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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
