President Donald Trump is a controversial figure. Even before his election, he had been a magnet for criticism because of his controversial statements, volatile personality and failed business ventures. Upon becoming president, the controversies around him were projected into the world theater, which meant countries that previously had little reason to care what Trump said now had to listen to him.

One of those countries is Japan, whose anime industry has often responded to American media and politics, such as when then-President Barack Obama appeared in DigimonMr. Osomatsu and Yo-Kai Watch. However, while those appearances were mostly favorable to neutral about Obama, Trump's depictions in anime have reflected his divisive public image.

Golgo 13

Anime has been parodying Trump long before he became president. Golgo 13 did not feature Trump as we know him, but rather the womanizing, cheating businessman Ronald Crump. He might not be Trump as president, but rather seems to be a direct reference to his reputation as a businessman.

Crump cheated a rival businessman out of money, using the fortune gained as a result to erect a business empire for himself. The rival businessman hires Golgo to assassinate Crump at a theater, the only love of his life. It is ironic that many people state the real Trump spends an obsessive amount of time watching television. Perhaps Golgo 13 was onto something.

Inuyashiki

Inuyashiki is an apocalyptic anime in which teenager Inuyashiki Ichiro gains incredible power and has to stop another teen with the same powers, Shishigami, from becoming the world's greatest criminal. Toward the end of the series, a massive meteor comes threatens all life on Earth.

Inuyashiki depicts reactions from various political figures, including Trump. The anime does not take a favorable perspective on the president, showing him thinking only of himself by saying, on national television, that he's lived long enough and the rest of "you losers can do whatever the hell you want." The rest of the established characters look on in horror as Trump dismisses the lives of the rest of the planet.

Devilman Crybaby

Another anime showing how the president would react to disasters, Devilman Crybaby's brief cameo from Trump presents him struggling to hide from reporters during the raging wrath of Koda's Devilman, sent throughout the world thanks to the intricate plans of Satan himself -- Ryo.

Trump is a bit player in the series with no impact on the story. However, when compared to some of the incredibly evil characters in Devilman Crybaby, Trump is presented more neutrally in this series. After all, while his inaction doesn't help anything, it also doesn't speed the world to its doom.

Death Note

Trump does not appear in the original Death Note series, but he made a surprising significant appearance in the one-shot sequel manga, Never Complete. He is one of the many world leaders who bids on the Death Note when Minoru Tanaka starts auctioning off the book. While never referred to by any name other than "the United States President," this is undeniably Trump.

However, while Trump gains power over the Death Note, he's never able to actually use it do to it potentially killing him, based on new rules added to the book once he buys it. As such, he just pretends he owns the book to preserve the appearance of power. This is undeniably the most shrewd depiction of Trump in any anime, but also the most overtly corrupt.

Baki the Grappler

Trump does not appear in Baki the Grappler. However, President-Elect Tramp is an obvious parody in the manga. Baki the Grappler often features new presidents of the United States put in humiliating positions after meeting the champion American fighter Yujiro Hanma. Yujiro made George W. Bush -- named Bosh -- his limo driver. President Obama's parody, Ozuma, sort of stood by and let Yujiro do whatever he wanted. However, arguably, no President parody is as biting as Tramp.

Tramp is the new President of the United States, who meets then-President Ozuma, but seems to either ignore everything Ozuma says to him or not understand a word of it. He then starts boasting about everything he's going to do once he becomes President, only to walk straight into Yujiro. Yujiro just looks at him and the President pees his pants.

Dr. Stone

Dr. Stone features a very brief cameo from Donald Trump as President of the United States. As with the rest of the world, Trump transforms into a stone statue, imprisoned in rock with only his thoughts to accompany him. The manga glosses over Trump's existence briefly, without lingering on it for too long. He apparently has little idea what is happening to him.

The series Dr. Stone focuses on how the world is restored from this state of petrification, but Trump's fate post-petrification is very much a minor point in the series. His purpose in the story is to demonstrate the global and sudden impact of petrification, but little else.

Hinomaru Sumo

In the final chapter of Hinomaru Sumo, Trump appears to watch the final battle. He has little idea what's happening in the sumo match, but simply attends to watch the important match. Trump's appearance here serves little plot purpose, but much like in Dr. Stone and Devilman Crybaby, his brief cameo is there to elevate the global conflict of the scene.

Gintama

Donald Zurump may be one of the best parodies Gintama has ever unleashed upon the world. Donald Zurump is the elected Prime Minister of Japan, set to bring the country to ruination given his often erratic perspective and strange faux-mustache.

Of course, Donald Zurump is not really a direct parody of the President, but rather series regular Katsura Kotarou wearing a fake mustache, being elected under the premise of rebuilding the country in a new, productive manner. "Zurump" is targeted by multiple assassins, supposedly dying in an explosion. Of course, the explosion is faked and Katsura is completely safe, but the nation mourns for the lost Donald Zurump.
