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]

Trump is a member of the America First movement, which believes the USA should be able to act unilaterally without limits from international law and treaties. It is not isolationist.[2]

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.[3]

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.[4]

In 2020, the United States withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement.[5]

Under Trump's presidency, civilian deaths caused by the U.S. military increased greatly.[6]

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.[7]

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."[8]

Post-presidency

On 8 August 2022, the FBI raided Trump's home in the State of Florida.[9] In November 2022, Trump announced he would run for president again in 2024.[1]
