Is Trump's Trade Policy Irrational or Rational and Misguided?

I see Trump as rational, but deeply misguided. His unpredictability is risky and frustrating, but it's also a staple of his governance. Unpredictability is the most predictable feature of this administration. But Trump's goal is consistent and predictable. Trump's goal is to cut deals that make him look Herculaean. The deals he most covets are those that cast him as fixing the trade problem with China and fixing the "worst trade deal ever negotiated," NAFTA.
