Trump first came to the public attention for controversial real estate deals in NYC and owning a casino in Atlantic City in the 1980s. He was accused of using undocumented workers, of using borderline illegal practices to force out poor families from homes he wanted to demolish, and of violating gaming laws in New Jersey.
Then he really stepped into the public eye when he purchased a USFL team and sued the NFL. The law suit destroyed the USFL and resulted in the USFL being awarded $3.
Trump clearly enjoyed the public spotlight and started jumping at any chance to get attention. He had a book, a board game, and appearances on talk shows. He made controversial statements and exuded attitude.
For most of the 90's he was somewhat muted. An irrelevant relic really. But professional wrestling and a tv game show let him resurrect his spot in the public eye. He then found that the more he made controversial statements the more attention he got so he just kept saying crazier and crazier things.
