If you had a time machine would you go back in time to the 1920s to stop Hitler becoming chancellor or would you go back to the early 2000s to stop Trump getting picked for The Apprentice?

Trumps motives. My theory:
Impose tariffs
Crash markets
His cronies buy shares/stocks that are now trading at reduced prices
Reduce tariffs
Watch markets restabilise
Value of shares/stocks increase
Sell shares/stocks
