As of 2016, he was listed by Forbes as the 324th wealthiest person in the world, and 156th in the United States.
In June 2015, Trump announced his candidacy(候选人资格)for president as a Republican and quickly emerged as the front-runner for his party’s nomination. In May 2016, his remaining Republican rivals suspended(暂停)their campaigns, and in July he was formally nominated for president at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
