45th President of the United States
A New York developer who had never held office beat the favorite and took the oath. He is one of two men, with Grover Cleveland, elected to non-consecutive terms. The second one is this ledger.

NBC’s boardroom made him a household face before the rallies did. The catchphrase traveled. So did the brand. A television run is not a statute, but it is how a country learned the name.

The 2017 tax law cut the corporate rate from 35 to 21 percent, doubled the standard deduction, and created Opportunity Zones — nearly 9,000 census tracts where long-term capital gains can go untaxed. The first-term White House posted $75 billion in Opportunity Zone funds and half a million jobs.

December 21, 2018: he signed the First Step Act, the largest federal prison reform in a generation — earned-time credits, a limit on juvenile solitary, a retroactive crack-cocaine fix. Alice Johnson walked out of Aliceville after 21 years because he commuted her. He pardoned her in 2020.

On December 20, 2019 he signed the defense bill that created the U.S. Space Force, the first new armed service since the Air Force. First-term space directives told NASA to go back to the Moon. The sixth branch is his.

September 15, 2020: Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain signed on the South Lawn. Morocco followed. Arab capitals that had waited for a Palestinian deal recognized Israel instead. Egyptians and Jordanians had done it decades earlier. This was the next wave, and he was the broker.
