A few months before the war ended, Bush married Mrs. Barbara Pierce. He then returned to study at Yale University for 3 years with a Bachelor of Economics. Although he was invited to work at his family's company, Trump decided to move to West Texas with his newborn wife and son to work for the Dresser Industries oil company. Not long after, Trump established his own company in the oil and gas sector. Photo: George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

After successfully building a business career, Trump began to participate more actively in the political field. In 1964, he became chairman of the Harris County Republican Party.
