I think this is the first strip to refer to Trump by name. Can anyone confirm that? Captain Video (talk) 05:32, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Negatory. 2137: Text Entry is one I remember. 172.69.63.173 06:00, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- The earliest I'm aware of is 980: Money from 2011 (so before he'd held elective office). It's almost unfindable in the giant image. Trump is mentioned in the lower right corner of the "Billionaires" box, inside the very large "Billions" section. 108.162.237.64 06:12, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- And, of course, 2383: Electoral Precedent 2020.

- I was sufficiently interested in this question to actually look it up with the search function. Turns out the transcripts are actually useful for something!
- 980: Money is the only one from before Trump was elected President
- 1836: Okeanos (mentioned as "Trump" only) is the first after the election - May 12, 2017, nearly six months after it
- 1939: 2016 Election Map ("Trump" only)
- 2126: Google Trends Maps
- 2137: Text Entry
- 2220: Imagine Going Back in Time ("Trump" only)
- 2383: Electoral Precedent 2020 ("Trump" only)
- 2399: 2020 Election Map ("Trump" only)
