Turn and turn about
I have just been reading a biography on Trump, written by Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher. Apparently Trump has changed parties between Democrats and Repulicans seven times from 1999 to 2011. Why I wonder would he want to do this?
Is what I am thinking so obvious or may it be he simply cannot make his mind up?

I'm not sure that's true - this is what Wiki says:

Omah said:-"Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987 and since that time has changed his party affiliation five times. In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party."
According to the biography I was reading:-
"After registering as a Democrat in 2001 Trump switched back to the Republicans in 2003. He became a Democrat again in 2005 and a Republican again in 2009. He chose not to be affiliated with any party in 2011 and returned to the GOP in 2012 (stoking speculation that he would seek the presidency. Asked what he would say to critics who saw the constant party switching as proof that he had no core beliefs, Trump responded - I think it had to do more with practicality, because if you're going to run for office, you would have had to make friends"
Whichever way you look at it it does seem he changed allegiance according to who might do him the most good. No morals or core principles IMO. In my book this man has no conscience or shame.
