If Trump creates a global economic recession (one in which the world has never seen before), caused by tariffs and trade wars, while dismantling EU, NAFTA, NATO, Trump will get depressed real estate assets for nothing. This has always been his mantra. He's bragged about this.
Trump's goal is to render American global power diminished so as to boost Russian hegemony. To do this he's destroying US economic allies and the security alliance.
Trump somehow sees this as a means to acquire depressed real estate assets for nothing as he did during the 2008-09 meltdown. Trump couldn't care less for America or her allies. It's about to enrich himself. This is why he ran for President.
Trump has unparalleled support to dismantle the US led economic world order from American far right populists and far left anarchists who see America as a scourge.
The imbeciles who see Trump as their Fuhrer and culture warrior prophet don't see his dismantling of trade, economic and security alliances as a negative. Burning din the house is their ultimate victory. 
Trump has emerged from bankruptcy a half dozen times after economic malaise. Trump's trade wars will achieve his goal to restructure his collapsing business interests. Destroying the EU, NAFTA, G7 and NATO are simply part of the #Gerasimov doctrine training he's nurtured.
To alleviate this economic destruction he's pushing for, he's throwing white nationalists (in both parties) in rural America, red meat divisive issues on immigration, gay weddings, unions, wage equalization, environmental issues, black sports figures, diminishing white birth rate
...throwing them bones
He's giving them billionaire tax cuts and promising his base that their lack of skills, education and satisfaction in their miserable lives will be alleviated by his war on institutions they simply can't comprehend.
Voter apathy on the left and GOP gerrymandering since the 1980s has given a small political party virtual control of the courts, media conglomerates, legislatures and now the Presidency. Coupled with Russian cyber warfare, Trump has built a daunting regime.
