Think of it like this: In Politics, there are a lot unspoken tribal rules. There are things that, whilst not against any *actual* rules, simply aren't done, because they're considered "cheap" or "unsporting". It's like the real life equivalent of picking Oddjob in goldeneye, or showing up to casual MTG games with a $20000 netdeck. You didn't break any rules, but you're still kind of a jerk. Trump doesn't care about *any* of those preconceived notions of "fairness". To him, there are simply strong moves, and weak ones, and he always goes for the best one available to him, even if it makes him look like a jerk. This is why so many of his party contemporaries dislike him. After all, he doesn't care if his career in politics only lasts one term, or if he makes the republican party unelectable afterwards. He's got all his other companies and his millions of dollars to go back to.
