Trump's personality type is ESFP-A
According to the official website:
"As an ESFP (Entertainer), you’re the life of the party, bringing a vibrant energy to every room you enter. Your zest for life is contagious, and you have an uncanny ability to turn even the most mundane moments into exciting adventures. You live for the here and now, embracing each day with enthusiasm and a sense of wonder that others can’t help but admire.
Your charm and social prowess are your superpowers. You have a natural talent for reading people and situations, allowing you to adapt effortlessly to any social setting. This flexibility, combined with your quick wit and playful nature, makes you a master of lighthearted banter and storytelling. People are drawn to your warmth and authenticity, often finding themselves opening up to you with surprising ease.
While you excel in the spotlight, your abilities go far beyond mere showmanship. You’re a keen observer of the world around you, with a practical mindset that allows you to tackle problems with creative, hands-on solutions. Your approach to life is refreshingly straightforward – you see what needs to be done and you do it, often with a flair that turns even routine tasks into enjoyable experiences.
However, your love for the present moment can sometimes overshadow the need for future planning. You may find yourself avoiding tasks that require long-term focus or detailed analysis, preferring instead to jump from one exciting project to the next. This spontaneity is part of your charm, but it can also lead to challenges when life demands more structure and consistency. Your journey of personal growth often involves finding a balance between your free-spirited nature and the need for stability and long-term vision.
In your professional life, you thrive in environments that are as dynamic and engaging as you are. Your ideal career is one that allows you to interact with people, use your hands-on skills, and tackle new challenges every day. You excel in roles that require quick thinking and adaptability, where your natural charm and ability to read people can shine. Fields like sales, entertainment, teaching, or event planning often appeal to your outgoing nature and love for variety.
However, you may find yourself struggling in careers that demand strict adherence to rules or long hours of solitary, detailed work. Your spontaneous nature can make it challenging to stick to rigid schedules or engage in extensive planning. To truly flourish in your career, you’ll need to find ways to channel your enthusiasm and people skills while also developing strategies to manage the more structured aspects of professional life. Your path to career satisfaction lies in finding a balance between your need for excitement and the demands of the working world."

Totally agree with 45247, Pres. Trump has to be an ENTJ. The natural born CEO, runs companies with their eyes closed. My ex was an ESFP and the only likeness is their enjoyment of people and storytelling. F's make horrible business decisions using their feelings, not logic, and the P part means they hardly make decisions at all. I can't imagine an ESFP running any kind of company, though they are smart. ESFP's are like a goose, every day is a new day, no long term planning at all.
We don't normally change from the MBTI we've always been. However, over time we learn each opposite letter, and we can "look like" a different type by using an opposite letter. As an INTJ, when I'm playing, having fun, I look like an INTP, when I'm having a heart to heart with someone, I look like an INFJ, when I'm leading a meeting, I look like an ENFJ, when doing financials I look like an ISTJ. I can easily "flip" one letter as needed, but only temporarily. In my earlier life, flipping a letter was impossible for me to do.
For those not familiar with MBTI, it could be helpful to learn. It helped me understand people so much better. Some states and organizations teach their employees how to use this in their business, so you can walk into an organization and know who will be best at HR, or getting reports, or digging into research. It helps to know the P is always going to be late, and won't have that report on time, but they'll have 30 excuses to explain their behavior. And the J will want to make a decision right now, possibly without doing enough research.
1st letter: E=extrovert, I=introvert - where you get your energy, from people or being alone with or 1 or 2 close friends. 2nd letter: N=intuitive, S=sensory - N's put stuff together that may not be obvious, like most of our autists, S relies on senses of touch, vision, hearing, smell, working with hands. 3rd letter: T=thinking, F=feeling - how you make decisions 4th letter: J=judging, P=perceiving - whether you make decisions, and how organized you are. J's have a place for everything, are organized and are uncomfortable until a decision is made, P's have piles of random stuff and hate making decisions. P does not stand for procrastinator, but is how I think of it.
Each letter has benefits and drawbacks. Everyone has a bit of each letter, in different percentages. There are 16 basic types, but people of the same type are different. Think about it like this. We all have the ability to do all the letters above, but each person has their own unique percentage of the letters. One INTJ might have use of 20% E but 70% I, while another might have 2% E and 90% I. But while using that small bit of E they have, they will appear to the world as an extrovert. Any two people with the same letters are going to interact with the world differently based on the percentage command they have of each of the 8 letters. If we age well, we get more ability to use the letters where our percentages started out low.
Even communities, cities and countries have their "letters", an atmosphere of the area, which could be why people feel more at home in some places than others.
