Playboy, bankrupt, (dual) president: Donald Trump’s life in pictures
Copy the current link
Donald Trump comes from a cold, rich family. He built skyscrapers, became a super celebrity and US President – a life that is only possible in the USA.
He bathes in the cheers of large crowds, threatens and insults his opponents on Truthsocial and Americans like that. They elected Donald Trump president for the second time.
Donald Trump, a man of contradictions
A man who inspires devout Christians, even though his lifestyle is anything but Christian. Who is said to have economic competence, although he was not particularly successful as a businessman. Who wants to seal off the USA as an immigration country, even though he is married to an immigrant woman.
For a long time, Trump’s life was that of a bon vivant with a rich family: lots of parties (although he doesn’t drink alcohol himself), lots of women, lots of prestige. Ironically, his first wife Ivana was the one who turned the heir Donald into the (initially) successful businessman Donald. Only: she was better. She was the head of the company that bore his name. Ivana was more Trump than Donald himself.
Rather failed as a businessman
The spoiled kid from a rich family didn’t particularly like this kind of competition. After his divorce, he resumed his old life as a playboy, collecting beauties as well as other art – and trying to market his name as best as possible. It wasn’t just skyscrapers that bore the word “Trump”, but also hotels, golf courses and casinos, and later steaks, vodka bottles and a university. However, the vast majority of excursions into business worlds without concrete failed.
When Donald Trump was elected the 45th US President in 2016, also to his own surprise, he fulfilled his office with exactly the bulldozing attitude that he had already displayed during the election campaign. It is only thanks to a few capable employees that his presidency did not completely collapse into the confused chaos with which he irritated the world public for years.
Better organized second presidency
The Donald Trump from 2024 and 47th US President from January 2025 may have aged significantly and is still not the smart guy he sees himself as, but one thing is certain: he will definitely have his second presidency better organized and it is likely to be more painful for everyone than his first.
