The claim by the Centre for American progress is that despite being more educated and working in a more productive economy, 30-year-olds today barely make more than 30-year-old Baby Boomers did in 1984.

Trump has voted consistently in general elections. There is no indication that he has voted in a presidential primary of any kind since 1989.

Donald Trump first registered to vote at Trump Tower in 1987. Since then, he has been a Republican three times, a Democrat once, a member of the Independence Party once and, for a brief period, had no party identification at all.
Since he registered to vote for the Republican Party just before the 2012 election, he hasn’t missed a vote. He registered too late to vote for Mitt Romney.
Trump spent the entire Bush years as a registered Democrat.
