for some reason Donald Trump doesn’t go in the category of “people named Donald” in my head. like Tom Cruise, he’s not a Tom, or a Thomas, he’s always Tom Cruise.
when I hear somebody else’s first name is donald, it doesn’t make me think of him
Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.

Yeah, but it makes me think about Donald Duck

yeah but that happened like once
Osama and Mao, but yes it’s increasingly rare. I think we tend to associate historic people with their last names more than their first names.
Mao was his surname.
I keep forgetting that Asia mostly have the family name first. But Osama still stands.
yeah, for most of the western world that was the first time we’d heard that name.
