[00:02] million at just 8 years old that his

[00:04] best friend was Michael Jackson or that

[00:06] he was a professional fighter these are

[00:08] 20 Donald Trump facts you didn't know

[00:09] and first this is Donald Trump walking

[00:26] out so far and wide keep Manhattan just

[00:29] give me that Country

[00:31] Side now next up for number 19 I bet you

[00:34] didn't know there's a man that loved

[00:36] Trump so much he sacrificed his own life

[00:38] for him see this is Busa Krishna a

[00:40] 33-year-old man living in India and

[00:42] Trump's biggest fan see it all started

[00:44] one night in 2016 when Busa went to

[00:46] sleep and while he was dreaming had a

[00:48] vision of trump coming to him and asking

[00:50] for his support and from that moment on

[00:51] Busa became obsessed with him so much so

[00:54] that he started referring to Trump as

[00:56] his God and to honor his God he spent a

[00:58] year building his very own statue of

[01:00] trump to pray to every day I carry his

[01:03] picture and before any work I pray to

[01:07] him he's like a god to me and that is

[01:10] the reason why I built a statue every

[01:12] Friday I fast for Trump's long life but

[01:15] not only that Busa only wore Trump

[01:18] shirts and even wrote letters to Trump

[01:20] weekly begging to meet him but in

[01:21] October 2020 busa's world came crashing

[01:24] down when Trump had tested positive for

[01:26] covid and was hospitalized Busa became

[01:29] so concerned that he made a pack he was

[01:31] going to lock himself in his bedroom and

[01:33] he wouldn't eat or drink anything until

[01:35] Trump was healthy and out of the

[01:36] hospital but after 5 days of not eating

[01:39] or drinking Busa stopped answering his

[01:41] door so his family broke into his room

[01:42] and when they found him it was already

[01:44] too late Busa had passed away from

[01:46] starvation and because his death was so

[01:48] tragic everyone in busa's community

[01:50] vowed to keep his Trump statue in honor

[01:52] of him now next up for number 18 I bet

[01:54] you didn't know doctors think Trump is

[01:56] killing himself see for his entire life

[01:59] Trump has stayed busy but there's only

[02:00] so many hours in the day and to get

[02:02] everything done Trump has to make the

[02:04] most of every minute so for almost his

[02:06] entire life Trump has been going to bed

[02:09] past 1:00 in the morning and waking up

[02:11] by 6:00 a.m. or earlier leaving him with

[02:14] only 4 to 5 hours of sleep per night I'm

[02:17] working L hours L hours right up till

[02:21] 12:00 1:00 in the morning you can what

[02:23] time you get up uh 5:00 Trump's SL

[02:27] asleep is actually starting to scare

[02:29] doctors leaving some to believe that one

[02:31] day it'll lead to his death there's

[02:34] going to come a reckoning point for the

[02:36] long term it is really unhealthy to try

[02:41] to survive on such little sleep now next

[02:43] up for number 17 I bet you didn't know

[02:46] there's an entire town dedicated to

[02:48] Donald Trump see this is Boones Mill

[02:50] Virginia AKA Trump town a place with the

[02:52] population is only 259 people but they

[02:55] all share one thing in common their love

[02:57] for Donald Trump and at the center of

[02:58] the town is the official trumptown City

[03:00] Hall open 7 days a week and owned by a

[03:03] man named Whitey Taylor and this place

[03:05] is a major tourist attraction bringing

[03:07] in hundreds of thousands of people from

[03:09] all around the country hi welcome to the

[03:11] Trump SCH why'd you come in today to get

[03:13] some uh Trump stuff so I can advertise

[03:16] and you know support him can only get

[03:19] these here see it's all thanks to

[03:21] White's insane collection of trump

[03:23] memorabilia this store has everything

[03:25] from Trump mug shot mugs Flags

[03:27] bobbleheads dart boards with Joe Biden's

[03:29] face on it and many golden Trump statues

[03:31] but his bestselling item is something

[03:33] you'd never expect what's that that's a

[03:37] Trump's balls okay now next up for

[03:39] number 16 I bet you didn't know some

[03:42] Trump fans have the weirdest tattoos see

[03:45] one guy paid $500 for this it just come

