Trump is absolutely a creature of the eighties. Listening to him, you can easily tell that a lot of his ideas of how the world works comes from eighties media.
Even MAGA is basically just repackaged America FUCK YEAH machismo that Hollywood made mad bank on back in the day.

The man is a walking mold of what people in the 1980's considered American Success. Having "fuck you money" and living like a king while shitting on your enemies. Tell me I'm wrong.
After the radical optimism of the sixties the seventies were disappointing and the eighties were heartbreaking but by then we had kids to feed and, if we were persistent and fortunate, a job we could sometimes believe in. Then, before we knew it, we had grandchildren and everyone thought we were old. Like a blink even though we didnтАЩt give up believing and now, I believe in the new generation. WeтАЩre leaving them a heck of a mess but we lost more battles than we won, and believers didnтАЩt get to be the rich class.

But multiple generations of wealth parasites also made their bank on propping him up on that. The funny thing is that by the late nineties he was considered to be something of a joke, having been exposed for the bullshit artist he was. But that was among people who paid any attention to the world of finance, while the rest of the public still remembered him as the rich guy who had the big affair and a cameo in Home Alone.
Then they propped him up yet again and used him to make bank with The Apprentice, which cemented his reputation in some quarters as the generational dealmaker businessman instead of the business failson he'd been all along.
