Behind the scenes

In non-valid sources

In AUDIO: Revolting Farmers ^[+]Loading...["Revolting Farmers (audio story)"], an episode of Dead Ringers, the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday met Donald Trump on Earth in the year 348309. Earth's sun has become a red giant, and "all trace of humanity" has been wiped out, leading Ruby to wonder why Trump is still around.

He explains that the cockroachs decided to wake him up from cryogenic suspension, in order to make him their ruler. It's "just [him] left" now. In this timeline, Trump's seventh term as US president ended in nuclear war.

He named one cockroach Vladimir and another Elon, as he claims they remind him of the "old days". Trump also talks about "Don Jr." and "Eric" having been like "the Daleks [he] never had". He calls Ruby a "bigly nasty woman" for asking him to leave the Earth in peace, but also notes that she's a "pretty lady" while turning her over to the cockroaches, to be converted into the 3,000,012th "fake Melania", referring to a running joke from earlier sketches. Trump is played by Lewis MacLeod.

Trump in the DWU

In DWM 503, Steven Moffat, the showrunner of Doctor Who from series 5 to 10, answered the question, "What does the Doctor make of Donald Trump'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 Trump won the election and the world was plunged into "certain doom".

In the real world, Trump did in fact win the election, and his first term as president spanned from 20 January 2017 to 20 January 2021. However, an unnamed president in a simulation created by the Monks in the 2017 episode Extremis ^[+]Loading...["Extremis (TV story)"] was a dark haired individual who did not have much physical resemblance to Trump. According to Moffat, the writer of the episode, Extremis was written before but filmed after the 2016 election.

In The Pyramid at the End of the World ^[+]Loading...["The Pyramid at the End of the World (TV story)"], Bill Potts says she would have never have voted for the current president, as he's "orange". While Trump was left unnamed, it was clearly referencing Trump and his spray-tans. In early drafts of that story, the President was going to appear and be a direct pastiche of Trump.

President Karde (COMIC: Hill of Beans ^[+]Loading...["Hill of Beans (comic story)"])

The 2017 episode The Lie of the Land ^[+]Loading...["The Lie of the Land (TV story)"] features an image of Trump clearly visible on one of the screens inside the room that houses their propaganda machine along with several other prominent contemporary and historical figures. The photograph of Trump used in the episode is taken from a promotional photo for BBC Two's Donald Trump: All American Billionaire, a 2010 interview conducted by Emily Maitlis. Trump is later stated to have become president in the DWU by 2018, when the episode Arachnids in the UK ^[+]Loading...["Arachnids in the UK (TV story)"] is set.

President Karde in 2018 comic story Hill of Beans ^[+]Loading...["Hill of Beans (comic story)"] physically resembles Donald Trump. The name Karde may be a reference to concept of a "trump card".

In the 2019 audio story Sargasso ^[+]Loading...["Sargasso (audio story)"], the American character Kaitlin Russell refers to the possibility of "some asshole with bad hair" blowing the world to hell, along with other approaching catastrophes. This is taken to refer to Trump, who's noted for his distinct hairstyle, as well as in theory having the ability to "destroy the world" by nuclear war through his position as president.
