Who is Donald Trump?

Donald John Trump, Jr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman and and the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party for President of the United States in the 2016 election. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization. Much of his money was made in real estate in New York City, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City. He owns the Miss Universe pageant. He was the star in his own reality show The Apprentice.

In June 2015, Trump announced that he would run for President of the United States in the 2016 presidential elections. Starting mid-July, polls showed that Trump was the front-runner in the Republican field. This was true even after much criticism from the party due to his comments on illegal immigration, Muslims, and ISIS. His campaign has gained support from mostly middle class families. It has gained opposition from Democrats, Republicans, business people, world leaders and the Pope.

On May 4, 2016, Trump became the presumptive nominee after his only remaining challengers Texas United States senator Ted Cruz and Governor of Ohio John Kasich dropped out.

Early life

Trump was born Donald John Trump in Queens, New York City. He is the son of Fred Trump and his wife, Mary Anne (nee MacLeod), who married in 1936. His mother was born on the Isle of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland. Donald was one of five children. Donald's oldest brother, Fred Jr., died in 1981 at the age of 43. Trump's father's parents were German immigrants.

His grandfather, Frederick Trump, immigrated to the United States in 1885. He became a naturalized American citizen in 1892. Frederick married Elisabeth Christ (October 10, 1880 – June 6, 1966)[9] at Kallstadt, Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany, on August 26, 1902. They had three children. He studied at Fordham University until transferring to the University of Pennsylvania.

Career

Trump shaking hands with President Ronald Reagan at the White House, 1987

Trump began his career at his father's real estate company, Elizabeth Trump and Son. the company focused on middle-class rental housing in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. One of Trump's first projects, while he was still in college, was the revitalization of the foreclosed Swifton Village apartment complex in Cincinnati, Ohio. His father had purchased it for $5.7 million in 1962. Trump became closely involved in the project. With a $500,000 investment, he turned the 1200-unit complex with a 66 percent vacancy rate to 100 percent occupancy within two years. In 1972, the Trump Organization sold Swifton Village for $6.75 million.

Trump has developed many real estate projects. They include Trump International Hotel and Tower in Honolulu, Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto, and Trump Tower in Tampa. In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, one Trump construction project was put on hold in favor of another (Trump International Hotel and Tower in Fort Lauderdale). Meanwhile, Trump Towers in Atlanta is being developed in a housing market having the nation's second-highest inventory of unsold homes.

In its October 7, 2007 Forbes 400 issue, "Acreage Aces", Forbes valued Trump's wealth at $3.0 billion. Since 2011, his net worth has been estimated from $2.9 billion to $7 billion.

Personal life

Trump married Ivana Zelníčková in 1977. They divorced in 1992. He was married to Marla Maples from 1993 until they divorced in 1999. He married Melania Knauss in 2005. Trump has 5 children.

2016 presidential campaign

Trump made a formal announcement of his candidacy for president of the United States for the 2016 elections on June 16, 2015. He made the announcement at 11am EST from his headquarters in Trump Tower in New York City. Trump launched his campaign saying, "We are going to make our Country Great Again" with a commitment to become the "greatest jobs president." Trump's official campaign slogan is "Make America Great Again." That was Ronald Reagan's campaign slogan, but Trump trademarked it.

On May 4, 2016, Trump became the presumptive nominee after his only challengers, Texas United States senator Ted Cruz and Governor of Ohio John Kasich, dropped out.

Border security and illegal immigration remarks

During his announcement speech he stated in part, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you.... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems.... They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." On July 6, 2015, Trump issued a written statement to clarify his position on illegal immigration which drew a reaction from critics.

Ideas

Trump has described his political leanings and positions in many ways over time.Politico has called his positions as "eclectic, improvisational and often contradictory". He has listed several different party affiliations over the years, and has also run as a Reform Party candidate.The positions that he has revised or reversed include stances on progressive taxation, abortion, and government involvement in health care.

He has supported Christian groups in the U.S., claiming that he will reverse unfavorable tax treatments preventing them from expressing themselves in the political arena and promising to revive a more widespread use of the phrase "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" in department stores. Other issues he highlights include taking care of military veterans, making the military "strong", aggressive bombing of the Mideast terrorist group ISIS, surveillance of certain mosques in the U.S., and making trade agreements more favorable to American workers.

During the primaries, Trump , has won 40 contests

Primaries

Trump entered a large field of candidates consisting of 16 other Republican candidates campaigning for the nomination, the largest presidential field in American history.By early 2016, the race had mostly centered on Donald Trump and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz. On Super Tuesday, Trump won the majority of the delegates and remained the front-runner throughout the primaries.

Finishing in June 2016 with nearly 14 million votes, Trump broke the all-time record for winning the most primary votes in the history of the Republican Party.

What is the UNHCR?

What is UNHCR?

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR, ACNUR in Spanish) is a part of the United Nations. The purpose of this agency is to protect and support refugees when governments or the UN ask for help. The UNHCR helps refugees return home out of their voluntary will, settle locally, or move to a third country according to the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and other international law. The agency's headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland. It is a member of the United Nations Development Group chaired by United Nations Development Programme. The UNHCR has won two Nobel Peace Prizes in 1954 and in 1981. (information from Simple Wikipedia)

What  does it do?

At the end of 2007, UNHCR was caring for almost 33 million people, of whom nearly 80% were women and children.

UNHCR not only provides aid to refugees but also to other groups such as internal displaced persons, asylum seekers, the stateless, the repatriated and other needy people. There are more than 40 million rootless people either being cared for by UNHCR or outside its field of action in the world, which is one out of every 156 people on the planet. (text from FC Barcelona)

Aid for 60 million people 

Since it was set up more than half a century ago, UNHCR has provided aid to around 60 million people, which has brought it two Nobel Peace Prizes (in 1954 and 1981) and the Principe de Asturias International Cooperation Prize in 2001. 

Refugees are people who are outside their own country due to fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, belonging to a specific social group or for having particular political opinions. Many have fled from war and violations of human rights.  (text from FC Barcelona)

International protection 

UNHCR’s biggest responsibility, called “international protection”, consists of ensuring respect for the basic rights of refugees (including the right to seek asylum) and guaranteeing that no-one will be returned against their will to a country in which they fear persecution. The organisation promotes international conventions on refugees, verifies governmental compliance with international law and provides emergency aid and material support to civilians who flee, providing them with food, water, shelter and medical care.  (text from FC Barcelona)

Seeking solutions 

Along with governments, NGOs and civil society, UNHCR seeks lasting solutions for refugees in three main areas: voluntary repatriation, which is often the preferred solution for most refugees and host governments, although it is not always possible and in these cases UNHCR helps these people to integrate and rebuild their lives in another place, whether in the country of asylum or in a third country which wishes to accept these rootless people in a process of resettlement.  (text from FC Barcelona)
