There's really no complicated explanation for this, or any kind of grand theory. It's just Econ 101 and he flat out does not understand it because he's an idiot.
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable.
But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

There is a lot of shadiness here. But the fact that Bessent referred to an account that is managing sovereign assets of a foreign nation as a large asset on the US balance sheet is a BFD. It's either theft or he doesn't understand basic accounting.
CASTEN: Trump said 'we're taking in billions and billions from Venezuela.' Who is the 'we'? That suggests flows to US persons
BESSENT: Again, this is one of the largest assets ever to go on the US balance sheets
CASTEN: You can't testify whether or not they're flowing to US persons?
BESSENT: No
