$10 says this is just Trump wanting to refinance some of his enormous debts at lower rates and thinking this is an easy way to make that happen.
I’m going to guess the battery. It’s also the easiest place to start investigating. Everything else can still come on even if it doesn’t have enough power to start the car.
How long are you leaving your jumper cables attached before trying to start it? Jumping can take at least a few minutes to build up enough charge.
How old is the battery? There’s usually a month/year of manufacture sticker on it. If it’s 5+ years old, there’s a good chance it’s due for replacement.
Is the negative post connection tight? There isn’t any good reason the cable should be slipping off the post. Loose connection could also cause the car not to start.
