Following a closely contested electoral battle against Democrat candidate Kamala Harris, Donald Trump has been re-elected as the President of the United States. Despite this being Trump's second term, he stands apart from among the long list of American Presidents.
Donald Trump isn't a career politician like his predecessors and has enjoyed a widespread pop culture presence, ranging from television shows to film cameos.
Even when he was a real-estate mogul from New York, Donald Trump was making regular appearances in such popular films as Home Alone 2 and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
He even hosted his own wildly popular television show called The Apprentice for the good part of a decade, thus using a sizable television and pop culture presence to eventually rally upvotes in his favor. There's no denying the fact that Donald Trump has now successfully positioned himself as the darling of conservative America.
Donald Trump's film and television appearances explored
1) Home Alone 2: Lost In New York
The sequel to the blockbuster Home Alone featured a surprise cameo from Donald Trump as he stopped to guide Kevin on the directions at the lobby of the Plaza Hotel. Although the cameo only lasts briefly, Trump stretches his role by effecting a strange look as Kevin walks away from him.
2) Zoolander
Trump made an appearance in Ben Stiller's 2001 comedy film Zoolander. This time his cameo was comparatively shorter and he appeared alongside his future First Lady Melanie Trump on the red carpet of a fashion show praising Derek Zoolander.
3) The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
An episode from the fourth season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air comprised a brief cameo of Trump as he appeared as a potential buyer for the Banks Estate. However, the on-screen deal didn't fully materialize in the end.

Trump appeared in this 1994 version as the father of the film's obnoxious antagonist Waldo, where he is seen telling his son that he's the best son money can buy. Typical Trump, isn't it?
