Special interest: Trump's brand
Trump has vastly inflated his wealth by pricing his "brand" as the major "source" of his "wealth" (his bottom line is inflated by pricing his name recognition as worth billions of dollars).
Bottom line: It's about Trump's bottom line.
He couldn't have made it clearer:

Thursday - Greta Van Susteren pointed out that Trump told her in 2012, “Hillary Clinton, I think, is a terrific woman ... I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard ... I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.” [said that she performed well as Secretary of State.]
Trump explained that at the time it was his obligation as a businessman to get along well with everybody.
“I’m not going to say bad things about major politicians in this country when I’m running a major company where I need things,” Trump said. “I have international trade, I have international businesses. I’m not going to go around saying bad things about people.”...
“Donald Trump didn’t mean any harm when he criticized fellow GOP 2016 presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s face. He says he was just being the showman he is.
“Many of those comments are made as an entertainer because I did The Apprentice and it was one of the top shows on television,” he told Greta Van Susteren on Thursday night. “Some comments are made as an entertainer and as everybody said, as an entertainer is a much different ball game.”
Trump is for Trump, big deal. That's the positive as he is not bought by someone else. That he may have bought others in the past, who cares. I sure don't.
Greta? She's clueless, stupid, and her politics and interests suck. Hard to believe, even if only briefly, that she was once a federal prosecutor.
Fiorina?! She "surged to 3% in the polls", played her gender affirmative action card to get in the upcoming debate and is, by common observation hard to stand for more than a few minutes--whether you attribute it to her views, her voice, her looks, whatever, I really don't care. And what she represents--failed business leader, job destroyer, failed candidate, supporter of Islam, backroom dealmaker with the Russians, etc.--is nothing I'd want near the White House or leading the country. Face it, like Walker, she's a loser.
