And the usual dirty tricks would have been employed--even setting up phony "meetings" between Federalists such as Hamilton with manufactured "operatives" of foreign governments, such as Brlitain, who still had eyes on retaking their own colonies.
I think Hamilton would not have been impressed by Trump. Probably would have been the original Never Trumper. Hamilton was not a man with bonespurs or one to suffer blowhards lightly.

Hamilton was as energetic and tireless as Trump is. And he wouldn't have been judgmental about Trump's sex episodes considering his own sexual infidelity, or considering the sexual proclivities of those in his own Federalist circles such as Jefferson who was not a sexual purist.
He was also as fervently business friendly as Trump. And he supported tariffs to bolster American business. And he believed in immigration only by merit which was useful for American business needs.
Maybe you have some notion that he was a noble spirit. He was a hard driving political and commercial realist, not much different, if at all, than Trump.
