The reason Trump is being used, besides being a major fnord-type distraction for the masses, is because he is a con-artist. He's a piece of shit, really. I cannot think of a more corrupt caricature of bloated American evil. That's why the trap works. The idea of being a crackhead is that you play an autobiographical character at all times. The president of the galaxy in Hitchhiker's Guide had two heads; he was two-faced. He can lie well and distract the masses while being a listening post to people who would proposition corrupt, American oligarchs.
