      1. Trump's mercantilist views on trade spring from a very primitive & physical notion of what a nation is. Let's ponder meaning of "If you don't have steel, you don't have a country!" https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/969558431802806272 …

      2. Trump has a hard time thinking in abstract terms, which is why he can only see trade as a zero sum game of wins/losses, not a mutually beneficial process.

      3. There's something visceral & materialistic about Trump's understanding of policy. Remember "take the oil."

          Elite opinion has turned too much the other way. Where increasingly abstract concepts of nationhood take precedence over history, communities, places (!) leading to ridiculous arguments like Bret Stephen's that the less time you have been in USA, the more American you become!

          I like your phrase, “deficit in abstract thinking.” Academia places great emphasis on it, but businessmen can succeed at concrete projects while failing at studies. Trump in a nutshell.

          He is just taking the notion of running a country like a business to its natural conclusion.
