Trump reported residuals worth less than $201 each for appearances on TV shows and in films including Zoolander, The Nanny, Sex and the City, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and The Little Rascals, according to the filings.

Trump continues to receive SAG-AFTRA payments despite not being a member for five years.
