FWIW, there's a theory in DC now about the whole Trump run, his "meltdown" now, and what his future is post election. It's brilliant, and interesting.

Following the election, Trump will launch a right-wing media company with Roger Ailes, Steve Bannon, and Sean Hannity as principals. The media company (will obviously be Trump-branded) will in general align with his campaign and will have as a major narrative that Trump’s loss was the result of a betrayal by the Republican Establishment. Essentially pitting his supporters against the republican old guard.
Paul Ryan, the RNC, and even Fox News will be objects of hate only slightly less intense than what's directed at Hillary Clinton.
It's going to make it very evident that Trump’s intention was never to win the Republican primary (which he ended up doing and had to continue to keep the charade going), just to gin up attention for this new venture. Upon starting his campaign, he found that the Republican Party had become so hollowed out, weakened, and disconnected from reality that he was able to single-handedly defeat the “real” candidates. That gave him the national stage and, although he couldn’t actually assemble a winning coalition, all the attention he could handle and the power to craft the narrative for his next venture. The next four years will be open warfare within what’s left of the Republican Party.
And Trump just made a wonderful (for him at least) business decision.
