Donald Trump has been engulfed in controversies even before he became president, however, the controversies he has raised during that time have not been given attention in the media, as has been the case in his last four years. During his tenure, Trump also got into trouble with his previous controversies. Sometimes Trump raised controversies about his relationship with porn stars and sometimes about the attitude towards Muslim countries. In such a situation, let us know, the top 5 controversies related to Donald Trump.

(1.) Muslim ban

As his first step as US President, Donald Trump signed an executive order banning citizens from seven Muslim countries from entering the US for 90 days. These countries included Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Trump denied that it was a 'Muslim ban' and said that it has been implemented to protect America from terrorism. But by then there was a fire. Demonstrations were held against Trump worldwide including the US. Critics said that if Trump really wanted to save America from terrorism, he should have banned Muslim countries where there is open evidence of terrorism. These include countries such as Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, UAE, Indonesia, and Afghanistan.

(2.) 'Bromance' with 'Rocket Man'

Donald Trump-Kim Jong Un

Donald Trump and Kim Jong are two such names of the global world, about which there was a lot of discussion among the people. In fact, after Donald Trump took office, his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was in turmoil. Trump named him 'Rocket Man' after Kim expanded his nuclear program. Relations between the two countries became increasingly tense. However, Kim then called Trump for a meeting. The two leaders met in Singapore and the world felt that now North Korea would abandon its dream of becoming a country with nuclear power. Trump also became the first president of the US to set foot on North Korea's land. They both wrote a lot of letters to each other. But since then the relationship between America and North Korea started to cool down. At the same time, now North Korea has started on the path of becoming a nuclear-rich country again, calling the US a threat.

(3.) Porn Star and Trump

In 2018, the world came to know about some such deep secrets of Donald Trump, which severed the dignity of the US President. Actually, porn star and former stripper Stormy Daniels published a book about their 2006 relationship. Stormy claimed that he had an affair with Trump between 2006–2007 and was paid to keep quiet on his relationship. In addition, Stormy signed a non-disclosure agreement with Trump's former personal secretary Michael Cohen, for which he filed a case in 2018 for release. Cohen gave Stormy US $ 1.3 million 11 days before the 2016 US election. However, after the election, Daniels filed a case to cancel the agreement. At first, Cohen denied the money, but the truth came out to the world when the case reached the court. The court ordered that Donald Trump will pay 33 lakh rupees ($ 44,100) to Storm Daniels as a lawyer for the legal battle.

(4.) Impeachment on trump twice

Trump became the first president in the history of America against whom impeachment motion was passed twice in the same term. He was impeached in December 2019, as he misused power by asking Ukraine's President Voldemir Zalensky to investigate corruption against Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Trump was impeached, but he was released from charges. A second impeachment was recently brought to Trump. when he was accused of inciting violence in the Capitol Building. Presently, the proposal was sent to the Senate. However, there is very little possibility of any action on Trump, as it is to be debated in the Senate on January 19 and his term will end at midnight.

(5.) George Floyd's murder and Trump's attitude

Demonstrations started around the world, including in the US, after the death of American black civilian George Floyd. Discussions started around the abuse against black citizens around the world. During this time, a picture came out in Washington DC, about which Trump was heavily criticized. Actually, President Trump was standing outside St. John's Church and people were protesting against him. Meanwhile, the police fired tear gas shells at the peaceful protesters to make way for trump. Trump was criticized worldwide for taking this picture. Trump said that justice would be given to George Floyd. But then, Trump also showed his double attitude by taking down the armed police against the protesters. Trump defended 17-year-old Kylie Rittenhouse, for who Trump was fiercely beaten. Kylie shot and killed two people demonstrating about Black Lives Matter. The US President called the protesters "terrible" and called the demonstrators "haters".
