Prophetic episode of Seinfeld -- or just coincidence?

I was unwinding this evening watching a rerun of one of my favorite sit-coms ever -- Seinfeld -- when I noticed a detail I hadn't seen before.

In Season 3, the episode called "The Limo", George's car breaks down at the airport as he's picking Jerry up. They spot a limo driver holding up a name card for "O'Brien" and decide to lie and say that George is O'Brien, in order to get a free ride into the city. Turns out the real O'Brien is actually a white power neo-Nazi author appearing at a white power rally, with an angry mob of protesters waiting for him in the city.

The thing I hadn't noticed before was that in the beginning of the episode, the airport stock footage showed a bunch of tRump Airline jets parked in the terminal.

Interesting coincidence that tRump turns out to be the white power neo-Nazi stirring up trouble, some 30 years later!
