Correct, it should be removed as it's attacking the person and stretching the facts.

It also seems really laser-targeted to one incident when it should be more a general entry of "his controversial term as an acting President of the United States has far overshadowed his work as either a businessman or reality TV host in the public eye"

^I'd say the 'laser-targeting' is probably the fault of our old nemesis episodic troping - somebody created the entry for that one incident and people kept adding onto it instead of just doing a rewrite.

So, remove the entire entry, or re-write it so it focuses more on the works over the creator?

Here's whats written on the actual YMMV for the show.

Overshadowed by Controversy: The show gets attention nowadays largely due to the fact that Donald Trump was the host of the show.

That's a ZCE.

It's not technically a ZCE. More of a very-little-CE. Still not good enough to keep, however.

Well, the example mentioned in the OP should talk less about Trump's controversies and more about the impact on his works. The example mentioned by Whirl RX is a little too little detailed.
