Three years ago. The Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition was in power in the United Kingdom and Barack Obama was early on in his second term.
Donald Trump's only contribution to politics at this point was questioning Barack Obama's birth certificate.

He also signalled a foray into politics. Foreshadowing his inauguration, he also hinted that he approved of some plans suggested to him via Twitter.

... Isn't quite his target market.
It's also quite a long soundbite for a talking doll.
