Donald Trump is a Statesian politician and billionaire who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. He claims to be a pro-worker politician despite cutting taxes on billionaires and corporations.[1]

Pre-presidency

In, November 2015, Donald Trump mocked Serge Kovaleski's disability, arthrogryposis, in response to Serge stating that they never claimed many Muslims support the September 11 attacks.[2]

Presidential term

In 2017, Donald Trump passed a tax cut that decreased corporate taxes to only 11.3% of profits. He also made a $45 billion cut in food stamp benefits.[3]

In 2020, the United States withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement.[4]

Under Trump's presidency, civilian deaths caused by the U.S. military increased greatly.[5]

Involvement in the Capitol insurrection

See main article: 2021 United States Capitol insurrection

On 6 January 2021 - near the end of his presidential term - Trump rallied his supporters to storm the United States capital in an attempt to reconsolidate his power. The attack ultimately failed and Trump's term came to a close.[6]

According to an analysis on Medium, the Capitol insurrection was a coup attempt by Trump. They argue that "6 January was an attempted coup, in the sense it was designed to trigger martial law and the suspension of the transition."[7]

Post-presidency

On 8 August 2022, the Democratic Party organized a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raid on Trump's home in the State of Florida.[8] The Democrats then attempted to cover up their reasoning for the attack.[9] In November 2022, Trump announced he would run for president again in 2024.[1]
