Following her studies, Maryanne decided to pursue a career as an attorney, becoming one of the only two women out of the 62 lawyers in the office of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
The big turning point for Maryanne came on September 14, 1983, when she was nominated for a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey by President Ronald Reagan.
In 1999, Bill Clinton nominated Maryanne to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. She maintained this position for years and assumed senior status in June 2011.

In the recordings, she stated that her brother had someone take the college entrance exam in his place and openly described him as ‘cruel’.

Trump graduated from Wharton School in 1968 and served as the president of his father’s business three years later. This used to be a real estate company, but Trump expanded it so that it also worked on skyscrapers, hotels, golf courses, and casino renovation and construction works.
However, this was not Trump’s only job, as he tried several ones in life. For instance, from 2004 to 2015, he co-produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television series which ran for 14 seasons on NBC.
Trump is considered a populist, isolationist, nationalist, and protectionist politician. Following his election as president, a 2017-2019 counsel investigation established that the Russian government had interfered in the vote to favor him.
The 45th US president is also known for having made a number of false statements, something which has never happened to this degree in the US. On top of this, several of his affirmations have been declared racist and misogynistic by several media.
During his presidency, Trump funded the creation of a wall between the US and Mexico, implemented a travel ban on citizens from several countries with a Muslim majority, and introduced a policy of family separation for apprehended migrants.
His policies were considered way too slow and ineffective in reaction to the pandemic and extremely weak when dealing with denuclearization in North Korea.
