The Republican Party is selecting a presidential candidate:

Donald Trump

In this article we are going to answer these questions:

*Who is Donald Trump?

*What are his pending lawsuits?

*what chance does he have of winning the US presidency?

Intro:

Since his election as president in 2016, Trump has held a prominent position in the Republican Party. But in the 2020 election, Democrat Biden defeated him. Republican primary elections must be held in order to choose a new candidate for the 2024 presidential run-off. It seems unlikely that another Democrat will really challenge Biden.

*Who is Donald Trump?

Trump was a businessman and real estate developer who owned, operated, or had his name licensed to hotels, casinos, golf courses, resorts, and residential complexes in the New York City region and abroad.

Frederick (Fred) Christ Trump, a successful real estate entrepreneur, and Mary MacLeod had five children together, with Trump being the fourth. Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald's oldest sister, eventually worked as a federal district court judge (1983–1999) and, after that, as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit until she retired in 2011. Frederick, Jr. (Freddy), his older brother, began working for his father's company in the 1950s before going on to become an airline pilot in the 1960s. Freddy passed away prematurely in 1981 at the age of 43 as a result of his alcoholism.

Private boarding school New York Military Academy served as Donald Trump's first educational institution from 1959 to 1964. He then attended Fordham University in the Bronx from 1964 to 1966 and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance and Commerce from 1966 to 1968, where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics. He received a diagnosis of bone spurs during the Vietnam War in 1968, which made him eligible for a medical discharge from the service.

Trump declared his intention to run for president of the United States in 2016 in June 2015. Trump campaigned on the promise to "make America great again," a slogan heavily promoted on the red hats he and his supporters wore at his rallies. Although Trump's opponents despised them, the red hats were one of the best examples of color branding in marketing history. He also pledged to create millions of new jobs, punish American businesses that export jobs abroad, repeal Obama's signature legislation, and more.

the Affordable Care Act (ACA); to revive the U.S. coal industry; to significantly lessen lobbyist influence in Washington, D.C. ("drain the swamp"); to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change; to impose tariffs on nations that are allegedly engaged in unfair trade practices; to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent illegal immigration from Latin America; and to ban immigration by Muslims. In Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again (2015), Trump brooded over these concerns as well as others.

*What are his current and pending legal cases?

*He and 18 other defendants were accused in Atlanta in a complex RICO case for attempting to void Georgia's election results. In response to his election challenges, the Justice Department filed a separate lawsuit against him in Washington, DC. The Justice Department filed 37 counts against him in Florida for handling sensitive information after he left the White House. And he is facing 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records in New York.

*In the meantime, E. Jean Carroll, the magazine writer who triumphed in a civil trial against Trump for sexual assault and defamation this past May, is preparing to bring a second defamation case against him.

*In June, Trump received the first federal indictment of a former president, a year after the FBI discovered hundreds of sensitive documents at Mar-a-Lago. He was accused with 37 offenses, including conspiracy to impede justice and deliberate retention of national defense secrets. Then, in July, prosecutors released a superseding indictment against Trump in which they added three more allegations and claimed that he conspired with two workers to delete evidence-gathering security camera footage. By the time Trump's trial starts in the spring of 2019, the Republican primary will probably be completed and the general election against Joe Biden will have started.

*Trump became the first former president to be charged with a crime after a grand jury decided to indict him on March 30. In order to keep Stormy Daniels from disclosing her account of an alleged prior affair with Trump during his 2016 campaign, Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney, paid her $130,000. According to Cohen, Trump ordered him to make the transaction, paid him back over time for the expense, then falsified the Trump Organization's financial records to hide it. As a result of how the payments to Cohen were reported by the Trump Organization, 34 felony counts of first-degree business record falsification were brought against Trump after his surrender in Manhattan. The restrictions set forth by Judge Juan Merchan prevent Trump from retaining evidence.
