Trump was born into the family of real estate tycoon Fred Trump.

Trump got into real estate with a loan of $1 million dollars, helping to manage his father’s extensive portfolio through the New York City boroughs.

He went on to build Trump Tower and the Grand Hyatt. In 2003 he debuted his TV show The Apprentice, in which contestants compete for a management job within his organization.

In July 2015, Trump announced his entrance into the race for the White House.

His campaign was run on controversial promises including to build a wall between the US and Mexico, and make Mexico pay for it, as well as a Muslim travel ban.

Furthermore, his campaign had numerous controversies emerge from it, including a recording of him making derogatory remarks about women and claims from notable figures that he was not fit for office.

He won the presidential election against political opponent Hilary Clinton, stunning the nation.

He made history, as he is the first US president to have never served in the military, as well as never having held an elected office.

Trump became the 45^th president of America in November, 2016.

Donald Trump’s life is that of a real estate mogul who decided to go into politics with radical views which would ultimately bring him into the White House.

This is how Barack Obama was such a strong leader.

Understand where you come from

Being from Hawaii, Obama always believed in keeping calm, as he kept that island spirit. He realised that it is important to realise you live in a land with limited land and resources, and that an appreciation of the land should be kept. When living in Indonesia, he realised how big the world is, and how some people can have so little while some have so much. This shaped his perspective of the world.

It is important to listen

Obama realised that there are always going to be conflicts, and that it was important to listen to the other side, otherwise there would just be conflict.

It is important to show respect to each side but be willing to voice your opinion and listen to others opinion.

Don’t feel hopeless

Obama believes that in many situations there will be disruptions and problems, but you shouldn’t ever feel hopeless. This was evident in his stance on climate change, in which he stated that old people would not care as much as young people and that’s the way it is, but it doesn’t mean to give up and feel hopeless.

Barack Obama was a great leader and exuded leadership qualities that many can take and learn from.

He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law in 1991.

Obama would practice law with firm Miner, Barnhill and Galland as a civil rights lawyer, occasionally teaching at the University of Chicago Law School.

Obama’s advocacy work led him to run in politics as a Democrat in the Illinois State Senate. He worked with Republicans and Democrats to draft legislation on ethics, expanding health care services and childhood education programs for the poor.

After the 9/11 attacks, Obama was early in voicing his opposition to going to war in Iraq.

Obama announced his candidacy for president in 2007, and defeated Republican John McCain for the presidency. 100 days from his Inauguration day, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his efforts. He passed a $787 billion stimulus bill to stimulate short-term economic growth, and proposed new regulations for Wall Street. Further, he cut taxes for working class families and overhauled America’s foreign policy. He opened dialogues with Europe, Russia and China and set an August 2010 date for withdrawal of nearly all troops from Iraq. He also ordered the closing of Guantanamo Bay and signed an executive order banning the use of excessive interrogation techniques.

Obama won a second four-year term in the 2012 election.

He went on to call the nation to action on issues to do with climate change, marriage equality and health care.

Barack Obama started from humble beginnings, before rising up the ranks to become the 44^th president of America.

Hillary paved the way for women in politics, as well as women outside of politics, and continues to be an icon of women empowerment.

For anyone to win their first bid for the White House with no prior political experience is remarkable, and a nod to his determination and work ethic.

Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, and accepted the Republican nomination for president. In 2016, he defeated 17 others in the Republican primaries and went on for the presidential bid.

He ended up winning through the electoral college in a landslide victory, winning over 2,800 counties in the country and receiving 62 million votes.

This was achieved in part by campaigning through areas in which Republicans are usually not the majority vote. These included Michigan, Flint, Cleveland and Hispanic churches throughout Florida. His main campaign slogan was “Make America Great Again”, and he campaigned for the financial and economic empowerment of all Americans.

His main pushes were for a reformed tax code, better trade deals and improved regulatory environment.

There are many reasons as to how Trump won, with the vote mostly balanced at one point. There were issues raised on the opposition’s part (Hilary Clinton), including the leak of emails showing that she used a private email account rather than the one provided to her, as well as links to Wall Street campaigns and donations in the past. This ultimately made her untrustworthy in the eyes of many Americans, enough for them not to vote for her and instead vote for Donald Trump. As a result, Trump ended up winning the 2016 presidential race, and is currently the 45^th serving president of the United States.

Growing up in Park Ridge, Illinois, she was born into a family with an emphasis on hard work high academic standards. As a student leader at her school, she became involved in youth programs and originally adhered to the Republic Party, as her parents did. When she was admitted to Wellesley College, her political stance changed as she was influenced by the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X.

She became a lawyer, graduating from Yale Law School, participating in the Watergate inquiry into Richard Nixon. She moved to Arkansas where she became a partner at Rose Law Firm. Her husband Bill Clinton was elected as governor in 1978.

During her husband’s presidency, she was active in the administration, setting up her own office in the West Wing.

In 2001, she was sworn into office as a senator, and continued to push health care reform and was an advocate for children.

Following her acting of secretary of state under the Obama administration, she entered the presidential race in 2016.

Her political opponent Donald Trump made the race a fierce one, being one of the most controversial presidential races in the history of the US.

She ultimately lost her presidential bid, winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college.

Hilary Clinton is a long experienced politician serving as first lady, senator and secretary of the state. She tried but did not succeed to secure the White House in the 2016 presidential race.
