Introducing Donald Trump: 10 things you need to know about the new US president

Hair:

Donald Trump’s hair has been the subject of both ridicule, and fascination - for decades. In the run-up to the 2016 US presidential elections, Trump's luscious locks were turned into countless memes. 

A former hairdresser, Amy Lasch, earlier this year revealed the secrets of his infamous quiff. She described his blonde dye job as a “calamity”, and dismissed rumours that the businessman wore a toupee or had a hair transplant.

“He has really long hair and he combs it back straight," she said.

Wives: 

Trump has been married three times. His first two marriages - to Czech model Ivana Zelnickova (RIGHT), and TV personality Marla Maples - both ended in divorce.

He married his third wife - the new First Lady, Slovene model Melania Trump (nee Knauss) - in 2005. Melania became a naturalized US citizen in 2006.

Trump has five children, and eight grandkids. 

Bankruptcy:

The billionaire has had his fair share of notable business successes, and failures. The real estate tycoon has filed for bankruptcy six times, but has always managed to return to the forefront of business - stronger each time. (He is a billionaire, after all!)

Wealth: 

In 2016, Forbes magazine estimated Trump's net worth at $3.7 billion - making him the richest president in American history. The magazine also ranked him as the 156th wealthiest person in the US, in 2016.

Trump University: 

Trump University LLC was an American non-profit company that ran a real estate training programme, from 2005 until 2010. It was founded by Trump and two associates, and offered courses in real estate, asset management, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation.

But in October 2014, a New York judge found Trump personally liable for operating the company without the required business license. It's now become defunct.

The Apprentice: 

Trump's reality show, The Apprentice, has garnered international acclaim. The premise of the game show  judges the business skills of a group of contestants. Trump's role was to hire and fire contestants - a role he seemed to relish during his 14-season stint as host.

The show has been nominated twice for a Primetime Emmy Award, in the reality-competition category. Trump, nor the popular show, have won this award.

Donald Trump: Movie star:

He's acted in 10 blockbuster movies - usually in cameo roles. Some of Trump's most notable guest performances include Zoolander, Two Weeks Notice, and The Little Rascals. He's also appeared in an adult movie: Playboy Video Centerfold: Playmate 2000 - again, starring as himself.

Trump has also made numerous TV appearances, on shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (PICTURED BELOW), The Nanny, and Sex and the City.

In 1990, the businessman won a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor, for his role in the film, Ghosts Can't Do It.

(We managed to find a clip of the movie, to show-off Trump's acting prowess.)

Religious views: 

Trump is a Presbyterian. In an April 2011 interview, he commented: "I'm a Protestant, I'm a Presbyterian. And you know I've had a good relationship with the church over the years. I think religion is a wonderful thing. I think my religion is a wonderful religion."

He also once claimed that while he participates in Holy Communion, he has not asked God for forgiveness for his sins. He stated, "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture."

Awards and accolades:

Trump is a recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including being named as one of TIME magazine's most influential people in the world, for 2016.

In 1986, he was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor - in celebration of "patriotism, tolerance, brotherhood and diversity."

He also won the Muhammed Ali Entrepreneur Award in 2007, and was an inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.

Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: 

Trump was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2007 - for his work on his hit television series, The Apprentice.

However, the star was repeatedly defaced during his 2016 presidential campaign. In October this year, a man was arrested for vandalysm, after he used a sledge hammer and a pickax to destroy all of the star's brass inlays.
