Ukraine
Your first assumption is that Trump actually cares about the MACRO.
He doesnt. He cares how it can benefit HIM ( his "brand" and name/family )
Once you start looking at all this thru that lens, things become quite clear ( Gaza development, mineral deals in Ukraine ) you think that the US will form some philanthropic arm and take on these contracts? Oh no, he has plans for this personally.
He's also be emboldened by the fact that Republicans control currently Senate, House, and Presidency. And while its 50/50 even from an optimistic standpoint that Dems will regain control of the Senate in the 2026 mid-terms, most political analysts are arguing very preliminary and prematurely that Dems will win back control of the House and by a pretty significant margin--similar to the 2018 midterms, in a divided government, Trump doesn't have carte blanche and the freedom to do whatever he wishes like right now and there's a very good chance their might be a government shutdown about a month from now and some Dem lawmakers, like Sen. Andy Kim have gone on record that if need be, to slow his arse down and maybe teach him and Musk a lesson, they'll shut down the government until Trump and House Republicans start making some promises that they'll make sure they won't easily break.
In a federal shutdown, Trump and co. can't do sheet besides scream, shout and give long, tangential rants on his Truth Social account and despite his arrogant, bloated bravado, Mike Johnson needs Democratic support to even have a chance at passing a new yearly budget, meanwhile his would-be loudmouth boss makes that task even more impossible daily with his executive orders and delusional rants about owning Gaza, Greenland, Panama Canal or that Canada should become our 51st state. As painful as it might be in the short-run, it might be a regrettable but necessary option for Dems for once to be butt crevasses and refuse to act responsibly and shut down the federal government for a while to get his attention. If it pisses him off, good, that's the point but make it very apparent to MSM and American people as a whole that its Trump's rash, erratic behavior that led to this in the first place that a majority realize he's to blame.
You get that maternal fornicator's attention by saying, "No" repeatedly especially when you have the leverage to do so and if pushed, treat him with as much contempt and behave like an butt crevasse as much as he does to you with no apologies.
