Not the DNC, this is all Bill Clinton, I think this came about when Obama beat her for the democratic ticket, I think the Clintons realized a half competent republican candidate would pose a serious threat to Hillary, that the combination of voter fatigue after a decade of a democratic president along with the fear that a woman immediately after a black president might be a bridge to far for the U.S.
Initially Trump was just anti Obama, in fact in reality he still is, the only political issue he's really had any long term standing on was the birther issue, every thing else has been just dog whistle opportunism. He's studiously avoided any real policy position, he literally has no position on anything politically. He's just destroyed the republicans, that's his only achievement.
I don't doubt it started as a bit of a lark and a cheap publicity ploy for apprentice, but Trump is a New York liberal and close friend of the Clintons, always has been and there's no explanation for why he isn't now.
