5 Apolitical Facts You Didn't Know About Donald Trump's Past
Gage Skidmore

Given all the media coverage on Donald Trump over the past year, the average American may consider himself/herself an expert on our 45th President. Indeed, due to constant updates on things such as offensive Twitter rants and unexpected firings, America is no longer fazed by the multi-millionaire's questionable and often unpredictable actions. But how many are informed about his intriguing and somewhat hidden past? Here are 5 facts about Donald Trump that may surprise you.


1. He gave Kevin McCallister directions in "Home Alone 2."

Remember watching the "Home Alone" series when you were a kid? We all do. Too bad none of us recalled enough from the movie to realize our current President was in it.

2. He launched his own brand of Vodka, even though he doesn't drink.

Trump doesn't drink as his brother tragically died due to alcoholism at a relatively young age. Nevertheless, he released his own brand of vodka in 2006, only to end production in 2011 due to insignificant sales.

3. Trump has always been outspoken, even as child.

It seems the president's parents weren't so thrilled with his early childhood behavior, seeing as they sent him to New York Military Academy at the meager age of 13. On the bright side, at least we know Trump isn't afraid to speak his mind to anyone, including his parents!

4. He shaved WWE Owner Vince McMahon's head.

In 2007, Trump and WWE Owner Vince McMahon entered a bet known as "The Battle of Billionaires." Each billionaire selected a wrestler to fight on their behalf and the winner earned the privilege of shaving the loser's head. We all know who won.

5. Trump's World Tower used to be the tallest residential building in the world.

Trump World Tower was completed in 2001 as a residential skyscraper in Manhattan. It was ranked the tallest residential building in the world until the 21st Century Tower was built in Dubai.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
