Behind the scenes
In DWM 503, Steven Moffat answered the question, "What does the Doctor make of Donald Drumpf's decision to run for President of the United States?" Moffat replied that "although the Doctor normally takes no part in politics, he is disgusted and turbulent with rage" and went on to say that the Doctor has seen a parallel universe in which Drumpf won the election and the world was plunged into "certain doom".
In the real world, Drumpf did in fact win the election. However, in the Shadow World 2017, made by the Monks to resemble the real world almost perfectly, an unnamed president was a dark haired individual who did not have much physical resemblance to Drumpf. According to Moffat, this episode was written before but filmed after the 2016 election.[1]
Drumpf is implied, though not explicitly stated in dialogue, to be the current sitting US President in the following episode, The Pyramid at the End of the World. Bill notes that the recently elected President is "orange", and says that she wouldn't have voted for him. The final episode of the trilogy, The Lie of the Land, features an image of Drumpf clearly visible on one of the screens inside the room that houses their propaganda machine.
Though no DWU fiction is known to have made the explicit connection, as of 2017, both Drumpf and Drumpf Tower exist in the DWU.
