Not really a Democrat, maybe registered as one at one time because he thought about running for president as a Dem. He only cares about himself.

Absolutely he only cares about himself and so will align with whichever party he stands to benefit the most from. His religious piety and anti-abortion stance are fake though. My point, though, is that he himself has identified with “those others” in his life, so he can’t really convince rational folks that they are not a jury of his peers. That they hopefully don’t adhere to his belief that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it should not be construed to mean that they are not a jury of his peers.

From wiki:

Donald Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987; since that time, he 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.

In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat", explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans."In a July 2015 interview, Trump said that he has a broad range of political positions and that "I identify with some things as a Democrat."

In other words, He "identifies" as whatever he thinks will help him most at the moment. And, yes, he probably is incapable of seeing all those New Yorkers he's taken advantage of over the years as his peers. After all, he's "the best", "the only one who can save America", etc.
