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.
I agree with you at least on the broad general statements you made but even as a NYC billionaire real-estate developer, when his own personal wishes or aspirations become seriously threatened or there's a distinct possibility that their could be numerous threats to his "brand" or his political/financial well-being, Trump never fails to suddenly become interested in analyzing and being worried about solving MACRO issues or dilemmas. He's just never really been significantly pushed or prodded by his enemies in D.C. or the unfair, gritty painful realities of geopoliitics to feel that intense pressure where it becomes so acute he starts to act out in histrionics, wild mood swings and venomous temper tantrums.
