Newsflash: Trump is and always has been "a businessman," a "deal maker." When you are a businessman, you seek ways to work with the person (nation in this case) to get the best deal for your business (nation in this case). Hostilities aren't good for business (trade).
Last, if you look at Trump "prior" to his coming down the steps to run for president in 2016, you will see that he was the "darling" of the Democrat Party. If you research the organizations, people he donated to, they were pro-Democrat. He even donated to the Clinton Foundation. He gave interest free loans to three blacks who referred to him for a loan. He gave them the loans and instructed them that if they succeeded, they just had to write him a check to pay the loans off. When they succeeded they went to him. His response was to rip up their checks and congratulate them on their success.
