As bitjunkie said, if you were referring to 90s in the possessive, it would be 90s’ since it’s a plural noun already - much like parents’ mortgages or stores’ buildings.
That said, I would probably look at the phrase “90s child” as either (1) a compound noun not needing anything to be possessive (like “ice cream”), or (2) with “90s” as an adjective modifying “child” (like “latchkey kid”).
'90s is a contraction of 1990s, or whatever other century’s tenth decade is implied. So the apostrophe belongs as an example of a contraction or possessive :)
Partly its about reminding his supporters and the neutrals that the people who actively dislike him really do exist. One of their talking points around election fraud/denialism is the idea that there just aren’t enough voters against Trump to justify the votes, because that’s what they’re told.
Granted, they’re also told that people like these booers are all paid actors. Paid by whom, and how do they keep anyone from blabbing about these arrangements?
Anyway, every person who gets splintered off from the Trump Train is a win, so push every way you can.
Basically apostrophes are never used to separate a word from a normal suffix in this kind of novel or unusual construction. Pretty much just use apostrophes for contractions and (most) possessives. Example: 90s, not 90’s.

Edit: In English, for English words. Some languages, either those normally rendered in Latin script* or transliterated into it**, make use of apostrophes either to modify an adjacent phoneme or to indicate particular sounds or a glottal stop.
* English-like letters and punctuation
** Like Japanese written as if it were English, for example “Ohayo gozaimasu” which is written in hiragana as おはようございま.

Edit2: Others point out (correctly) that referencing the 1990s as a decade would be properly written as '90s, which is still a use of an apostrophe for a contraction.
Modify as you will.
It would be helpful if it weren’t so profitable for media organizations to spend so much time convincing people that other people aren’t kind, so why bother.

I mean, that’s his job, right? Like, his one definite real job? He’s “ready”? I should fucking hope so.
I don’t keep up with any of this stuff, and so it just makes me think of memes like this:
Modem starts dialing up. Everything is going fine, attempting 28.8k negotiation… failed. Okay, now I’m listening to 19.2k negotiation… failed again? Ugh, ok, 14.4k… no? Jesus fuck. Please let me at least have 9600…
