It’s not even that, he views everything purely in terms of his own ego. When he actually does speak in terms of monetary value as when harping on and frequently lying about meaningless amounts in trade deficits, it is solely to sell tariffs or a mostly meaningless brand building campaign like the NAFTA to USMC bullshit, disguised as a real personal accomplishment.

Quite true, as well. He wants history to remember him for his many “achievements,” though so far all he has done is recycle old ones he has unilaterally canceled or backed out of.
