I'm lowkey awed that an organization claiming the name still exists.

He was literally modeled after Trump.
That makes a lot of sense, I didn't realize our big wet boy was already so prominent in the late 80s
People have been shitting on Trump for as long as he's been around. Ocean's 13 had their villain modeled after Trump, too. Everyone in NYC has known he's an asshole who pays for nothing, always conducting a grift, and hangs out with people like Epstein. He's had multiple presidential campaigns before 2016.
The rest of the world didn't pay attention to him until he won the republican primary. But he's been a known scumbag for a long time among Hollywood and New York elites.
I've never watched The Apprentice, but I hate it for bringing this asshole back into the public consciousness. Nobody really cared about him in the 2000s until that show presented him as some business genius.
He's been a prominent piece of shit my entire life and I'm (optimistically) middle aged.
Here's The Coup shitting on him in the early 90's.

One of my favorites from that LP
Same!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Gremlins 2 is a satire where the Gremlins take over “Clamp” Tower. Its a little bit Ted Turner too, but Trump is the main target.
I haven't seen that one! Will have to add it to the list
Gremlins 2 is amazing cause it was made out of pure spite and it shows
That's how I knew about Trump as a kid, I didn't know who he was other than some rich guy who Daniel Clamp was a parody of.
He was in Home Alone 2!
