Trump is the CEO of the Trump Organization, a US-based real-estate developer, and the founder of Trump Entertainment, which operates several casinos across the US. He received a great deal of publicity following the success of his reality television show, The Apprentice (in which he serves as both executive producer and host for the show.) He is the son of Fred Trump who was a wealthy real estate developer based in New York City.
Trump has gained notability for his celebrity lifestyle and his real estate successes, including several skyscrapers bearing his name. He is popularly known as The Donald, a nickname given to him by the media after his ex-wife Ivana Trump, a native of the Czech Republic and only marginally fluent in English, mistakenly referred to him as such in an interview. He is also known for his catchphrase, "You're Fired", made popular by his television series The Apprentice. Trump is known for his distinctive trademark hairstyle which he has refused to change throughout his career, his hair has made him the subject of much ridicule from other celebrities and fans as well.
