Trump’s brain operates on a fifth-grader level or so when it comes to concepts like these. A fifth-grader bully. He knows the biggest kid in the yard gets to take the smaller kids lunch money. Consequently he thinks America gets to do the same to other countries. There is literally no further thought put into the whole concept. Those consequences you speak of are far beyond the mind of someone who cannot conceive of the future and is barely capable of object permanence.
