Hui, your OP took some doing.
Sorry, maybe tomorrow a more elaborate reply, for now just this:
$Trump and his entourage do everything to fill their own pockets.
They don't care about international relations and trade unless it benefits them.
And they don't care at all whether they ruin the US-American economy in the long run.