[03:48] to me one day and I said I'm going to

[03:50] get a trump tattoo and I did it another

[03:52] guy got a tattoo of Trump's

[03:53] assassination attempt and there's even a

[03:55] woman who got Trump tatted on her

[03:57] forehead people are asking why I got

[03:59] this t at the end of the day I

[04:01] absolutely love and appreciate what

[04:03] Trump has done for America and I just

[04:04] feel like he needs to be appreciated but

[04:06] there's one man named Zack Cobert who

[04:09] got the worst tattoo of them all see

[04:10] during the 2016 election Zach made a bet

[04:13] with his friends that Trump would lose

[04:14] the election and if he lost this bet

[04:16] he'd have to get a stamp of

[04:18] Trump's face and well we all know what

[04:20] happened next I just wish I was getting

[04:22] a a normal tattoo something that I

[04:25] wanted if I keep losing bets maybe we'll

[04:27] keep going now next up for number 15

[04:30] I bet you didn't know Donald Trump owns

[04:32] 14 cars but isn't allowed to drive a

[04:35] single one of them see Trump's a

[04:36] billionaire so of course he's got some

[04:38] of the craziest cars out there like his

[04:40] vintage Rolls-Royce his custom Trump

[04:42] cybertruck and craziest of them all the

[04:44] Trump limo which is completely bullet

[04:46] and bombproof can drop tear gas smoke

[04:49] bombs and slippery liquid to prevent

[04:51] people from chasing him and his interior

[04:53] is completely decked out in solid gold

[04:55] but unfortunately for Trump these cars

[04:57] are completely useless to him cuz not

[05:00] only has he not driven them in 9 years

[05:02] but there's a special law in the US that

[05:04] bans presidents and former presidents

[05:06] from driving now look for number 14 I

[05:08] bet you didn't know how crazy Donald

[05:10] Trump's biggest fan is see this is Jee

[05:12] Hubert and Jean's just a regular guy

[05:14] from Florida who sells cars for living

[05:16] has a wife and two kids but in 2017 Jean

[05:19] heard Trump was coming to town and he

[05:20] knew he had to be the first in line so

[05:23] this man decided to wait outside for

[05:24] over 16 hours before the rally started

[05:27] in order to guarantee he had the best

[05:28] seat in the house house and his

[05:30] dedication was so impressive even the

[05:32] news picked it up Mr President I've been

[05:34] with you for 2 years you probably heard

[05:36] this every single second every day I got

[05:39] a 6-foot cardboard president Trump in my

[05:42] house and I salute that every single day

[05:45] and tell him Mr President I pray for

[05:47] your safety today and when the time

[05:49] finally came and Trump was on stage Jean

[05:51] made sure he was the loudest person in

[05:53] the building to cheer for Trump cuz

[05:55] Trump recognized Jean from the news and

[05:57] that's when something unbelievable

[05:59] happened

[06:04] this guy he's been all over television

[06:06] saying the best things and I see him

[06:08] standing and didn't you get here like at

[06:10] 4 in the morning did Sir say a couple of

[06:12] words to

[06:12] [Music]

[06:14] this Mr President thank you sir we the

[06:19] people all movement is the reason why

[06:23] all president of the United States is

[06:26] standing here in front of us

[06:28] today from that moment on Jean dedicated

[06:31] his entire life to Trump so he quickly

[06:33] got to work and wrote an entire book on

[06:35] his experience with Trump called the hug

[06:37] of the American people he turned his

[06:39] house into a full-on trump Museum and

[06:41] souvenir shop and every single morning

[06:43] Jean wakes up and salutes a cardboard

[06:44] cut out of trump thanking him for

[06:46] changing his life now for number 13 I

[06:49] bet you had no idea there's a statue of

[06:51] Donald Trump worth hundreds of thousands

[06:53] of dollars see in 2019 a sculpture of

[06:55] Donald Trump sitting on a golden toilet

[06:57] appeared in the middle of Washington DC

[06:59] and a man named Tommy Zan was not happy

[07:02] about it saying it was disrespectful to

[07:03] the president so Tommy decided he needed

[07:05] to make his own sculpture that honored

[07:07] Trump and after 3 months of working on

[07:09] it he cooked up something insane a 6'

