Content
The commercial begins with the recently divorced Donald and Ivana Trump conversing in a bedroom. They then share a Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza. Ivana asks for the last slice, but Donald tells her that she is "only entitled to half", alluding to their highly publicized divorce.[5]
Production
Filming took place on a set resembling the interior of the Plaza Hotel. Although Ivana objected to filming the last part of the commercial, Donald insisted on it.[2]
Further developments
Trump was also featured in a Pizza Hut commercial from 2000.[6]
Following Donald Trump's inauguration as president of the United States, a signed copy of the advertisement's storyboard was sold for $15,000 dollars.[5]
