Trump is technically Silent Generation (edit: Nope, im wrong, he's a boomer), but I feel like he's very much a "Gen-X" president in how he sort of encapsulates that generations id. He rose to prominence in public consciousness during Gen-X's formative years. His TV career likewise took off as Gen-X grew as a share of the adult TV viewing audience, with his shows doing well in that demographic. And finally, during the 2016 and 2020 election his support was extremely strong with them in 2016 and 2020[1], tracking closer 65+ voters than Millennials or Zoomers. Romney did not enjoy the same support from Xers in 2012[2]. Long story short, Trump has tapped into Gen-X in a way even Gen-X politicians have been unable to.