[07:12] tall 200lb golden Trump statue and after

[07:16] completing it Tommy had to show it off

[07:18] to the world so he went on to bring it

[07:19] to a convention in Florida and it became

[07:21] such a massive hit Tommy decided to make

[07:23] two more and even sold them for $100,000

[07:26] I thought I could design something that

[07:28] was in better taste so uh I designed

[07:30] this this one here that I take on the

[07:32] road is made out of fiberglass and third

[07:34] one that I have right now is a bronze

[07:36] one that will eventually be 24 karat

[07:38] gold R now for number 12 I bet you

[07:40] didn't know Donald Trump went broke see

[07:43] in the 1980s Trump was slowly building

[07:45] his Empire with two casinos his very own

[07:47] Airline several buildings in New York

[07:49] City and a 280 ft yacht all worth 1.7

[07:52] billion but it all came at the worst

[07:54] time cuz the country was in a recession

[07:56] and the property Market hit an all-time

[07:58] low by 198 9 Trump's businesses had been

[08:01] pushed into $8.8 billion worth of debt

[08:04] and this was terrifying not only for

[08:06] Trump but for his daughter Ivanka too I

[08:08] remember once my father and I were

[08:10] walking down Fifth Avenue and there was

[08:12] a homeless person sitting right outside

[08:14] of Trump Tower and I remember my father

[08:16] pointing to him and saying you know that

[08:18] guy has $8 billion more than me because

[08:21] he was in such extreme debt at that

[08:22] point you know Trump could have just

[08:24] given up there but instead he evaluated

[08:26] all his options and began making moves

[08:28] like selling off his Airline going

[08:30] public with his businesses and renting

[08:31] out his properties until eventually by

[08:33] 1987 Trump was not only out of debt but

[08:36] actually worth over 1.5 billion which

[08:38] broke the world record for the greatest

[08:40] financial recovery in history back in

[08:42] the 1990s you owed something like $900

[08:44] million your Empire was pretty much much

[08:47] more than that you owed more than that

[08:48] 975 was personally guaranteed that was

[08:50] just the small part that was the harder

[08:52] debt but I owed many many billions of

[08:54] dollars and now my company is much

[08:56] bigger and stronger than it was in

[08:57] the'80s now for number 11 I bet you

[09:00] didn't know there's a man making

[09:02] millions of dollars by impersonating

[09:04] Donald Trump see by 2017 everyone in the

[09:06] world was trying to do their best Trump

[09:08] impression but some people took it to

[09:09] the next level like this construction

[09:11] worker in New York who sounded and

[09:13] looked just like Trump I go out with my

[09:16] crew every day they're tremendous people

[09:19] and we love McDonald's it's great I mean

[09:21] I live on McDonald's and da Coke it's a

[09:23] tremendous diet and look at how trim I

[09:25] look I'm the handsomest president in the

[09:27] world or this man who dressed up as

[09:28] Trump and found a couple friends to be

[09:30] Kim jung-un and Barack Obama hell

[09:33] there's even a man who's so good at

[09:34] Trump Impressions he got on America's

[09:36] Got Talent for it we are going to make

[09:39] America's Got Talent great

[09:42] again but nobody's Trump impression had

[09:44] a bigger impact than John D dominicos

[09:47] cuz he'd been practicing his Trump

[09:48] impression for over 12 years as a

[09:50] professional actor in Vegas and when the

[09:52] impression became popular JN was getting

[09:54] booked for all sorts of gigs private

[09:56] parties commercials even company outings

[09:59] and he got so popular and got so many

[10:01] bookings his Trump impression made him a

[10:03] millionaire I've been doing impression

[10:05] since I was 5 years old I've been doing

[10:06] Trump for 12 years yeah you must thought

[10:09] I'm going to make a fortune I yeah you

[10:11] know what it was it was just more that

[10:13] I'm going to have steady work but this

[10:14] past year has just been crazy things are

[10:17] really looking up but anyways we've

[10:18] reached the top 10 which means you're

[10:20] about to see a side of trump you've

[10:21] never seen before and I bet you didn't

[10:23] know Donald Trump was a millionaire at

[10:25] just 8 years old see when Trump turned

[10:27] three his dad Fred started giving him an

[10:29] allowance I'm talking

[10:31] $200,000 every single year and this went

[10:34] on through Trump's entire childhood so

[10:37] by the time he was just 8 years old

[10:38] Trump was officially a millionaire the

[10:41] craziest part though if it was in

[10:42] today's money Trump would have had $12

[10:44] million at just8 now next up for number

[10:47] nine did you know Donald Trump getting

[10:49] shot made him millions of dollars see in

[10:51] July 2024 after man tried to end Trump's

