Trump's type is relevant to the enneagram in two ways. He destroys two myths.
The first is accusation. I've said for awhile that you can't tell apart cp6 and 8 by accusation. I beat all the mainstream enneagram authors on that one. R & H, Naranjo, Palmer....all wrong. Trump is ten times more accusatory than any politician in the country.
The second is ocean's moonshine. Trump bears out that Ocean's Moonshine is just total misinformation, and also why so many people out there favor Stackemup.
Just an example, here is Ocean's moonshine on SX/SO:
"They may identify so strongly with whatever they’re involved with that they often become the symbol of its core essence, and sometimes its lead agent for change. Hardly content with the status quo, this subvariant seeks to alter the fundamental structure of something while at once embodying it’s purest or most extreme form."
That makes a perfect characterization of Trump and his impact on the republican establishment. Trump is a very clear sx-laster, sp/so, though.
Take it a step further....Ocean's Moonshine sp/so 8 description is nothing like Trump:
"Self-pres/social Eights are the least dramatic of type Eight."
"But, even though they are often quiet, they are very much in control of themselves and their direction in life."
That's off, in every conceivable way. It's obvious Trump loves drama and that whoever wrote that description just didn't know what they were talking about. Trump is continually the loudest one in the room and couldn't be any more dramatic unless he started stoning the other candidates on stage.
the sx/so 8 description at ocean's moonshine is a much better fit:
"They demand everyone’s attention, and usually get it."
"With the self-preservational instinct least developed, this subtype has a lot of extroverted energy. This type isn’t afraid to go after what they want in life."
etc....etc
Now that sounds more like Trump. And Trump is a pretty clear sp-first. Ocean's Moonshine had everything backwards. Totally out of touch....
