trump, in a black suit and red tie, standing in from of a model of Manhattan

In 1985 with a model of one of his aborted Manhattan development projects^([[43]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-43))

Trump gained public attention in 1978 with the launch of his family's first Manhattan
venture: the renovation of the derelict [Commodore Hotel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Grand_Central_New_York#Commodore_Hotel),
adjacent to [Grand Central Terminal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Terminal).
^([[44]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-44)) Lacking the 
wherewithal to finance the venture, Trump was able to call on his father and [Hyatt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt)
to guarantee the $70 million construction loan.^([[45]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-Rich_NYMag-45))
^([[46]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-46)) With Cohn's 
help and their political connections, he received a 40-year tax break—which is still,
as of 2016, New York City's longest tax abatement^([[47]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-47))—
a prize worth over $410 million.^([[48]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-48))
^([[49]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBirdGoldmark2026269–271-49))
The hotel reopened in 1980 as the [Grand Hyatt Hotel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Grand_Central_New_York).
^([[50]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKranishFisher2017[httpsbooksgooglecombooksidx2jUDQAAQBAJpgPA84_84]-50))

That same year, he obtained rights to develop [Trump Tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Tower),
a mixed-use skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan.^([[51]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-51))
The building houses the headquarters of the Trump Corporation and Trump's [political action committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_action_committee)(
PAC) and was his primary residence until 2019.^([[52]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-moved-52))
Cohn obtained the zoning and building permits, brought in his mob partners to pour
concrete, and sold apartments, creating a market for luxury Trump spaces.^([[53]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBirdGoldmark2026280-53))
He delivered oral arguments to appellate court, securing a $20 million [tax abatement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_abatement).
^([[54]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBirdGoldmark2026281-54))
In 1988, Trump acquired the Plaza Hotel with a loan from a consortium of 16 banks.
^([[55]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-55)) The hotel filed
for bankruptcy protection in 1992, and a reorganization plan was approved a month
later, with the banks taking control of the property.^([[56]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-56))

In 1995, Trump defaulted on over $3 billion of bank loans, and the lenders seized
the Plaza Hotel along with most of his other properties in a "vast and humiliating
restructuring" that allowed him to avoid personal bankruptcy.^([[57]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-plaza-57))
^([[58]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-58)) Trump's last
major construction project was the 92-story mixed-use [Trump International Hotel and Tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_International_Hotel_and_Tower_(Chicago))
in Chicago, which opened in 2008. In 2024, [_The New York Times_ and ProPublica reported](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_International_Hotel_and_Tower_(Chicago)#Tax_deductions)
that the Internal Revenue Service was investigating whether he had twice written
off losses incurred through construction cost overruns and lagging sales of residential
units in the building he had declared to be worthless on his 2008 tax return.^([[59]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-59))

suit.^([[77]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-77)) In 1989

#### Trump University

In 2005, Trump cofounded [Trump University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_University),
a company that sold real estate seminars for up to $35,000. After New York State
authorities notified the company that its use of "university" violated state law
because it was not an academic institution, its name was changed to the Trump Entrepreneur
Initiative in 2010.^([[88]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-FOOTNOTED'Antonio2015281–282-88))
In 2013, the State of New York filed a $40 million civil suit against Trump University,
alleging that the company made false statements and defrauded consumers. Additionally,
two class actions were filed in federal court against him and his companies. Internal
documents revealed that employees were instructed to use a hard-sell approach, and
former employees testified that Trump University had defrauded or lied to its students.

established in 1988.^([[91]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-91))
From 1987 to 2006, Trump gave his foundation $5.4 million, which had been spent 
by the end of 2006. After donating a total of $65,000 in 2007–2008, he stopped donating
any personal funds to the charity,^([[92]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-retool-92))
which received millions from other donors, including $5 million from [Vince McMahon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon).
^([[93]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-93)) The foundation
gave to health and sports-related charities, conservative groups,^([[94]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-94))
and charities that held events at Trump properties.^([[92]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-retool-92))
In 2016, _[The Washington Post](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post)_
reported that the charity had committed several potential legal and ethical violations,
including self-dealing and [tax evasion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_evasion).
^([[95]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-95)) Also in 2016,
the New York attorney general stated the foundation had violated state law by soliciting
donations without submitting to required annual external audits and ordered it to
cease its fundraising activities in New York immediately.^([[96]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-96))
Trump said in December 2016 that the foundation would be dissolved but was prevented
from doing so "amid concerns about the handling of the foundation's documents and
assets".^([[97]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-block-97))

In June 2018, the New York attorney general's office filed a civil suit against 
the foundation, Trump, and his adult children, seeking $2.8 million in restitution
and additional penalties.^([[98]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-98))
In December 2018, the foundation ceased operation and disbursed its assets to other
charities.^([[97]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-block-97))
In November 2019, a New York state judge ordered Trump to pay $2 million to a group
of charities for misusing the foundation's funds, in part to finance his presidential
campaign.^([[99]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-99))

A crowd of Trump supporters during the attack

On January 6, 2021, while [Congress was certifying the presidential election results](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_United_States_Electoral_College_vote_count),
Trump held a rally at which he called for the election to be overturned and urged
his supporters to "fight like hell" and "take back our country" by marching to the
Capitol.^([[340]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-342)) His
supporters then formed a mob that broke into the building, disrupting certification
and causing the evacuation of Congress.^([[341]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-343))
More than 140 police officers were injured, and five people died during or after
the attack.^([[342]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-344))
^([[343]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-345)) The event

