It's a big deal because it suggests he may run for President as an independent.

Of course he's not actually running for President and is merely doing it for the publicity.

Bloomberg's was actually relevant because he's the mayor of the largest city in the country and he switched party affiliation shortly before his reelection campaign. Trump is definitely just an attention whore though, yeah.
