Much of Trump's failure to display any understanding of economics can be seen as the logical consequence of him believing that trade, economics, "deals" are a zero-sum game. It explains many of his actions.
For him to "win", the "other side" has to lose. There's no such thing as a transaction that both sides benefit from. So he hires a contractor, but then stiffs them on some or all of their invoices. etc, etc.
I actually think that he believes *everything* is a zero-sum game, not just commerce. It's a very pouty-5-year-old way of looking at the world.
