Trump's 'Jump Scare' 'Sex And The City' Cameo Resurfaces As Series Debuts On Netflix

Donald Trump's cameo on "Sex and the City" has resurfaced on social media after the series arrived on Netflix this week.

In the hit HBO series' second season, which originally aired in 1999, Trump made a brief appearance in the background of a scene in episode 8, titled "The Man, the Myth, the Viagra."

In the scene, a younger and slimmer Trump can be seen having a business meeting with a septuagenarian friend (played by Bill McHugh), who tries to seduce Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall).

"Samantha, a cosmopolitan, and Donald Trump. You just don't get more New York than that," Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw narrated in a clip of the scene.

After exchanging a look with Samantha, Trump and his pal got up and shook hands, with the real estate mogul even name-dropping Trump Tower.

"Think about it. I'll be at my office at Trump Tower," said Trump, who wore a black suit and red tie.

Trump was also mentioned in the pilot episode of "Sex and the City" in which Samantha referred to Carrie's love interest Mr. Big (Chris Noth) as the "next Donald Trump" as a compliment.

Trump's cameo on "Sex and the City" triggered mixed reactions on X, formerly Twitter, with some calling it a "jump scare."

"Was watching ['Sex and the City'] and Donald Trump just randomly showed up," one user wrote. "Y'all were right, maybe [Gen Z] isn't ready for this."

"Watching ['Sex and the City'] and Donald Trump just popped outta [nowhere]," another commented.

"Omg why did no one warn me about the Trump jump scare in ['Sex and the City']," a third user earlier wrote.

Some social media users noted that Trump's mention and cameo in the hit series showed how he had already managed to build a "positive national brand" by that time.

"I was watching the pilot for 'Sex & the City' today and Trump was name-checked. This was 1998, [and] he already had a massive positive national brand. I think this element of his political success -- i.e., celebrity -- has been wildly underrated by political strategists," one X user suggested.

In 2017, a year after Trump was elected president, Cattrall discussed his "Sex and the City" appearance during an interview on "Piers Morgan's Life Stories."

The actress claimed that Trump "did his own makeup" for the show and wouldn't let "anyone touch his hair," the Evening Standard quoted her as saying.

"He didn't want anyone to touch his hair. He did his own makeup, which was decidedly orange, it's true. It hasn't been enhanced, that's Donald," Cattrall said.

She also shut down the suggestion that Trump tried to make a move on her during their time working together.

"I think I'm too smart for him," Cattrall told Morgan.

Her former co-star, Parker, on the other hand, apparently forgot that Trump had made a cameo on their hit show when she was asked about it in a 2016 interview, according to the Evening Standard.

Asked by "Good Morning Britain's" Susanna Reid about the former president's appearance, Parker responded: "Was he really?"

At the time, Parker declared that she would be voting for Trump's competitor in the presidential race, Hillary Clinton.

Meanwhile, this was far from the first cameo Trump has made in a TV series or movie.

The current GOP presidential candidate appeared in a scene in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," in which he tells Macaulay Culkin's character how to get to the lobby of New York's Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time.

Trump also made cameos in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "The Little Rascals," and "The Nanny," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

His wife, Melania Trump, also joined him for a cameo appearance in the 2001 comedy film "Zoolander."

All six seasons of "Sex and the City" are now available to stream on Netflix.
