Trump has made [[cameo appearance]]s in films and television series, and he appeared at the [[Miss USA]] pageants, which he owned from 1996 to 2015. He [[Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2000|sought]] the [[Reform Party of the United States of America|Reform Party]] presidential nomination in 2000, but withdrew before voting began. He hosted and co-produced ''[[The Apprentice (U.S. TV series)|The Apprentice]]'', a reality television series on [[NBC]], from 2004 to 2015. Trump and his businesses, as well as his personal life and political views, have for decades received considerable media exposure. As of October 2016, he is listed by ''[[Forbes]]'' as the 496th wealthiest person in the world, and 156th in the United States.

In June 2015, Trump announced [[Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016|his candidacy for president]] as a Republican and quickly emerged as the front-runner for [[2016 Republican National Convention|his party's nomination]]. In May 2016, his remaining Republican rivals suspended their campaigns, and in July he was formally nominated for president at the [[2016 Republican National Convention]]. Trump's campaign has received extensive media coverage and international attention. Many of his statements in interviews, on [[Twitter]], and at campaign rallies [[Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016#Controversies|have been controversial]] or false.<!-- This wording has consensus and is sourced in the body of the article; do not alter without discussion. See talk page 'RfC: Donald Trump's false campaign statements'. --> Several rallies during the primaries were accompanied by [[Protests of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016|protests or riots]]. Late in Trump's campaign a [[Donald Trump and Billy Bush recording controversy|2005 audio recording]] surfaced in which Trump bragged about forcibly kissing and [[groping]] women, and several women [[Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations|alleged similar conduct]] shortly thereafter. Trump apologized for the 2005 comments and vigorously denied the allegations.

Trump's policy positions include renegotiation of [[China–United States relations#Economic relations|U.S.–China trade deals]], opposition to particular trade agreements such as [[NAFTA]] and the [[Trans-Pacific Partnership]], stronger enforcement of [[Illegal immigration to the United States|immigration laws]] together with building a wall along the [[U.S.–Mexico border]], reform of [[Veteran#United States|veterans]]' care, repeal and replacement of the [[Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act|Affordable Care Act]], and tax cuts. Following the [[November 2015 Paris attacks]], Trump called for a temporary ban on all [[Muslims]] entering the United States, later stating that the ban would focus instead on countries with a proven history of [[terrorism]], until the level of [[vetting]] can be raised to screen out potential terrorists.

Trump has been publicly accused by at least twelve women of [[Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations|sexual assault]] since the 1980s. Several of these allegations preceded Trump's 2016 candidacy for president; many more arose during that campaign, especially after the revelation of a [[Donald Trump and Billy Bush recording controversy|2005 audio recording]] in which Trump appeared to brag about committing sexual assault. He has denied the allegations, describing them as part of a wider [[smear campaign|campaign to smear]] his candidacy and reputation.