## Between presidencies (2021–2025)

Upon leaving the White House, Trump began living at Mar-a-Lago, establishing an 
office there as provided for by the [Former Presidents Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Former_Presidents_Act).
^([[349]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-351)) His continuing
[false claims concerning the 2020 election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie#Donald_Trump's_false_claims_of_a_stolen_election)
were commonly referred to as the "[big lie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie)"
by his critics, although in May 2021, he and many of his supporters began using 
the term to refer to the election itself.^([[350]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-352))
^([[351]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-key2-353)) The Republican
Party used his false claims about the election to justify [imposing new voting restrictions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_efforts_to_restrict_voting_following_the_2020_United_States_presidential_election)
in its favor.^([[352]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-354))
^([[353]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-355))^([[354]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-356))
He continued to pressure state legislators to overturn the election.^([[355]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-357))
Unlike other former presidents, Trump continued to dominate his party; a 2022 profile
in _The New York Times_ described him as a modern [party boss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_boss).
^([[356]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-PB2-358)) He continued
fundraising, raising a [war chest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_chest) containing
more than twice that of the Republican Party, and profited from fundraisers many
Republican candidates held at Mar-a-Lago. Much of his focus was on party governance
and installing in key posts officials loyal to him.^([[356]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-PB2-358))
In the [2022 midterm elections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_midterm_elections),
Trump endorsed over 200 candidates for various offices.^([[357]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-359))
In February 2022, his [Trump Media & Technology Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Media_&_Technology_Group)(
TMTG) launched a pro-Trump social media platform called [Truth Social](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_Social).
^([[358]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-360)) In March 2024,
TMTG became a public company.^([[359]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-361))

in the January 6 attack, in December 2022 the [U.S. House committee on the attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Select_Committee_on_the_January_6_Attack)
recommended criminal charges against him for [obstructing an official proceeding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructing_an_official_proceeding),
inciting or assisting an insurrection, and [conspiracy to defraud the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_to_defraud_the_United_States).

More than a month before the 100-day mark of Trump's second term, he had [issued more executive orders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_executive_orders_in_the_second_Trump_presidency)

As of mid-January 2026, his orders and actions had been challenged in over 550 lawsuits
nationwide. Of these, plaintiffs had prevailed in 195 cases, the government had 
prevailed in 109 cases, there were split rulings in 16 cases, 228 cases were pending,
and 25 cases were closed.^([[416]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-418))
Both Republican and Democratic judicial appointees have found numerous constitutional
and statutory flaws with Trump administration policies.^([[417]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-419))

Following legal setbacks, Trump increased his criticism of the judiciary and called

By mid-July 2025, a _[Washington Post](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Post)_

against him, actions that were described by legal experts as unprecedented for any
presidential administration.^([[419]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-421))
His administration asserted a constitutional right to ignore federal law in its 
justification of several actions. It refused to enforce [a federal ban on TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_Americans_from_Foreign_Adversary_Controlled_Applications_Act),
and legal experts said Trump was "claiming a constitutional power to immunize private
parties to commit otherwise illegal acts with impunity".^([[420]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-422))

opponents, critics, and organizations aligned with the Democratic Party.^([[449]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-451))
He ended the post-[Watergate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate) norm of [Justice Department](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice)(

Since before his first presidency, Trump has promoted conspiracy theories. In 2011,
Trump became the leading proponent of the ["birther" conspiracy theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_citizenship_conspiracy_theories)
that Obama was not born in the United States,^([[632]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-634))
and he claimed credit for pressuring the government to publish Obama's birth certificate,
which he considered fraudulent.^([[633]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-635))
In September 2016, he publicly acknowledged Obama's birthplace and falsely claimed
that the rumors had been started by Clinton during her [2008 presidential campaign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton_2008_presidential_campaign).
^([[634]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-636)) Trump often
prefaced his conspiracies by claiming he heard them from someone else,^([[635]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-Haberman2016-637))

### Relationship with news media

Main article: [Donald Trump's conflict with the news media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump's_conflict_with_the_news_media)

In the 2016 campaign, Trump benefited from a record amount of free media coverage,
^([[640]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-Cillizza-160614-642))
estimated at $2 billion.^([[641]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-643))
As a candidate and as president, he frequently accused the press of bias, calling
it the "fake news media" and "the [enemy of the people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_of_the_people)".
^([[642]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-644))

The first Trump presidency reduced formal press briefings from about one hundred
in 2017 to two by 2019 and revoked the press passes of two White House reporters,
which were restored by the courts.^([[643]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-645))
By 2024, Trump repeatedly voiced support for [outlawing political dissent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminalization_of_dissent)
and criticism,^([[644]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-646))
and said that reporters should be prosecuted for not divulging confidential sources
and media companies should possibly lose their broadcast licenses for unfavorable
coverage of him.^([[645]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-647))

In his second term, Trump's actions against the media were unprecedented in modern
American history,^([[646]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-648))
and historians described them as mirroring actions by authoritarian leaders to censor
political opponents and negatively impacting the [freedom of speech](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech)
and [free press](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_press).^([[647]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-649))

As a result of Trump's threats, media executives instructed journalists and their
staff to [self-censor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-censor) and reduce criticism
of Trump.^([[653]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-655)) Many

A survey during his first presidency showed that 63 percent of Americans did not
believe that he was religious and that 44 percent believed he was a Christian.^(
[[730]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-732)) 70 percent of
respondents to an April 2026 survey said that he was "not too religious" or "not
at all religious".^([[731]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-733))
Some of Trump's comments on the Bible or Christian practice have led critical observers
to suggest that his knowledge of Christianity is superficial or erroneous, and few
biographers have described him as deeply or even particularly religious.^([[732]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-LATimes17-734))

In April 2026, Trump posted an [AI-generated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_art)
image depicting him as Jesus Christ. The post was deleted following criticism. He
later said he had believed the image portrayed him as a doctor.^([[734]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/donald-trump-2#cite_note-736))
