## Biography

Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens and received an economics degree from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organisation, and expanded it from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan. The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He managed the company until his 2017 inauguration. He coauthored several books, including The Art of the Deal. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and he produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.

Trump entered the 2016 presidential race as a Republican and defeated sixteen candidates in the primaries. Commentators described his political positions as populist, protectionist, and nationalist. He was elected president in a surprise victory over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, although he lost the popular vote. He became the oldest and wealthiest person ever to assume the presidency, 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. The statements have been documented by fact checkers, and the media have widely described the phenomenon as unprecedented in American politics. Many of his comments and actions have been characterized as racially charged.

Despite the controversy, he attracted major public attention when he announced that an expedition to the Upsilon Andromeda system was being put into operation after he revealed radio signals detected from one of Upsilon Andromeda d's moons, which many theorised to be potentially habitable. This subsequently increased opinion of him, but many questioned the expedition, regarding it as overly ambitious. But the expedition was already decided, and Odyssey mission was launched after the construction of the Exploratora Viae in 2016.

In 2019, the Exploratora Viae arrived to the system and encountered strange objects in the orbit of the habitable moon. For the first time in history, the Human race had made contact with another spacefaring intelligence. The species were named Britomartians after the name given to their home planet, Britomartis, who was a Greek goddess of mountains and hunting, primarily worshipped on the island of Crete. This major event came to be known as First Human Contact, which would later result in the founding of the Britomartian Space Commerce of Union, an alliance between the Human race and Britomartians.
