Trump Administration

The presidency of Donald Trump began at noon EST on January 20, 2017, when Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States, and ended on January 20, 2021. Trump, a Republican originally from New York City, took office following his surprise Electoral College victory over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, in which he did not win a plurality of the popular vote. Trump made many false or misleading statements during his campaign and presidency. His presidency ended following his defeat in the 2020 presidential election by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump was unsuccessful in his efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but rescinded the individual mandate and took measures to hinder the ACA's functioning. Trump sought substantial spending cuts to major welfare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.
