It's funny as a non-US how many (older) films etc. he's mentioned in (or even cameos in), having never heard of him until (not long before) his first term.
e.g. I watched American Psycho last night, in which there's some 'is that the Trumps', 'why would Ivanka Trump be here'.
I dont remember how much it carried over to the film but in the book, Trump is the person the titular psycho...

I can top that. As a child I was a fan of a relatively unknown sitcom titled “Out Of This World” and I rediscovered it a couple years ago. It was truly surreal to hear Donald Trump mentioned in a show from 1987–1991. (American Psycho is from 2000.)
