Donald Trump (Vincent's World)

Donald John Trump (June 14th, 1946 - August 31st, 2038) is a former businessman and was the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Prior to being president, he was a businessman and the owner of The Trump Organization from 1971 to 2017. His Vice President was Mike Pence, former Governor of Indiana. He was noted to be the most controversial president in US History.
== Presidency (2017 - 2021) ==
Donald Trump was elected in 2016, defeating Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady of the United States From 1993 to 2001, and the former Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. His presidency was noted to have been the most controversial, due to some of the events he had handled while in office.
=== Relations with North Korea ===
Trump was the first ever US President to ever meet up with a North Korean Supreme Leader. He had 2 summits with Kim Jong Un, first time in Singapore in 2018, and the second in Hanoi in Vietnam in 2019, and the third in the demilitarized zone between both North and South Korea later that same year. It was perhaps the closest the US had ever gotten to stabilizing a friendly relationship with the communist country. Many other presidents would soon follow this action.
=== Ukraine Scandal and Impeachment ===
In July of 2019, Trump had been on a phone call with the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky. In the phone call, the President asked Zelensky if he can investigate one of his potential rivals in the 2020 Presidential Election, Joe Biden, as well as his son, Hunter, and a company called CrowdStrike. He also asked if he could discuss the matters with his (Trump's) personal attorney, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The phone call had come to light between August and September 2019, with whistle-blowers filing their complaints.
After a period of hearings, Trump was impeached on December 18th, 2019, just 1 day shy of the 21st anniversary of Bill Clinton's impeachment. However, due to witnesses being prevented from testifying, as well as a lack of enough senate votes to have him removed from office, Trump was acquitted on February 5th, 2020, just one day after his 3rd State of the Union address.
Many Trump supporters believed that the impeachment had cost the Democrats their chances at beating Trump in the election, and that he would surely win by a landslide. They were wrong.
=== 2019-2020 Coronavirus Pandemic ===
The event that had most likely cost Trump his second term was how he handled the Coronavirus situation. The outbreak began in China in December 2019, but as it had died down in other countries due to the hot summer weather, the pandemic stuck in the US longer than it had expected. Although the virus managed to die out in Europe, with France, Germany and the UK being the last foreign countries to recover, the virus had managed to stay in the US until after a vaccine was made in October, just days before election night on November 3rd, 2020. As a result, the pandemic had killed over 250,000 People in the US, and over 745,000 people in total worldwide. The outbreak was able to die off during the summer season, but only in other countries, because the way Trump had handled the crisis in the US had been rather poor, and was considered to be one of the worst ways any president had handled a crisis.
=== Loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 Presidential Election ===
The virus had struck a fatal blow to Trump's chances of winning a second term in the 2020 Election, ushering in Former Vice President Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States. No landslide had been able to take place, as Trump's supporters believed it would. On the day of Joe Biden's inauguration, he had decided not to attend, and headed straight to his new home at the Mar-A-Lago in Florida, where he would spend the rest of his life. He had left his wife, Melania and his son, Barron to attend the event.
== Post Presidency and Death (2021 - 2038) ==
Trump hadn't been hardly seen from the public however, as he was able to be a motivational speaker for Republican candidates that had run for president in the coming election years. Unfortunately, most of them had lost, and for the next few decades, the Democrats would be the No. 1 ruling party in America, having more presidents than the Republicans have had since both parties were founded in the 19th Century.
=== Death and Funeral ===
On August 31st, 2038, the former president was watching TV with his wife, Melania, when he saw a report from Fox News about the Incumbent President Cory Booker firing Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh after new reports of Sexual Assault Cases had been made against him. Trump was reported to have shouted "NO!" before suddenly collapsing from his chair, due to a heart attack. When Melania called for her husband's Secret Service agents to try and take the former president to a nearby clinic, he uttered a few last words.
Trump died at around 8:36 PM that night. His funeral was later held on September 6th. President Cory Booker and Vice President Hunter Biden attended the event, as did former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Joe Biden, and Tulsi Gabbard. Bill Clinton could not attend, however, due to him having to recover from a cancer surgery he had 3 days prior.
Former Vice Presidents Mike Pence, Dan Quayle, Al Gore, and Richard Ojeda had attended as well. Former House Speaker John Bolton had also attended, as did former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Trump was buried at the Donald Trump Presidential Library in Jacksonville, Florida.
