Donald Trump, né le 14 juin 1946 à New York, est un homme d'affaires, animateur de télévision et homme d'État américain, président des États-Unis depuis le 20 janvier 2017.

Donald Trump travaille dans l'entreprise familiale à partir de 1968, pendant ses études à l’école de commerce de Wharton de l'université de Pennsylvanie. Il en prend la tête en 1971 de l'entreprise de son père Elizabeth Trump & Son et la renomme ensuite The Trump Organization. En 1995, il fonde la Trump Entertainment Resorts. Donald Trump bâtit son empire et sa notoriété sur des bâtiments prestigieux qui portent généralement son nom. Une partie de ses immeubles les plus connus — dont plusieurs gratte-ciel, parmi lesquels la Trump Tower — se trouvent dans l'État de New York, mais il possède également des casinos comme le Trump Taj Mahal d'Atlantic City, des résidences de luxe, des terrains de golf, et réalise de nombreux investissements dans les domaines les plus divers .

Célébrité médiatique aux États-Unis dès les années 1980, impliqué dans le secteur du divertissement télévisuel, il est notamment, de 2004 à 2015, l'animateur de l'émission de téléréalité The Apprentice.

Engagé en politique à partir des années 1980, il devient de façon inattendue le candidat du Parti républicain à l'issue des primaires de 2016. Candidat singulier dans l'histoire politique américaine, Trump mène une campagne atypique, avec une équipe relativement réduite et un usage intensif des réseaux sociaux, en particulier de Twitter. Se présentant comme un adversaire de l'establishment et du politiquement correct, il se distingue également par un ton très polémique et par un discours populiste, réactionnaire, nationaliste, isolationniste, protectionniste et climato-sceptique, ainsi que par des propositions radicales visant à réduire l'immigration et de nombreuses contre-vérités.

Sa victoire à l'élection présidentielle de novembre 2016 face à la candidate démocrate Hillary Clinton déjoue la plupart des pronostics. À sa prise de fonction, il est le président américain le plus âgé et le plus riche jamais élu. Il est également le premier candidat qui accède à la présidence sans jamais avoir exercé de fonction politique ou militaire.

Dès son installation au pouvoir, il signe une série de décrets présidentiels qui provoquent de fortes polémiques aussi bien au niveau national qu'international.

Donald Trump citations célèbres

“[Les Musulmanes] ne veulent pas de liberté! Je vais vous dire : récemment, j'ai discuté avec quelqu'un, une personne dont je tairai le nom parce que c'est vraiment gênant… Et cette personne me disait : « Nous voulons libérer les femmes du vous-savez-quoi. » D'abord, j'ai répondu : « Oui, ça paraît logique. C'est sympa. » Et puis, j'ai vu des entretiens de femmes. Elles disaient : « Mais nous ne voulons pas la retirer, on la porte depuis des millénaires. Pourquoi quelqu'un nous y forcerait-il? » Elles le veulent! Mince alors! Pourquoi va-t-on s'embourber dans ce débat? En fait, c'est même pratique : elles n'ont même plus à mettre de maquillage. Regardez comme elles sont belles… Est-ce que ce ne serait pas plus simple? Je vous le dis : si j'étais une femme, hop! « Et voilà chéri, je suis prête! » Sérieusement… La raison pour laquelle je ne peux pas dire le nom de la personne, c'est parce que c'est un républicain. Mais les démocrates n'en pensent pas moins! Ils veulent de la démocratie. Mais on ne peut plus avoir de démocratie…”

It's like I saw somebody, and I won't even say because it's embarrassing: 'We want it where the women over there don't have to wear the you-know-what.' I saw a woman interviewed. They said 'We want to wear them, we've worn them for a thousand years. Why would anybody tell us not?' They want to ! What the hell are we getting involved for? Fact is, it's easy. You don't have to put on makeup, look how beautiful everyone looks. Wouldn't it be easier? Right? Wouldn't that be easy? I'll tell ya, if I was a woman I don't want to. "I'm ready, darling, let's go!"

[…] — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful — it’s like living in a hellhole right now.

Some of the people we cut, they haven't been used for many, many years, and if we ever need them, we can get them very quickly.
