If I remember correctly they based that version of biff on trump. Kinda scary how close they got

Yes, Bob Gale confirmed that he based the character on Trump. The over-the-top aesthetic of Biff's Pleasure Paradise Casino & Hotel in the alternate 1985 was specifically inspired by Trump's signature style of the 1980s. The gold-heavy decoration, the massive portraits of himself, and even the architectural style were meant to parody Trump.

I find it thoroughly amusing that Trump must be aware of this and hasn’t changed character.

Yea, and musk said he likes cyberpunk… and conservatives play rage against the machine…

Gale also wrote a BttF comic book in 2017 where Biff runs for president.

That’s because Trump has been consistent and never changed as a person to those paying attention.
