I'd bet that Clinton & Trump have actually spent effort on "What should my name be in Chinese?" before; feels unlikely for most candidates.
seriously doubt that trump's campaign is this organized
There are general rules for phonetically translating names. They usually pick ones already used in Chinese newspapers
I take that back. https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E5%B8%8C%E6%8B%89%E9%87%8C%C2%B7%E5%85%8B%E6%9E%97%E9%A1%BF … Wikipedia uses the commonly used name for Hillary, but name on ballot does not match
this has been a local political issue, actually, with a politician suing to get his preferred name/transliteration onto the ballot.
