* The music video for "King for a Day" by Music/BattleBeast unflatteringly depicts the song's titular "king" in this way, complete with a giant check (like the one in the image at the top of this page) which he then yanks away from its supposed recipient the moment he's no longer on-camera. (And, given that this album was released in February 2017, it's entirely plausible that the character in the video was meant to be [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed a thinly-veiled parody]] of [[{{Trumplica}} someone]] who in the previous year had gotten some [[RippedFromTheHeadlines negative publicity from news outlets]] – for example, in [[https://www.providencejournal.com/story/news/2016/08/19/trump-many-times-publicly-promised-charitable-donations-out-of-my-wallet-but-it-didnt-happen/25611477007/ this news story]] – for publiclt pledging money to charitable causes and then not following through on those pledges.)
