What It's Like to Have the Same Name as a President?

What would daily life be like if your name was Donald Trump? There's a man in the White House who can answer that question, but there's also a guy in Alabama with the same name.

The Associated Press talked to men who are named Donald Trump, William J. Clinton, Abraham Lincoln, and Grover Cleveland. Sometimes these men get freebies at hotels and restaurants. Sometimes they get mail from federal inmates asking for pardons.

The experience can have a real impact on daily interactions. Abraham Lincoln notes that he has to make good first impressions because his name is so memorable. People don't forget meeting him for the first time.
