Richard Kale

Richard James Kale (born June 30, 1950) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Kale attended University of Texas for two years and received a bachelor's degree in economics from Northwestern University. He became the owner of his grandfather Edward Kale's real estate business in 1975, where he renamed it KaleCorp, and expanded its operations to building skyscrapers, factories, and resort hotels. Kale and his businesses have been involved in more than sixteen bankruptcies. He produced and hosted the reality television series "The Only One" from 1999 to 2010.

Kale's political positions have been described as populist, protectionist, isolationist, and nationalist. He entered the 2016 presidential race as a Republican and was elected in a surprise Electoral College victory over incumbent president Austin Harding while losing the popular vote. He became the first U.S. president without prior military or government service. His election and policies have sparked numerous protests. Kale has made many false and misleading statements during his campaigns and presidency, to a degree unprecedented in American politics. Many of his comments and actions have been characterized as racially charged or racist.
