Donald Trump
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in Queens, a borough of New York City, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations 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 bought the Miss Universe brand of beauty pageants in 1996, and sold it in 2015. He produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television series, from 2003 to 2015.

The academy drew James’s ire because it’s a one-of-its-kind charter school that, while open to all students, bills itself as being “LGBTQ-affirming,” according to AL.com.

In his campaign ad, James called this “exploitation” of children and “not education.”The ad, entitled “Genesis” (which features the faces of minors who attend the academy, for which reason The Advocate and other outlets are declining to include it in this coverage), contains footage of the school and a drag show fundraiser. “And now, right here in Alabama, millions of your tax dollars are paying for the first transgender public school in the South,” James said in the ad. “Enough of this foolishness.”Michael Wilson, principal of the Magic City Acceptance Academy, has called for the removal of the ad telling Al.com it’s “scaring the hell out of our kids.” He also noted that the drag show was no different than the tradition of “powder puff” football games, in which girls play football while boys cheer from the sidelines — a tradition that happens to occur at Baylor School in Tennessee, James’ alma mater.In response to Wilson’s call to remove the ad, James doubled down. “The principal said that the TV ad scared the children,” a statement read. “What should scare mothers and fathers of these children is what the faculty is doing by presenting this ungodly display through the drag show to which the children were subjected.”“What he’s doing is extremely dangerous to youth,” Alabama Democratic Party vice-chair Patricia Todd (and the state legislature’s first LGBTQ+ lawmaker) said of the campaign ad.
