Very dangerous to apply modern definitions of homosexuality to the Ancients. In fact, the word "homosexuality" wasn't even coined until late 18th C, a couple of years before the word "heterosexuality" was coined!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Hundred_Years_of_Homosexuality

Generally-speaking, the Ancients often defined themselves as "Tops" and "Bottoms," and again--generally-speaking--sometimes thought it was unbecoming for a guy to bottom into adulthood. "Tops" --as usual--bore no stigma and felt comfortable penetrating either sex, and "Bottoms" -- as usual-- were stigmatized. Ancient "tops" would laugh at today's idea that they were "gay."

Back to Trump: modern men often confuse modern attitudes towards the homosexual act with ancient ones.
