You might think Donald named his son after this book, but he named his sons after Conrad Hilton’s sons (Junior, Eric and Barron). Why he did this is anybody’s guess.
Both families are unbelievably wealthy and totally obsessed with hedonism. Donald's hedonism extends to a desire to counterbalance his material wealth with love from a broad segment of the populace, as much like royalty as he can possibly aspire to. The Hilton family has also fallen down this rabbit hole of hedonism mixed with the glee of public spotlight, adoration, and fame.
I don’t think it’s so thought out. Trump is fundamentally a philistine who has never had an original thought in his life, and he assumes anything in his brain belongs to him. He’s a 78 year old infant.
