Donald Trump is a former reality TV show star, real estate tycoon, and billionaire who served as US president from 2016-2020. Prior to being elected president, Trump was most known for starring in The Apprentice, which was produced by Jeff Zucker, a prominent corporate media executive. Jeff went onto run CNN, which gave Trump thousands of hours of publicity and indirect promotion during his 2016 race. This included, but was not limited to, airing entire speeches of his rather than those of his opponents.
According to leaked campaign documents, Trump's main 2016 general election rival sought to elevate Trump during 2016 through establishment media channels. Their stated intention was to elevate Trump as a "pied piper candidate" which would concentrate Republican extremists at the front of the Republican Party. The point of this exercise was that Republican extremists would supposedly be unpalatable to a general electorate.[1] Trump's 2016 Democratic Party rival popularized a term for this coalition they elevated, called the 'alt-right' in a famous speech she gave.
Trump was elected on a platform of American nationalism, locking up his main political opponent, and American businesses owning the means of production rather than foreign businesses. During his presidency, he did almost none of these things outside a few anti-globalist bills and a brief immigration ban. During 2020, Trump famously became hostile to Democratic governance while facing a slim chance at re-election. He openly wanted to delay elections, dispute the results, and refuse to resign way before any election took place. While losing the 2020 vote, he asked the Georgia governor to manufacture votes for him, leading to his 2023 arrest for conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
