Donald Trump was the 45th President of the United States of America.
History
A public figure, Donald Trump was known for his wealth,[1] ostentatious hair, and social media presence.[2] During the campaign to succeed Barack Obama as President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, unlike his competitors, was not given a rebranding by the Fifth Dimensional Imp Bat-Mite, who felt that even his reality-warping powers could not make Trump a more attractive candidate.[3] The prospect of his election led British expatriate John Constantine to leave New York City for his home country.[4] Though Trump was successful in his bid for the presidency, he was unpopular among some of the American people, who believed him to be mentally ill[5] or were afraid of his influence.[6]
He traveled to an alien solar system to watch a boxing match for the fate of the Earth between the criminal Harley Quinn and the alien Hun'ka hosted by the Scrubb Empire, who Trump planned to have build a wall around the Earth once he had been elected president of the planet.[7] Trump was photographed with his fellow businessman Lex Luthor, a picture Luthor displayed prominently in his office at LexCorp in Metropolis.[8]
The Wall
Trump's administration created the cybernetic super-soldier the Wall, a public operative of the United States Government whose activation made Amanda Waller's covert Suicide Squad obsolete and was personally announced by the President to the American public.[9] President Trump fell under the mental control of the supervillain Poison Ivy along with most of the world's population,[10] until the vigilante Batman convinced her to release them.[11]
He gave the order for the inmates held at Belle Reve penitentiary, headquarters of the now-defunct Suicide Squad, to be relocated to more secure facilities and had the Wall perform a flyby at a press conference of his on the White House lawn before before sending him across the border into Canada to strike at a group of metahuman terrorists. His mind was hijacked once more, along with those of the Wall and the rest of the population of Washington, D.C., by the technopathic villain Hack and was held hostage to force a confrontation between her and the Suicide Squad.[12] The Squad succeeded in freeing the president and his constituents, for which he had the program reactivated.[13]
In Washington, he held a White House Correspondents' Dinner at which he was criticized by reporter Lois Lane of the Daily Planet newspaper for the casualties inflicted by drone strikes carried out by his administration in Somalia.[14]
Doomsday Clock
When the American superheroes Superman and Firestorm were implicated in the deaths of Russian civilians, President Trump was urged by aides to condemn the former and conceal the latter's ties to the US Department of Metahuman Affairs, despite his personal wishes to use the two heroes as a military deterrent and scapegoat, respectively.[15] Trump had Batman charged with treason for sabotaging the United States' nuclear arsenal, while at the same time lauding his colleague Wonder Woman for fighting to hold back Black Adam of Kahndaq and his metahuman revolutionary army at the United Nations Building in New York City.[16]
The President was briefed on the threat posed by the Kahndaqi forces by General Sam Lane, who unsuccessfully pushed for Trump to expose the Department of Metahuman Affairs. When Wonder Woman was taken into custody by her fellow Amazons, Black Adam and his allies marched on Washington, landing on the White House lawn just as the President was to be evacuated by helicopter, which they destroyed. President Trump was protected by Superman, however,[16] whose confrontation with Black Adam escalated into a brawl between the superhumans of many nations over custody of the hero. Though Superman and his allies were victorious, the DMHA's creation of government-sponsored metahumans was revealed to the world, and Amanda Waller pushed for Trump's impeachment over his knowledge of and support for the program.[17]
He was mistakenly reported dead by Galaxy Broadcasting News,[18] and gave a presidential order banning all superheroes from Gotham City after it was taken over by the criminal Bane.[19] By the time of the passage of the Amazon Safety Act[20] and the "Beast World" crisis, Trump had been succeeded by the next President of the United States.[21]
