Donald Trump
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in Queens, a borough of New York City, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan. The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He bought the Miss Universe brand of beauty pageants in 1996, and sold it in 2015. He produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television series, from 2003 to 2015. As of 2020, Forbes estimated his net worth to be $2.1 billion.[

This brings up a deeper question: What is “real” versus “not real” change? We can probably all agree, for example, that if Roe v.

Wade is overturned, it will represent “real” change in the reproductive health and rights of millions of people. But what about less concrete things like, say, equity measures in schools?

The dichotomy between “real” and “not real” can be found in an article by Adam Serwer last month in The Atlantictitled “The Amazon Union Exposes the Emptiness of ‘Woke Capital.’” The term “woke capital” is a bit amorphous, but it generally refers to attempts by corporate America and elite cultural institutions to gesture toward social justice movements without changing their stranglehold on resources.
