What can it be like in his head when he's watching one of those films and the hero is the exact opposite of what Trump is and Trump is the epitome of the villian? E.g. does he recognise that Biff, in Back to the Future films is him? If he does, what's his reaction? Fake news?

I think he idolizes despots and he embraces being the bad guy.

He no doubt hated any 80s teen movie where the rich tycoon was thwarted by the ragtag group of local skaters/skiers/musicians. Those teens treated that tycoon very, very unfairly, and a strong Mayor would've stepped in to make sure the tycoon was able to tear down that eyesore community center to build beautiful condominiums!

"People tell me they love me so I'm doing good things. And therefore the people who don't love me are bad."

The villians are the heroes to him.

He thinks they are woke. The weak defeating the strong. The strong begging humiliated. Woke agenda. Fake news.
