From the TV show "Trackdown" starring Robert Culp.
A con-man named Trump tells people the world is going to end and only he can protect them.

Walter Trump: I am the only one. Trust me! I can build a wall around your homes that nothing can penetrate.

How am I just hearing about this now?

It went viral enough some years back that Snopes did an article about it in early 2017: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trackdown-trump-character-wall/
