Yes.
Some friends and I have been nursing a theory that, as Steve Forbes did a few cycles ago, Trump was only running to promote his brand.
His surprising victories in the primaries raised his sights about where the brand might go.
With Roger Ailes joining the pack, our current theory is that when this is all over Trump will start his own TV network- a Fox on steroids.
