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. As of 2020, Forbes estimated his net worth to be $2.1 billion.[

Republicans think the government should actually regulate transgender people less, not more.In a new survey from Data for Progress, 58 percent of all voters were in agreement that "the government should be less involved in what transgender people are allowed to do, including the health care they can receive." This included a strong majority of independents and potentially a surprising plurality, 45 percent, of Republicans."Whether it's abortion or transgender rights, the majority of Americans and a significant number of Republicans believe that we have a right to decide what we do with our own bodies and personal lives without government interference," Danielle Deiseroth, the executive director at Data for Progress, told Newsweek. "Republicans often advocate for reducing the role of government when it comes to economics and education, but on issues related to transgender people, they want the opposite."Our polling suggests that a lot of Republicans disagree with this approach, even if they are not generally supportive of transgender rights, because they think the government should be less involved in regulating what people are allowed to do."Many Republican politicians and candidates in the last election cycle have made their stances on transgender policies clear, calling for transgender athletes to be excluded from sports as the gender they identify with, as well as for adding restrictions for those who would like to transition at a younger age.The question in the survey focused on general freedom from the government for transgender people, not about children's issues or government funding related to transgender health care, which Republicans are still likely to be against, said Robert Shapiro, a political science professor at Columbia University."There is no threat to life here as in the abortion issue," Shapiro told Newsweek.

Election ATHLETICS show Trans audience Transgender Sporting Megyn Kelly Says Jen Psaki 'Lying' About Trans Athletes
Jen Psaki is lying about the challenges posed by trans athletes competing in girls sports, according to former Fox host Megyn Kelly, who cited this as proof that Democrats cannot grasp their 2024 election mistakes."My audience knows that's a lie," Kelly said on Tuesday, in response to comments made by Psaki on her MSNBC show on November 17, during which the former White House press secretary said that some Democrats had reached "the wrong sweeping conclusions" following Kamala Harris's defeat, and were following Republicans down "a path of anti-trans panic."Newsweek has contacted MSNBC for a response to Kelly's statement.Since Harris's loss, Democrats have engaged in a rigorous post-mortem of the vice president's campaign, some pointing to the party's focus on certain identity-based issues rather than the concerns that were foremost in voters' minds heading into Election Day.Shortly after Trump's win was announced, Democratic Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts told The New York Times: "Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face.""I have two little girls," he added. "I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that."Psaki, who served in the Biden White House before joining MSNBC in May 2020, addressed Moulton's statement in a Sunday broadcast, arguing that Democrats' post-election "soul searching" should not involve a reassessment of the party's approach toward transgender rights."Look, if that was actually an issue at thousands of schools across the country, then it would be worthy of a debate," Psaki said.
