Trump Tower went up in 1979. It was controversial because Trump had promised to preserve the original building’s façade and then demolished it. He also employed illegal immigrant workers and treated them so badly that they won a massive judgement against him.
A couple of years later, DC comics decides to do a reboot of Superman.
Before then, Lex Luthor had always been presented as a hard core criminal. He usually wore prison greys and used abandoned buildings for his hideouts. He hated Superman because Supes had caused one of his experiments to go awry and left him bald.
In the new comic, Lex was a billionaire before Superman appeared. He had a beautiful head of hair, and slowly went bald as plan after plan to kill Supes failed. He only hated Superman because Kal-El made him feel bad about himself.
Not super, just villains.
