10 Facts about Donald Trump


10 Facts about Donald Trump:

1. At 13, he was sent to the New York Military Academy because he was so full of energy. His parents thought sending him to military school would help channel all his energy into something good. He did very well in the academy and graduated in 1964.



2. Donald Trump is an accomplished book author. He has written at least 50 books. His first book, "The Art of the Deal," was published in 1987. He penned several more like "Trump: The Best Real Estate Advice I Ever Received: 100 Top Experts Share Their Strategies" and "Ten Secrets I Learned from the Apprentice."




3. In 2013, comedian Bill Maher joked that Donald was the son of a monkey and offered $5 million if he can prove his dad was a real human being. The real estate mogul didn't like it and released his birth certificate. He then sued the comedian for refusing to pay him the money. Trump dropped the charges months later.




4. He sued New York Times author Timothy O'Brien because the writer miscalculated his net worth in a book published in 2006. In the book, O'Brien said Trump is worth between $150 and $250 million. Trump said he was worth billions. The court dismissed his lawsuit in 2009.




5. Donald doesn't drink alcohol. He told Forbes in 2011 that he doesn't drink, and it's easy for him to avoid drinking. This is because of his older brother, Fred, struggled with alcoholism. He died and it influenced him to stay away from any alcoholic beverage.




6. Almost everybody is likely to be familiar with this fact. In 2004, Trump became the executive director and star of the NBC reality show, The Apprentice. What you may not know, however, is that he was paid $375,000 per show.




7. The Hollywood Walk of Fame honoured Donald Trump with the 2,327th star in 2007 for his contribution in the entertainment industry via his hit reality show, "The Apprentice." At the live broadcast, he said the show was an "absolutely amazing" experience.




8. Trump has taken the strongest and most talked about stand on the issue of illegal immigration in the presidential race so far. His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was a Scottish immigrant, while his paternal grandparents immigrated from Germany.




9. Although Trump doesn’t drink, he launched his own brand of vodka in 2006, self-described as “a superb product and beautifully packaged.” Unfortunately, consumers didn’t agree and production of Trump Vodka was halted in 2011 due to meagre sales. 




10. A germaphobe, Trump dislikes shaking hands. When forced to shake hands, he has an interesting technique of vigorously pulling the other person close to his body.
