Corporate Trump I'm afraid. His taste appears to be extreme 'new money'.
I guess you had to be there but in '80's New York there were a group of new money families who were venerated to the nth degree.
Reagan came into office and the country was inundated with the myth of getting what you earned no matter who you were or how you started.
And, likewise, being to blame for any lack of opportunity or misfortune you might suffer.
None of these families lasted very long as others have in the past. Note Trump's multiple bankruptcies. Of course, Trump got nowhere on his own merits.
He grew up in an upper-middle class neighborhood in Queens. You can hear his Queens accent, but any notion of class clearly went over his head.
