Yes. It barely makes sense, just a shoehorn for a Take That!

Note that the first post in that thread says:

"Donald Trump, as with any other current political figure, should not be a subject of any trope example on the wiki, except:

  • When the work in question specifically mentions the RL individual.
  • When the entirety of the example has to do with the portrayal of that individual in the work.
  • When the work is fictional.
All three of these must apply. Alternatively:
  • When the RL individual has a creative role themselves, such as writing or acting in a work. In this sense we give them no more nor less treatment then we would any other creator.
Additionally, please make sure to take out any examples of "Funny Aneurysm" Moment, Harsher in Hindsight, or Hilarious in Hindsight regarding these political figures." (emphasis added)

I removed it with the edit reason of it being a violation of Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement and it's a shoehorned Take That! entry.

Uh, yeah, that's a blatant Take That! against Trump, and outside the rules. I don't even know how whoever wrote that would make this connection.

At least, not in my mind.
