      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.

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