0:00:11 > 0:00:12Good afternoon.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15I'm Ricky with your top stories.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Fist up, he's divided opinion, caused huge controversy,
0:00:18 > 0:00:22and shocked the world by winning the election to become US President.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25On Friday, Donald Trump will officially take charge of America.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Leah's travelled to Trump's home City of New York
0:00:28 > 0:00:35to find out who he is, and what kids there think of him.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Donald Trump is determined.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I'm going to build a wall and Mexico's going to pay for it.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Donald Trump is going to make America great again.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43God bless you!
0:00:43 > 0:00:49Donald Trump talks like this...
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Welcome to New York, the city that never sleeps.
0:00:52 > 0:00:59This is where Donald Trump was born, grew up and made a name for himself.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04But, despite that, many New Yorkers are not big fans.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Donald Trump is a joke.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I've never said I was a perfect person, nor pretended to be
0:01:08 > 0:01:10someone that I'm not.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Donald Trump is not my president.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So, just who is Donald Trump then?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Well, for starters, he grew up in this exclusive,
0:01:19 > 0:01:24well-off area of Queens, in this very house.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27He lived with his mum and dad, Mary and Fred Trump,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31and two brothers and two sisters.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34At school, he liked baseball and misbehaved, but from a young age
0:01:34 > 0:01:40he always had big ambitions to be rich and powerful.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44These kids have big ambitions in life too.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Like Trump, they are growing up in Queens, but life
0:01:46 > 0:01:50for them is very different.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I feel ashamed that I'm from Queens now, because this type
0:01:53 > 0:01:56of man grew up here, while I grew up in a whole other way
0:01:56 > 0:01:59because I was raised to be respectful to people.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02It's ridiculous to think that we're going to be led by
0:02:02 > 0:02:04this man who's so closed-minded.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08At the same time, it is kind of unsettling that we have a big
0:02:08 > 0:02:11billionaire buffoon that is going to be our president.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14His attitude, I think, does tick people off,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and I think it'll get in the way of what he wants to do for America.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21All I can say is you have to be hopeful because maybe, you never
0:02:21 > 0:02:26know, he could do something good.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Donald Trump really made a name for himself up here -
0:02:28 > 0:02:31that's Trump Tower.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Now, after taking over his dad's company, he became known
0:02:35 > 0:02:37for being a billionaire businessman and a reality TV star...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39You're fired.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42..not for being a politician.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Good morning, America.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Trump's unexpected rise to the White House is the top story
0:02:47 > 0:02:50on America's biggest morning news show.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53He doesn't talk like a politician and he's been able to plough his way
0:02:53 > 0:02:56through it because he says, look, I am not politically correct,
0:02:56 > 0:03:01and I'm not a politician, and I think to people watching him,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05those who like him, that is deeply appealing.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07His entire persona circles very much around being successful -
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I am a winner, I am a success, I am a self-made man, and so on.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14We have the best pizza in the world in Staten Island.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16And those are the qualities that appeal to these schoolkids
0:03:16 > 0:03:20in the area of Staten Island.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23When I was younger, me and my mum used to watch
0:03:23 > 0:03:25the Celebrity Apprentice all the time, and I realised
0:03:25 > 0:03:29the firmness in his talk and how he always wanted to get things done.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I personally feel that he'll do quite well,
0:03:31 > 0:03:32especially on the economy.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35He is very aggressive in how he speaks.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38It's just his way of expressing how he feels.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40A lot of people don't express it that way -
0:03:40 > 0:03:42that's why they are not familiar and that's why
0:03:42 > 0:03:44they don't like it that much.
0:03:44 > 0:03:51He wants to protect us by making sure that we have a border.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55The President of the United States of America is one of the most
0:03:55 > 0:03:58important jobs in the world.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Now, some people say Donald Trump isn't the right leader for America,
0:04:01 > 0:04:07while others say it's time for a new kind of politician.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Now millions of Americans, and people all over the world,
0:04:09 > 0:04:18will be waiting to find out what happens next.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Some tennis now and Britain's Dan Evans has pulled off
0:04:20 > 0:04:23the biggest win of his career, by beating Marin Cilic
0:04:23 > 0:04:25at the Australian Open.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Dan struggled early in the match but managed to turn it
0:04:28 > 0:04:30around against Cilic.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32He's now into the third round of the grand slam.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Andy Murray is also through but gave fans a scare
0:04:35 > 0:04:36when he rolled his ankle.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40He says its not too serious though.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43That's all from me but don't forget if you've been hearing words
0:04:43 > 0:04:46like Brexit and single market all over the news then head online
0:04:46 > 0:04:51where I've been trying to break down what they mean for you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Newsround's back tomorrow with Martin.
0:04:53 > 0:05:00Bye.
