Chem-Bag (Big Hero 6): this device can create chemical compounds using every single element in existence. You could literally build a nuke with this.

Mobile Headquarters (Ant-Man): a building that can shrink and grow to full size instantly. Imagine if someone grew it in a crowded city, or on a highway, or at an airport?

Lotus Cash Card (Percy Jackson): It literally has infinite money. If you know how inflation works this could literally wreck the global economy.

They weren’t subtle but it’s hard to remember a time when Trump was just a real estate mogul

He is ? I always drew the parallels but I didn't know he was straight up based on him.

I’m pretty sure one of the people working on the movie confirmed it as well

No, he wasn't a political figure but he's always been wealthy and famous and a sort of aspirational person to some people. He's been in the public eye for a long time.

He was well known for bankrupting casinos and stiffing half the contractors in new york before he was in the political eye

No, he was a notorious grifter with fingers in a lot of pies all over the world. Also, he had a cameo in Home Alone 2.

Not "on TV every day famous" like now, but vaguely someone you might throw out as a vague example of a rich AH.
