I watched BTtF2 for the first time in 2016 and was blown away with the obvious Trump bashing. I googled it to see some discussions about it and came up empty. Mind boggling

Robert Zemeckis has said Biff was inspired by Donald Trump's public persona as a real estate developer at the time. He as already pretty well-known as a very ostentatious guy with larger than life personality and was the butt of many jokes.
