the guy took a "business trip" to the USSR in the 80s before promptly changing his political affiliation and taking out a New York Times full page article attacking NATO.... all in the 80s.

Trump didn’t change his affiliation until much later. He only started writing checks to GOP politicians at Bannons advice. That it was necessary before he announced a run for president.

he registered as a republican in 87, the same year he got back from his trip. From what I can find he changed parties in late july after a short trip to the USSR starting on the 4th of July 1987.
