Trump was one of several influences John Byrne used for his Luthor, though little to nothing of that version remains.

G. Gordon was smart - Luthor had to take a hit. Season 2 Luthor might've done so voluntarily, but I think he's on a power high now.

I do wonder if this is going to let to the downfall of Lex Luthor. His ego trip being the head of the UN and being beat by The Outsiders could lead to him making more and more stands against the Outsiders and becoming a weak link for the remaining members of The Light.
