I really don't understand all the mysticism type stuff people are trying to pull out of this.

This Quantum Leap episode was from 1992, when Donald Trump was already a household name. It's obviously supposed to be Donald Trump in the show. That's a core part of the entire series, having people famous in the 80s or 90s showing up as kids or showing their ancestors in the show.

The episode was made after Trump Tower was already built and everyone already knew his love of Tiffany's. He named his third daughter after them.

So I don't understand what's so head twisting about having actors playing his parents that resembled his real life parents. That's just basic common sense in casting.

I honestly don't understand all the fascination over this.
