Some were skeptical that Mad had really lampooned Donald Trump as far back as the 1990s, but it's not really all that surprising. Although Trump wasn't elected president until 2016, he had already been a public figure for most of his life. In fact, shortly after he became president,Mad released a book of previously published comics chronicling his rise from obnoxious businessman to really obnoxious reality show host to uber obnoxious 'Commander-in-Tweet.' Cartoonist Garry Trudeau put out a similar book chronicling 30 years of Trump's appearances in his Doonesbury comic strip as well. Sam Viviano and Mike Snider created the 1992 Trump cartoon for Mad, which was published on page 26 of issue 315. The Trump cartoon only made up a small portion of the When Should We Believe...? page, which featured various politicians, musicians, reporters, and other public figures giving contradictory statements. Here is how the comic was introduced in 1992: The Trump cartoon appeared in the bottom-left corner of the full version of the comic:
