Did De Niro base his portrayal of Capone off of Trump?

I definetly got the vibe while watching this. I mean the way Capone bloviates about how great he is and puts on this front like he is this great leader when he is anything but - this really, really reminded me of Trump. Not only that - but the body language, the hand gestures he does while he speaks, and his overall demeanor really reminded me a ton of Trump.

Did De Niro model his performance of Capone off of Trump? Or did Trump model his vibe and demeanor off of De Niro's portrayal of Trump?

No but he based his life on being a whiny little bitch that has to wear platform shoes to act.
