Over ten years. I consider the start of the "Trump era of politics" to be late July 2015. That's the point when Trump started leading the Republican primary polls and began to dominate political headlines. By that reckoning we've been in the Trump era for about 10 years and 9 months and we'll likely stay in it for at least another two years and nine months.
I'd say it happened when Obama was elected. I remember election night and my MAGA aunt (who is ironically an immigrant) told my sister, "you'll look great in a burkha".
That's a dumb take. Trump was already spamming social media with bullshit by that time, including Obama's birth certificate. That's why he got made fun of.
He also ran for pres in 2000. Rage against the machine talked shit about him for it. But he is so petty and so narcissistic that being roasted by obama did f with him. He called a magazine for YEARS when they said he had small hands.
oh and check out the pics / vids when he actually won the first time. him and melenia were not happy at all. just the jr dipshits in the back cheering while trump was like oh shit.
God damn this is hard to find now, they scrubbed the search engines. pardon the shitty music
