I’m sure there is a kernel- but only a kernel- of truth in this. That kernel is that Biff was a casino magnate in the second movie. And back in the late 80s any character who was a millionaire casino magnate was going to be based at least a little on Trump.

Biff Tannen was the guy that would beat the shit out of Bob Gayle on a regular basis. The fag writer was out to even the score when he wrote the script. The movie was just a rerun of Bobby's life with the trick car added for effect.

I guess that the Marty McFly character was based on Bobby Jindal. He actually looked liked President George H. W. Bush.

McFly (M. Fox) is a shrimp. George the Elder was a tall man, taller than 6’1” Reagan.

Was it his father, then?
Must be. Marty's father is named "George".

Biff Tannen was a terrible character in the movie. He based that on Trump? Horse stuff.
To my knowledge Trump has never abused his wives, been a crook, or acted as the Tannen character did in the movie.
What a terrible curse it must be to have been born with a brain that thinks up idiotic stuff like this.

I once saw an interview with the guy who actually played the Biff Tanen part, and he said he based his performance and interpretation of the character on a bully he had to contend with in HIGH SCHOOL, which I’m sure reminded most of us of the same.
Insorfar as this bogus story, I’ll quote Biff: “Manure! I hate manure!”

A retroactively convenient memory.That is typical dimocrat BS. Rewriting history isn't enough now they are rewriting their memories.

“Biff Tannen reminds me of Joe Biden.”
Are you really sure you didn’t mean to type ‘Hillarious Klintoon?’

Biff Tannen's character was originally created in the 1980 draft of the script, years before Trump owned a casino or was even nationally well known. This claim by Gale is probably bogus, but is it for this reason? Originally the film was not made with a sequel in mind, so would the script in 1980 have included the "alternate timeline" Biff from the second movie having the big casino released in 1989?

Bullshit.
