Morphology

mini-Trump = Trump (transparent) = mini + Trump

The prefix 'mini-' clearly indicates a smaller or lesser version, so combined with the name 'Trump' it straightforwardly denotes a person resembling Trump on a smaller scale.

Etymology

Mini-Trump combines mini- meaning 'small' with Trump, the name of a well-known U.S. leader. It gives an image of a 'small' person who acts like Trump, loud and bold, so it means someone who looks or acts like him but on a smaller stage.
