Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. He became the oldest first-term U.S. president, and the first without prior military or government service. His election and policies have sparked numerous protests. Trump has made many false or misleading statements during his campaign and presidency. In October 2016, portions of Trump's state filings for 1995 were leaked to a reporter from The New York Times. They show that Trump declared a loss of $916 million that year, which could have let him avoid taxes for up to 18 years. During the second presidential debate, Trump acknowledged using the deduction, but declined to provide details such as the specific years it was applied. Trump was the dominant speaker at the briefings, where he also frequently criticized rival presidential candidate Joe Biden; praised his own response to the pandemic; and denounced members of the White House press corps.
