Donald J. Trump, one of the most recognized figures in American business and politics, has maintained a strong public presence for decades. Thirty years ago, in the mid-1990s, Trump was already a household name, known more for his real estate empire and flamboyant personality than politics. Rare photos from that era show a younger Trump with his signature combed-over hair, sharp suits, and unmistakable confidence—a man who was laying the foundation for his eventual run for the presidency.
Donald Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City.
He is the fourth of five children of real estate developer Fred Trump.
