The great words of Jonathon Swift spring to mind when I write that Donald J. Trump has been killed: 'The world he cumber'd long enough.'
On June 14th 1946, just a year after the war ended (so clearly God didn't think we had suffered enough), Donald Trump was born in Queens, New York City. He attended Fordham University as well as the School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, but Trump did have to fight for a place there, having only been given 'a small loan of a million dollars' from his real estate developer father, Fred Trump.
Trump married his first wife, Czech model Ivana Zelníčková on April 7, 1977. They had three children: Donald Jr, Eric and daughter Ivanka who he famously told the world he would happily date if they were not related. He also had a daughter, Tiffany with Marla Maples and a son with Melania Knauss, Barron Trump.
Much like a dog marking his territory, Trump liked to put his name everywhere: The Trump Tower, for instance, the Trump Taj Mahal, Trump International Golf Links, Ireland. He even had his own line of coffee, fragrance, water and a board game, just in case you wanted to showcase to the world your racism, sexism and other views originating from the Dark Ages. Let's not forget his part-ownership of a series of beauty pageants, symbolising just beautifully his desire to control and possess women.
Although Trump did have considerable success with his many businesses, projects and his key role in The Apprentice USA, he had more recently charged into the limelight following his decision to run for President in 2016. His views were controversial to say the least, calling for Muslims to be banned from entering the US, saying that global warming is a governmentally-constructed myth and most Mexicans are drug dealers and rapists.
I do offer my condolences to his family and friends during this very difficult time. He was a very influential person in the world of business and has certainly made an impact on American politics. I also think it's fair to say that Donald Trump will never be forgotten.
Well-constructed and engaging. Good to start with a quote and that would have been available to you if that had been the poem on the paper. I'm sorry to say I don't get the headline but I havent read the commentary yet.
