That’s not how it works. You can’t switch parties after they’ve pinned you as an icon of evil. He would’ve had to run the first term as a democrat for this to work.

Happens all the time. A month ago Paul Mitchell switched from Republican to Independent. A year ago, Jeff van Drew switched from Democrat to Republican.
Sounds to me like you're making excuses for an assertion that you can't prove.
Trump had to swicth parties because he never even have a chance in his own hometown, where he's been a laughing stock since the 1970s. That's why he never ran for local office.
