Donald Trump does not seem to hold political party organizations in high regard.
For the most part, his political involvement has been for practical reasons.

Some take aways :
• Trump has an extraordinarily energetic central nervous system much like Teddy Roosevelt but more targeted to industry and enterprise.
• Trump's presidency will be very energetic, transparent, and communicative.
• Trump will be a very hard working President.
• His interaction with his older brother (who everybody loved) tells me that he thinks that everybody is like him - or wants to be - or should be.
• His relationship with his older brother was a hard lesson in tolerance for him.
• Trump is the Babe Ruth of career achievements.
• He is dumb like a fox. When you think he just said something stupid - he didn't. It's just that you were not his target audience.
• Trump knows the people - the folk.
• His son, Donald Jr. is right. Trump is a "Blue Collar Billionaire".
• More than anything, his TV show, The Apprentice, was his passion. He wants all Americans to have confidence (like he does) to venture.
• Donald Trump is attracted to and marries smart, high achieving women.
• The highest levels of a Trump Administration is certain to have many women - and they will be bright and assertive.
• Donald Trump's children are very important to him. And it shows.
