It's a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.

As with everything, they lied. It's about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I'm convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.

They didn't even lie. They said this is what they were going to do. He chose to believe that plan would only hurt people he disliked.
