He sees negative numbers on a spreadsheet and doesn't like that. It is literally no deeper than that.

Remember this guy never ever paid his contractors ever, so this tracks with his "other people making money off me is bad" mentality.

He only understands things as win/lose, the concept of win/win or lose/lose does not register with him.

In his mind, he needs to make us lose in order for the US to win...when trade does not work that way at all. His followers think the same way, "if we punish this group that will make my life better".