[10:54] life Trump came up with a genius idea to

[10:57] capitalize on the moment releasing 5,000

[10:59] Hair S of the Trump assassination

[11:00] sneakers these sneakers featured a

[11:02] picture of him with his fist in the air

[11:04] and the words fight fight fight on the

[11:05] side so with each one going for $300 and

[11:08] with them selling out in Just 4 hours

[11:10] this made Trump a total of $1.5 million

[11:14] now next up for number eight what if I

[11:15] told you that Donald Trump's best friend

[11:18] was Michael Jackson see back in 1988

[11:20] Donald Trump was at Madison Square

[11:22] Garden for charity event and when he

[11:23] looked over to his left he couldn't

[11:24] believe his eyes the King of Pop Michael

[11:27] Jackson was 10 ft away so Donald went

[11:29] over to him started talking about music

[11:31] and what it was like to be a huge star

[11:33] and the two instantly hit it off well I

[11:34] knew Michael very well and he was a

[11:36] special guy he was with me many many

[11:39] times at maralago in particular and so

[11:41] many unbelievable weekends took place

[11:43] with Michael especially in Palm Beach a

[11:46] great great Entertainer the best I've

[11:48] ever seen Michael not only ended up

[11:50] moving into the Trump Tower and became

[11:51] closer to Trump but Trump started

[11:53] inviting Michael over to his house to

[11:55] hang out and play with his kids Michael

[11:56] would come over watch MTV play video

[11:58] games build the Trump Tower with Legos

[12:01] and he even showed up to ivanka's school

[12:02] performance of The Nutcracker but when

[12:04] Michael passed away in 2009 nobody

[12:06] missed him more than Donald Trump now

[12:08] next up there's no way you knew about

[12:10] number seven what if I told you there's

[12:12] one record Donald Trump holds that

[12:15] nobody wants to break see you don't

[12:17] become a billionaire without making a

[12:18] few enemies and well over the years

[12:20] Donald Trump's made a lot of enemies cuz

[12:22] he's been sued more than anyone in

[12:24] history from trademark lawsuits to

[12:26] casino cases personal injuries on

[12:28] Trump's property real estate basically

[12:30] anything you can think of Trump's been

[12:32] sued for it and he holds the record for

[12:34] being the most sued person in history

[12:36] with over 3,000 lawsuits but not only

[12:39] that Trump sued people too and so in

[12:41] total he's been involved in over 4,000

[12:44] total lawsuits now next up for number

[12:46] six I bet you didn't know you can sleep

[12:48] in Donald Trump's house see this is

[12:50] Trump's house that he lived in until he

[12:52] was 4 years old featuring five bedrooms

[12:54] 3 and 1 half bathrooms and 14 beds and

[12:57] it's all thanks to Airbnb anyone can

[12:59] stay here for 800 a night and for any

[13:01] Trump fan this place is a dream come

[13:03] true cuz it's full of trump decorations

[13:05] like a cardboard cutout famous photos of

[13:07] trump on the wall and it even comes

[13:08] stock with coffee mugs of his face but

[13:11] the weirdest part about this place is

[13:12] there's a plaque in one of the rooms

[13:14] that says in this room president Donald

[13:17] J Trump was likely conceived by his

[13:19] parents Fred and Mary Trump but if you

[13:21] think that's crazy number five will blow

[13:23] your mind cuz you'll never guess where

[13:24] Donald Trump has a restaurant inspired

[13:26] after see Trump's not just an icon in

[13:28] America he's a global icon who has fans

[13:31] all around the world including a man

[13:32] named Nar zati who in 2016 after hearing

[13:36] about Trump's promises to protect his

[13:38] country decided to pay respect to him by

[13:40] honoring Trump with his very own

[13:41] restaurant called Trump fish now while

[13:43] the restaurant only sells one dish

[13:45] called MZ goof which is just grilled

[13:47] fish with olive oil lemon and spices

[13:49] it's a major hit in the city and the

[13:51] only way to order it is by visiting the

[13:53] restaurant located in Iraq yeah Trump

[13:55] has a restaurant dedicated to him all

[13:57] the way in Iraq but Trump's life really

[13:59] is a movie cuz for number four what if I

[14:01] told you Donald Trump is technically one

[14:03] of the worst actors in history see

[14:05] growing up Donald Trump was obsessed

[14:07] with acting in fact his dream was to go

[14:09] out to California and study film at USC

[14:12] now while he went on to give that up to

[14:13] pursue business instead once he got

[14:15] famous he came up with a genius idea

[14:17] that would allow him to live out his

[14:18] childhood dreams cuz he realized that

[14:21] everyone wanted to use his buildings to

[14:23] film in so he made a rule that if anyone

[14:25] wanted to film in his buildings they had

[14:27] to put him in a scene and it helped him

[14:28] land roll and movies and TV shows like

