The hell it can. That sort of "propensity evidence" is routinely prohibited by way of pretrial orders in limine from even being mentioned at trial, else you risk triggering a mistrial and/or getting dressed down by the judge in a sidebar that everyone in the courtroom can hear.
It depends on what type of trial it is, and what type of behavior. It is very easy to also backdoor in this type of evidence by getting the defendant to bring it up their self, thus opening the door to its admissibility.
People KNOW Trump never does anything for free. If there are no records to show he was paid for his appearances on WWE, and the only money exchanged was the $5 million 'donated' to his Foundation, one in which he was later found to have inappropriately used the funds for personal expenses, it is quite easy to draw a line between 2 points in a civil trial like he is now facing in NY.
