Donald J. Trump, born June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, is an American businessman, media personality, and politician who served as the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Trump began his career in real estate, inheriting his father's business and expanding it into a global brand known for luxury properties, hotels, and golf courses. His flair for self-promotion and bold business ventures made him a prominent figure in the 1980s and 1990s.
Trump gained national fame as the host of the reality TV show "The Apprentice," where his catchphrase, "You're fired," became iconic. In 2015, he announced his candidacy for the presidency as a Republican, running on a platform of economic nationalism, immigration reform, and "America First" policies. His outsider status, unconventional campaign style, and appeal to disaffected voters led to a surprising victory in the 2016 election.
During his presidency, Trump implemented tax cuts, deregulation, and a hardline stance on immigration and trade. His tenure was marked by controversy, including two impeachments.

Addressing domestic political matters, Tharoor endorsed Rahul Gandhi's call for a parliamentary debate on recent controversies surrounding the Election Commission of India. He condemned administrative decisions under Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar regarding Form 6 and Form 7 revisions as unauthorized bureaucratic malfeasance.
