Republicans are easier marks for grifters, you just need to appeal to their bigotry while picking their pockets. Tell them the lie they wish was true.
Historical revisionism, although now popular on the part of the deceitful Progressives/Marxist/Democrats, will never undo the t***h. Until the Democrats became the party of death and perversion, there was no reason to be locked into either party.
As a businessman, Donald J. Trump has always held many patriotic "America First" beliefs that have been considered traditional Republican values: strong economy, strong military, law and order, racial integration, and support for civil rights for which, in past decades, he has received recognition from both Black and Jewish organizations.
Donald Trump identified himself as a Republican in many of his beliefs, in an interview with Larry King,
at the 1988 Republican convention in New Orleans.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usb0iE5WiZITrump turned his back on both major parties in 1989 by registering as an independent.
In 2000, he mounted his first actual run for president, as a candidate for the Reform Party.
Trump's allegiance switched again in 2001, when he registered as a Democrat.
In 2009, less than a year after Barack Obama's e******n win, he switched back to the Republican Party.
The real-estate magnate registered as an independent in order to leave his options open for a third-party run in the 2012 e******n.
Trump returned to the GOP fold a few months later (2012) to endorse Republican candidate Mitt Romney in his losing battle against Obama.
Since that time, Trump has been a reliable and prolific donator to the GOP.
