He is one of the top Hearthstone competitors in North America. He formerly played Starcraft II for gaming groups Team Legion and Vega Squadron.
Shih graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in management and finance in 2009. Around that time he began working at a bank and streaming himself playing Starcraft II in his free time, averaging a few thousand concurrent viewers a stream. Shih's main intention behind his nickname Trump was to use the of the word trump meaning to excel, yet he was influenced by watching Donald Trump on the reality television show The Apprentice. Eventually Trump decided to quit his job and began streaming full-time, making a living from Twitch's partnership program by earning revenue from advertisements and subscriptions. He later began playing and streaming Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft starting in the game's beta phase. Trump has been described as "the world's most famous Hearthstone player", attracting over 20,000 concurrent viewers on his stream. Shih streams for seven hours per day. On October 13, 2013 he was signed by Team Razer as the world's first professional Hearthstone player.
