I think the idea is, it gets under his skin as intended, but Trump's fragile ego means now he digs in even more when making terrible decision so he won't "chicken out."

Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. Trump has cost his billionaire friends more than any Democrat tax bracket ever could, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.

I mean, given the apparently obvious insider trading on those moves, a lot of billionaires will take the lesson that they should just cozy up to Trump even more and get in on the real profits rather than back off and not join the feast.
