I don't get the trend to make things set in the 80s and 90s. What a boring setting. It's very rare that the time setting is even used for anything at all other that "just because" (see: Joker, Fresh off the Boat, Goldbergs).

The Goldbergs is set in the 80's because that is when they guy that created the show grew up and it's about his childhood.

I get that a sizable chunk of his base will only listen to what he says and not anyone else, but the least he could do is get an actual scientist or doctor to write out a script for him so he could give advice to them rather than bungling it himself.

Trump is an expert on everything, as he is has explained numerous times.

Why did they leave a police vehicle unattended?

He didn't actually steal a police vehicle:

"Authorities said he wore a police uniform at one point and made his car look like a RCMP vehicle."

Since police cruisers are based on commercial models and old cars are frequently auctioned off, it really isn't that hard to make a decent fake car.
