WASHINGTON — Donald Trump rose to power proposing a simple solution to the United States’ deepest problems: himself. That’s what he did back in 2016, when many Americans literally laughed at the idea of a Trump White House. To his own side, amounting to perhaps 40 percent of the country, Trump constituted a giant middle finger to every member of the establishment, from the Republican party bigwigs to leftist Hollywood and the media.

Donald John Trump was the fourth of five children born to wealthy real estate developer Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, a Scottish immigrant.
