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

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.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
