The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, is a man who has been in the middle of controversy. Trump has been in the public limelight since operating as a business tycoon and even as a polarising president of America. His controversies are not limited to the particular year they transpired but cover his entire life experiences in the personal, professional, and political spheres of his life. This article will discuss several issues that have been or could be attributed to Trump most widely and extensively.

1. Business Practices and Business Failures

That narrative has been part and parcel of building Trump as a self-made billionaire, but that business has not been without its flaws. Many Trump businesses have declared bankruptcy in the past, including Trump’s casinos based in Atlantic City. Sceptics say such failures are inconsistent with his boasts of being an astute economic manager.

The real estate training program known as Trump University received lawsuits regarding fraud. In 2016, Trump paid the cases for $25 million, despite his claims of not being guilty.

2. The “Access Hollywood” Tape

The 2016 presidential campaign produced one of the most damaging personal controversies for Trump. The billionaire was caught on a 2005 tape in which he bragged about groping women because he is famous. His reaction resulted in much uproar and made many people doubt his ability to hold office.

3. Banking Industry and the Financial Account

Immigration policy was one of Trump’s most important measures; he advocated a strict immigration policy. It sparked controversies when he called for the construction of a wall between the United States and Mexico. His administration received a lot of backlash after separating families at the border when implementing the “zero tolerance” policy.

4. Of course, based on the disinformation foundation, accusations of Russia’s interference are also present in the text.

Trump’s presidency was marred by charges of conspiracy with Russia during the presidential election of 2016. The investigation of the special counsel Robert Mueller in headlines lasted for two years. We didn’t find any collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia, but we didn’t clear Trump either of obstruction of justice.

5. Impeachments

Donald Trump is the only president in the history of America to have faced impeachment twice. The first one, in 2019, was initiated after accusations of improper conduct when he demanded that Ukraine open an investigation into Joe Biden, who became his main competitor during the presidential campaign in the United States. He was accused of abuse of power and contempt of Congress by the House of Representatives.

6. Handling of COVID-19

There were African opportunities that were criticised by Trump regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Some called his downplaying of the virus, his promotion of quack remedies, and his inconsistent statements about mask-wearing a lack of leadership.

7. Analysis of Tax Returns and Financial Audit

Indeed, Trump continued to refuse to release his tax returns for years while featuring himself as a successful businessman. When also some of the records of his taxes were released to the public, it was seen that in some of the years he had paid little federal income tax.

8. The Capitol Riot

The most significant and potentially least forgivable scandal in Trump’s career was the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Following a passionate speech in which he accused Democrats of cheating during the elections, supporters of the former president took over the Capitol, eventually halting the joint session to formally recognise Biden as the winner of the election.

9. Alliance and International Relations

Trump’s style of international relations was unconventional in many cases. Trump has not been quiet about sharing his opinions of other authoritarian heads of state such as Putin and Kim Jong-un, while at the same time disparaging long-time allies. His withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the Iran nuclear deal left opinions from around the world divided.

Final Thoughts

Now, let’s start with Donald Trump—one of the most popular and, at the same time, one of the most controversial presidents in the history of humanity”. His controversies, family- or politically related, have defined his image and character in American politics. His fans regard him as an opponent of the establishment who sought to change a corrupt system for the better, while his critics consider him an exclusivist who applied for the post of president to wreck democracy and all the important values that it holds.

Whether people have a love or hatred for him, it must be agreed that the man courts controversy like a few others: Donald Trump.
