The President of the United States of America (acronym: POTUS) is the head of state and head of government of the United States. The president leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.
Article II of the U.S. Constitution vests the executive power of the United States in the president and charges him with the execution of federal law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves, and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances. Since the founding of the United States, the power of the president and the federal government have grown substantially and each modern president, despite possessing no formal legislative powers beyond signing or vetoing congressionally passed bills, is largely responsible for dictating the legislative agenda of his party and the foreign and domestic policy of the United States. The president is frequently described as the most powerful person in the world.
The United States of America (commonly abbreviated to the United States, the U.S., the USA, America, and the States) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west, across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories in the Pacific and Caribbean.
At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km2) and with over 312 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and the third largest by both land area and population. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The U.S. economy is the world's largest national economy, with an estimated 2011 GDP of $15.1 trillion (22% of nominal global GDP and over 19% of global GDP at purchasing-power parity). Per capita income is the world's sixth-highest.
Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American business magnate, television personality and author. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's extravagant lifestyle, outspoken manner and role on the NBC reality show The Apprentice have made him a well-known celebrity who was No. 17 on the 2011 Forbes Celebrity 100 list. He is well-known as a real-estate developer who amassed vast hotel, casino, and other real-estate properties, in the New York City area and around the world.
Trump is the son of Fred Trump, a wealthy New York City real-estate developer. He worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1968 officially joined the company. He was given control of the company in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization.
In 2010, Trump expressed an interest in becoming a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election. In May 2011, he announced he would not be a candidate, but a few weeks later he said he had not completely ruled out the possibility. In December 2011, Trump was suggested as a possible Vice Presidential selection by Michele Bachmann. Bachmann has since suspended her presidential campaign.

Police Chief: And besides, I told you over and over again to be careful.::Zeus: Be careful? Be careful of what? What do you want me to do, huh? Lift my hands and tell them, "Shoot!" When someone is pointing a gun at me and, in so many words, tells me they're going to kill me, I have a right to protect myself. And I have a right to protect myself because these people need me. And they need me because I care about them and when I go out on a mission, I do the right job! For Christ sake boss, I've faced death a thousand and one times for this badge because I stood for something. I've been stabbed, shot, beaten up and kicked in the ass. I've chased spies and dirty scum from one end of the world to the other. I was even buried alive for two whole days and now you want it back. Well, go on... take it! Take it! I'm finished with it. That's it!

I fought!::Karras: Well not enough damn it!::Police Chief: You seem to forget there are two dead cops out there.::Karras: Cops my ass! I'll go through the entire department and if I find another cop like that, I'll kill the S.O.B. Those two cops were traitors and they got what they deserve. And believe that!

You do know that.::Police Chief: Yes, I do!::Karras: Well, if this country doesn't want him, I'm sure another country does. Why don't we just sell him or put him in a circus or something? You could have done anything... anything but taken his badge away. We've killed his pride damn it!::Police Chief: Listen Karras. Not you or me has the right to say that. It is the politicians who have the final say. The politicians!::Karras: Oh, fuck the politicians!
