He has also expressed a strong desire to revamp the permanent residence visa allocation process to use an individual-focused, merit-based system that prefers applicants with a high income.
If I had to choose one, I'd prefer more employment visas over family visas and definitely diversity visas.

Don't you find it strange that a nationalist like Trump would advocate for visas for high skilled foreigner which directly competes with citizens for high paying prestigious jobs? Why would a high skilled foreigner with a spouse or children want to emigrate to the US without a family visa?

Young, unmarried individuals will be able to immigrate. Applicants can also bring in their spouses if they are educated and can are fluent in English.
It appeases his nationalist base because it would not give visas to immigrants in low-paid jobs. Most of those voters were never in contention for the high-paying tech jobs anyway. They have no reason to care too much about them.
Overall immigration will decrease.
Trump has proposed eliminating many of the major existing categories of legal immigration in the core, family-owned action based system. He's proposed replacing the eliminated categories with a small number of renewable non-immigrant (no path to citizenship or work permission) visas for parents of US citizens.
He's proposed no concrete increase in total permanent allocation in the remaining categories, though he's talked about cancelling the diversity visa lottery and reallocating the quota used there to help clear backlogs elsewhere.
