Trump doesn't care enough about budgets or deficits or the philosophy of reducing government to be willing to tolerate any political consequences to this.

I'm not convinced he cares about anything, including that. What "political consequences"? Assuming our republic is still intact in four years, he's done. No more Oval Office. Probably no future aspirations. He may spout-off in X, but he's safely ignorable after that. He succeeded in what he wanted most: avoiding prison. From what I gather, he's now more interested in punishing everyone he doesn't like, even if it negatively affects "his people". Oh...and further enriching himself. Speculatively, if there is compromat out there, he might also be motivated to keep that under wraps. Though, maybe not even that (i.e. when he's done, it wouldn't make any difference at that point).
