Why does Trump hate all international cooperation? The Rosetta stone is this: " he doth project too much" /1
He thinks every deal he makes is an effort to cheat the other side AND he thinks everyone else is doing the same /2
So any existing deal the US signed must be unfair and exploitative since that is the only kind of deal.
/3
NATO, NAFTA, WTO, TOP, you name it. The only agreement he does not hate are those he does know about (NORAD?). /4
So, expect him to seek to blow up any deal he did not make (Iran deal is another example). His view of agreements aligns well with his mercantilism, unilateralism, and isolationism. He is an uncertainty engine about most things /5
But it is always a safe bet he will upend any agreements made by his predecessors... they have to be unfair because why otherwise would the other side agree? /6
