Ever since he announced a run for the White House in 2015, former President Donald Trump dominated headlines in the United States and around the world.
Many attributed Trump’s surprise victory in 2016 partly to the media’s obsession with the real estate billionaire and reality television star. His popularity continued to grow throughout the four years in office, evidenced by the tens of millions of followers on social media and the record number of votes—74 million—cast for an incumbent president.
