Seems to be a complete lack of any moral compass, no concept of "doing the right thing".
To me, things like this say far more about somebody than Trump says about himself (which I must admit does provide good comedy).

One (alleged) murder vs $100bn in trade?
It's not Trump, in this instance he's simply being honest; show me a single country that wouldn't do the trade.
(As a rule countries are entities without moral compasses.)
