In 2015, Donald Trump is the presidential candidate most likely to be championed by your racist relatives on Facebook. But in the 1990s and early 2000s, he was a sitcom staple. He played the guy with a lot of money on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And the guy visiting a hotel for people with a lot of money in Home Alone 2. And the guy the audience assumes has a lot of money in Sex and the City. Obviously, he has a wide range.
So, for just a moment, let's not worry about the potential political ramifications of Trump's presidential bid. Let's instead enjoy the fact that future kids could be reading this in their history books: "In 2015, businessman Donald Trump sought the Republican presidential nomination. Though he lacked political experience, he had been on an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch."
