I had forgotten about this. When DC Comics released Lex Luthor’s “Unauthorized Biography” in 1989, they based the cover on Trump’s “Art of the Deal”.
By then, Luthor had been redesigned by John Byrne as a despicable criminal billionaire.

@Purple74 It was Marv Wolfman's idea, Byrne was just the lead Superman writer when it was implemented.

When you compare early Post-Crisis Superman comics written by Byrne to those written by Wolfman, Wolfman is clearly putting more thought into the characterization.
