Trump, the billionaire who wants to be President

The Republic candidate Donald Trump is basically a businessman and television producer- a showman. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization, which is the principal holding company for his real estate ventures and other business interests. During his career, Trump has built office towers, hotels, casinos, golf courses and other facilities worldwide.

Some of his more famous constructions and business ventures are shown below.

We have reached an age, in India and elsewhere in the world, where elections means money. The candidates who run for MP or MLA posts in India need crores and crores of money, for advertisements,campaigning and everything else. This money need is met by billionaire industrialists, whether it is Reliance, Adani, Tata or Birla who in a way decide the final winner.

In the United States which is ahead of us by a few decades- a businessman has taken it as a challenge to occupy the post of President of his country and lead it—where? The rhetoric is- “he wants to make America great again.” The fact is countries do not run on pure rhetoric but election campaigning really does.
