It "makes sense" only if you believe that if X donates £50 a month to a charity but Y (who earns about the same or more) only donates £5 a month this means X should stop donating.
In other words, the "sense" is derived from believing that helping the vulnerable is not a matter of morality (I'm hopelessly old fashioned I know!) but accountancy.
This epitomises Trump.
And illustrates why his woeful character is of central importance regarding his suitability for high office.
