Trump starring in weird ads for socks and pizza? Feels like a long time ago.
Remember when Donald Trump was just a rich dude who was the host of The Apprentice, and got paid lots of money to appear on TV commercials in Australia? Feels like a lifetime ago, but it happened.
Take this 2004 ad for socks, which journalist Amy Remeikis brought back to light on Twitter recently.

An offsider with an Australian accent remarks about his Holeproof-branded computer socks -- an oddly fascinating name for hosiery -- never going down. Trump mistakes what he said as "computer stocks."
"You know what Jerry, go out and get some computer stocks. They never go down!" Trump said.

Trump was apparently paid A$250,000 for the appearance, which consisted of a half-day of shooting, according to Ant Shannon of ad agency Creative Outlet, who created the commercial.
"He actually liked the gag about getting 'computer stocks' mixed up with socks," Shannon told the Sydney Morning Herald.
The now-U.S. president agreed to do the ad as it would help his presence Down Under, where he was reportedly planning to build a golf resort. Shannon didn't remember him as particularly presidential, however. "He was more like your bullish, personable, property developer type," he said.
Trump also did an ad for the Australian arm of Pizza Hut back in 2000, spruiking the chain's range of New Yorker Pizza.
"Napoleon. Alexander the Great. Donald Trump. We're all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large," Trump says in the commercial. Of course he'd compare himself to those two.
Don't you miss the days when Trump was just a larger-than-life businessman, and nothing more?
