It may make sense to assume that Trump’s worldview, like any person, is a system of his views and ideas about the world, as well as his beliefs, ideals, principles of activity and value orientations determined by these views.
Whatever the position of Trump’s “self,” such is his perception of the world (forgive me J.P. Sartre).
As a politician, Trump, unlike other people, must have a political worldview, i.e. Trump's ability to rally the American people to achieve certain goals. Is Trump currently uniting the American people? Or he offers American society the discord and worldview of an entrepreneur: pay your bills or get out.
Trump's approach is understandable and relevant to entrepreneurs and people of low intellectual level. Trump explains complex things in a simple and accessible way, the comprehension of which sometimes requires significant mental effort. Trump's hypertrophied populism proposes to mechanically transfer the laws of trade into political processes, thereby identifying trade and politics.
Are trade and politics the same thing? Who were those people in the USA who defeated fascism and built military bases around the world? Were those people traders or politicians? Can you imagine these people bargaining with Adolf Hitler? And Trump is already bargaining (albeit in absentia for now) with the modern Hitler - Vladimir Putin. Trump, together with the Republicans, has already betrayed Ukraine in order to bargain for power for himself.
A successful businessman must have a certain limited mind to achieve success (forgive me, Joseph Schumpeter). Trump failed to overcome the entrepreneurial worldview and go beyond it.
Businessmen and shopkeepers welcoming Trump welcome a man who, if necessary, can put the United States on one side of the scale, while his absolute power lies on the other side of the scale.