[14:30] Home Alone Little Rascals the fresh

[14:32] prince of belir and Zoolander but in

[14:34] 2019 Donald Trump received an award no

[14:37] actor wants cuz he won a razi award

[14:40] which is an award show honoring the

[14:41] worst cinematic failures of the Year and

[14:44] that year he won the award for worst

[14:46] actor in a leading role officially

[14:48] making him one of the worst actors in

[14:50] history and the 2018 Razzy for worst

[14:53] performance by an actor in a leading

[14:55] role belongs to Donald J Trump as him

[14:59] himself and death of a nation and

[15:00] Fahrenheit 119 but don't worry though

[15:03] the man is still talented cuz for number

[15:04] three I bet you didn't know all the

[15:06] world records Donald Trump holds see

[15:08] over the years Trump has managed to

[15:10] break some of the most unbelievable

[15:11] world records for example did you know

[15:13] that he holds the world record for the

[15:15] fastest person to perform a business

[15:17] deal in just 3 minutes or how about the

[15:19] fact that he's the highest paid speaker

[15:21] for an event at 1.5 million what about

[15:24] the fact that he has the most expensive

[15:26] presidential inauguration at $7 million

[15:30] but one of his craziest accomplishments

[15:32] is being the person with the most

[15:34] searched Wikipedia page of all time with

[15:37] over 243 million searches that's 45

[15:40] million more views than the second most

[15:42] searched person Elizabeth II but look

[15:44] next up I bet you didn't know number two

[15:46] that Donald Trump could beat you in a

[15:48] fight cuz he loves fighting so much he

[15:50] became a black belt see Donald Trump

[15:52] always loved fighting as a kid in high

[15:54] school he grew up getting in fist fights

[15:55] and as he got older he became a huge fan

[15:57] of boxing in fact not only did Trump

[16:00] host tons of fights for Mike Tyson but

[16:02] he also became best friends with Mike

[16:03] too and in the early 2000s Trump heard

[16:06] about an upand cominging League called

[16:07] the UFC and he decided to help them gain

[16:09] attention by hosting fights and

[16:11] investing in them and after years of

[16:13] helping the UFC he befriended the head

[16:14] of the UFC Dana White Dana has gone on

[16:17] to say the UFC wouldn't have survived if

[16:19] it wasn't for the help of Donald Trump

[16:21] since then Trump has become a UFC fan

[16:23] favorite having walkouts at multiple UFC

[16:25] fights calling fighters to congratulate

[16:27] them on their championships even

[16:28] shocking the UFC world when he revealed

[16:30] his favorite fighter was khib but in

[16:33] November 2021 we got the most surprising

[16:35] fight news yet cuz Trump decided to

[16:37] invite Lee dong suup the president of

[16:40] the world Taekwondo headquarters in

[16:41] South Korea to Mara Lago to hang out and

[16:44] despite Trump never getting in a

[16:45] Taekwondo match in his life Trump

[16:47] received a legendary gift as a token of

[16:50] respect an honorary ninth degree black

[16:52] belt the highest level that can be

[16:54] achieved by professional martial artists

[16:56] and Trump even says if he's elected

[16:58] president again he'll wear his belt and

[17:00] ta kwondo outfit in the white house but

[17:02] look we've got one final thing you

[17:04] didn't know about Donald Trump see I

[17:06] guarantee that you didn't know about the

[17:08] time Trump granted a dying man his last

[17:11] wish see this is Jay Barrett a

[17:13] 44-year-old from West Haven Connecticut

[17:15] and in 2019 Jay was diagnosed with

[17:17] cystic fibrosis and was told by doctors

[17:20] he had only a week left to live when he

[17:22] got the news he was devastated but with

[17:24] his life coming to an end Jay started to

[17:26] think about what really mattered to him

[17:28] and he realized

[17:29] all he wanted to do before he died was

[17:31] one thing meet president Donald Trump

[17:33] now for most people this would be

[17:35] impossible but Jay's sister Bridget

[17:37] worked in politics and went to social

[17:39] media asking if anyone could help make

[17:41] Jay's wish come true after hundreds of

[17:43] people saw her tweets and heard about

[17:44] Jay's story everyone started sending

[17:46] emails to the White House doing

[17:48] everything they could to get president

[17:50] Trump's attention but after a few days

[17:52] Jay didn't hear anything back and he

[17:54] thought he was going to die without

[17:55] getting his wish but then on March 5th

[17:58] 2019

[17:59] Jay couldn't believe his eyes his phone

[18:01] lit up and he realized he was getting a

[18:03] call from the White House very proud of

[18:05] you and say hello to your family and

[18:07] sister and everybody and I'll talk to

[18:09] you again Jay okay all right thank you

[18:45] it's overwhelming Jay let Trump know
