"I think that in Trump's mind, he sees trade as a zero-sum game," Moshe Lander, an economics professor at Concordia University, told CBC News. "He's just hearing the word deficit. And that's the end of his math calculation."

He couldn't calculate anything even if he tried.

This is a wild quote, because it's still trying to apply a lens that is focused on economic decision making.

Trump never pays his bills. He thinks paying people for their work or products is what suckers and losers do. He actively steals from people, and he thinks it's the smartest thing he does.

He thinks the US is wrong for paying for what it buys. Nothing more complicated than that.
