(Baonghean.vn) - US President Donald Trump is visiting Vietnam from November 11-12. Here are some interesting things about him.
 |
| Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946. His father was Fred Trump, the son of German immigrants. His mother, Mary, was from the village of Tong on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Trump's grandfather came to the United States in 1885. |
 |
| Trump was born rich. His personality was quite active and somewhat rebellious and unruly. Therefore, when Trump was 13 years old, his parents sent him to the Military Academy with the hope that their naughty son would be disciplined. And perhaps this was a wise decision of his parents because after entering the school, Trump proved to be a serious person in training, had good results and was always elected as the student council leader. |
 |
| In 1964, he graduated as a cadet captain and attended Fordham University. Despite his good grades, Trump chose the less prestigious school simply because it was the most convenient, being close to his home. When the Vietnam War broke out, Trump was a student and was deferred from military service. In 1968, after leaving the university, Trump was again deferred from military service for health reasons. |
 |
| In 1968, after graduating from college, Trump went to work for his father's company. By 1971, he had taken control of the company and renamed it The Trump Organization. Donald Trump also oversaw the company's shift from developing affordable housing projects in suburban New York to managing large-scale renovation projects in other areas of the city. |
 |
| Donald Trump's father made a fortune building low-cost housing in suburban New York. When Fred died in 1999, his net worth was estimated at $250 million to $400 million. Donald Trump is believed to have inherited between $40 million and $200 million from his father, although he claimed to have started his business with a small loan of $1 million.

 |
| Donald Trump has always had the ambition to have his name appear everywhere, from Trump World Tower, Trump Plaza to Trump International Hotel. Besides the US, Trump Tower also appeared in Türkiye, India and the Philippines. Trump also spent a lot of money to invest in casinos and golf courses. |
 |
| Donald Trump always stays away from cigarettes, alcohol and coffee."I have a brother, Fred. A very handsome man, a wonderful man, much better than me. But he had a problem with alcohol, and he told me: 'Don't drink, absolutely don't drink.' He was older than me, I listened to him and respected him" - the US President recalled when speaking at the White House on October 26, 2016. |
 |
| Mr. Trump does not like shaking hands. He says he does not like to touch anyone’s hand because he always thinks they have touched other things. Whenever he has to shake hands, he usually avoids it by pulling the other person closer and patting them on the shoulder. |
 |
| From 1996 to 2015, Donald Trump owned part of or was the boss of many major beauty pageants such as: Miss Universe, Miss USA, Miss Teen... |
 |
| There are many estimates of Donald Trump's net worth after taxes. According to the prestigious magazine Forbes, Donald Trump's assets are 4.15 billion USD. However, Donald Trump "showed off" that his assets were up to 10 billion USD. In 1988 alone, Trump increased his total assets 4 times, from 1 billion USD to 4 billion USD. |
 |
| Mr. Trump has 6 children with 3 wives. With his first wife, Ivana, he had Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka. With his second wife, Marla Maples, he had a daughter, Tiffany. With his current wife, Melania, he had a son, Baron. Currently, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka work for The Trump Organization. |
 |
| Donald Trump’s hair is a “means of identification” that he is very proud of. He has always insisted that it is real hair despite many public controversies. During the election campaign, he once asked a stranger to check it by holding and pulling it to prove it was “real”. |
 |
| Trump's self-funded campaign is one of the reasons why American voters support him. However, Trump's campaign is the least expensive of any Republican candidate in the past 16 years. In part, his bombastic statements attract press coverage, saving him money on television advertising. |
 |
| Trump is a “self-assured” man. In a 2004 interview with The Daily News, he said: “All the women on The Apprentice flirted with me, whether intentionally or not. And that’s fine.” |
