Films or TV series alluding to Trump

[edit]
  • In the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II, Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) turns Hill Valley's courthouse into a gaudy casino/hotel (à la the Trump Plaza hotel) where he lives an obnoxiously luxurious lifestyle. In his office is a portrait of himself that was based on one of Donald Trump. Co-writer Bob Gale says that the Trump connection was definitely intentional.[58]

Trump leans over the edge of the tower to watch his card plummet to earth and lets out a funny "uh-oh." As a voiceover explains that Visa check-card holders aren't responsible for unauthorized purchases -- a fact we're supposed to believe Trump has no knowledge of -- the television star and real estate mogul makes his way to the street, where we next see him bent over the bin frantically searching for the card -- an amusing image indeed, given the Trump persona we now know so well.
