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.

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.

Reporters in Oklahoma are asking a candidate with a violent past why he refuses to reply to their questions about comments he made years ago suggesting gay people should be executed.

Today, Republican Scott Esk faces fellow Republican Gloria Banister in a runoff for a state house seat.Esk, 56, according to LGBTQ Nation, is being confronted by the local press about his previous comments, and, "He's not handling them well."Esk said in a video he disseminated online on Sunday to "set the record straight" for the third time that reports of his views were manufactured to make him appear in a bad light, calling them "hit pieces."As a result of a local news station reporting on his old comments, he responded in a YouTube video on July 15.

He said that he believes his stance on homosexuality makes him a "Christian.""I've stood up for what is right in the past, and I intend to in the future, and I am right now.

That's got me in trouble," Esk said. "The media are not my friends, as far as I'm concerned."In 2014, when Esk was running for statewide office, KFOR, Oklahoma City's NBC affiliate, reported that Esk commented on Facebook the previous year in response to somebody's question about whether homosexuals should be executed — "presumably by stoning" — following Pope Francis's comments suggesting he cannot judge them."I think we would be totally in the right to do it," he wrote.
