|introduction              = '''Donald Trump (Black Version)''' is the seventh track (fifth song) on [[The Time]]’s fourth and final album [[Album: Pandemonium|Pandemonium]]. '''Donald Trump (Black Version)''' was written and produced by [[Prince]], but was credited to [[The Time]]. [[Prince]] plays most instruments on the track.

While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking likely took place in Summer 1989, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. [[Candy Dulfer]] recorded saxophone overdubs at [[Paisley Park]] in late July 1989 (during the same set of sessions where saxophone overdubs were recorded for [[Love Machine]], [[My Summertime Thang]], [[Release It]], [[Murph Drag]], [[The Latest Fashion]], [[Data Bank]], [[My Baby Knows]] and [[A Man Called Jesus]]). It was included as the third track on the planned 1989 album [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]]. [[The Time]] made slight changes to the mix in late 1989 for inclusion on [[Album: Pandemonium|Pandemonium]].

The song is named after American business magnate, socialite, author and television personality [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump Donald Trump]. The parenthetical part of the title does not indicate that more than one "version" of the song exists; it refers to the singer being the "black version" of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump Donald Trump].
