'This was locker-room banter...' Trump said in a statement.
McDonald's was one of the first to feature him, in a spot in which he looked a bit uncomfortable, and Verizon Wireless nabbed him for a commercial that mimicked his role on "The Apprentice."
Trump leans over the edge of the tower to watch his card plummet to earth and lets out a funny "uh-oh." As a voiceover explains that Visa check-card holders aren't responsible for unauthorized purchases -- a fact we're supposed to believe Trump has no knowledge of -- the television star and real estate mogul makes his way to the street, where we next see him bent over the bin frantically searching for the card -- an amusing image indeed, given the Trump persona we now know so well.
