I have never seen a passage where Jung posited the dragon as an actual archetype. He certainly has said that the dragon is an archetypal image & has also said that it is a symbol of the unconscious itself. The dragon as archetypal image has represented male, female, & both sexes.

I agree that it is interesting that Trump and Kanye think of themselves as dragons as one of its major themes is the masculine overcoming the dragon representing the feminine. But, that is only one of its themes and I don't think it is applicable here.

The theme that I see being applicable is the danger of the dragon as a negative symbol of the unconscious devouring the hero as symbol of consciousness thereby leading to an unconscious state. Here, I do see some validity in Trump self-identifying with the dragon.
