Donald Trump is 80: facts about the US president that not everyone knows

Donald Trump celebrates his 80th birthday on June 14. This politician has a path from a soda bottle collector to a developer, a TV star and the 45th (and then 47th) president of the United States.

Few people know that Trump's tough rhetoric on migration contrasts with his own family's history.

Trump paid $ 25 million in this lawsuit, formally not admitting guilt.

He was widely known for the reality show The Apprentice ("The Apprentice"). It was there that the catchphrase "You're fired" ("You're fired") was fixed, and in 2007 Trump received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
