Snopes rates it as "true". The character's name was Walter Trump.
1958 TV Show Had Conman ‘Trump’ Selling Mystical ‘Wall’ To Hysterical Townspeople - TPM – Talking Points Memo Did a 1950s TV Episode Feature a Character Named Trump Who Offered to Build a Protective Wall? | Snopes.com
Moose Added by edit - a followup article: A Trump 1950s TV Episode Truth Movement? - TPM – Talking Points Memo It seems the probability that the origin of the Walter Trump name is connected to Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump.

Is there Social Security? Does Medicare exist? Are there public highways? Are there Municipal Fire and Police Departments? Are there street lights? Is there an Interstate Highway system? Do US Highways exist? Are there Public Water Systems? Sorry Charlie but all of those are Socialist Programs. You forgot the biggie - The military "defense" infrastructure. Seemingly, anything the government spends money on is socialism. Moose Edited by Minnemooseus, : Add subtitle.

...one question I've seen discussed among pundits is whether the House should focus narrowly on just the whistleblower chargers, i.e., have just a single article, or whether it should should include articles on obstruction of justice, campaign violations, emoluments, politicization of executive branch departments, and an absence of the candor expected of someone in high office. I say "do it all". And take as much time as you want, even up to election day 2020. Get maximum exposure to the wallowing in slime that is Trump and the Republican party. The bottom line is that I have a lot of faith in the wisdom of Nancy Pelosi, to do it right as possible. Moose

Determining the validity of breathalyzers is incredibly simple. Because you can measure the results by having a controlled group ingesting different amounts of alcohol, some with no alcohol, and seeing the results based on the amounts consumed along with their respective alcohol content. "So, after work, whatcha say we go out and calibrate a breathalyzer?" Moose

quote: The audio available here I was disappointed in how weakly (at best) the HARDtalk host refuted some of the usual BS Trump talking points. Mainly, Ruddy's assertion that VP Bidden was wrong for calling for the removal of a Ukrainian prosecutor that was investigating corruption, when indeed there was very widespread call for the removal because of the prosecutor's lack of investigating corruption. Not a peep out of the HARDtalk host refuting that. Moose

That wasn’t the regular Hardtalk host Hardtalk usually seems to give a pretty thorough grilling to the political guests, regardless of where the guest falls on the political spectrum. I had been wanting to hear a Trumpista get challenged, but this one was a dud. Bad time to put in the 2nd string host. This wasn't a real Hardtalk. Moose Edited by Minnemooseus, : Fairly substantial revision.

Might this whole situation be looked upon as not merely being the impeachment of Trump, but rather the impeachment of the bulk of the Republicans in Congress?
Not only is Trump wholly unsuitable to be President, the Republicans of Congress are wholly in support and defense of him.

The articles of impeachment have been passed in the House BUT is being held off from being passed on to the Senate.
I yield to my perceived faith in the wisdom of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Hold off on passing the impeachment to the Senate and let things stew, about how the Republicans of the Senate are going to handle the trial. Right now, the Republican image is that they are fully in defense of Trump and willing to whitewash anything and everything Trump does. Let that image stew, and see what happens. The other option: Let it look like the Democrats are unwilling to challenge Trumps misdeeds - Not at all good for the Democrats image.

This is what triggered me to start the "Pence would be a worse President than Trump???" topic (which I haven't yet looked at today).
Pence may be a theocrat, but would he trigger such a stupid action? I doubt it, but I may be wrong. This may be better discussed at the above linked. Moose

Iraq and the entire region were arguably better off under Saddam Hussein. Of forum historic interest? - Almost 13 years ago (24-Feb-2007) I created the topic "Iraq needed Saddam?" Moose Edited by Minnemooseus, : Forgot to put Percy quote in.
