"We're not a rich country. We're a debtor nation," is what then-candidate Trump told The Washington Post in an interview on March 31, 2016 (a full transcript was published two days later). "We've got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt."
How long would it take to do that, asked the Post's Bob Woodward.
"Fairly quickly," Trump replied. When pressed for a more specific answer, Trump provided a shocking timeline. "Well, I would say over a period of eight years."
TO THIS:
"America is now $39,000,000,000,000 in debt—yes, $39 trillion. It took roughly 200 years to accumulate the first $1 trillion. Now we add that in a matter of months. Every child in America today carries a $530,000 share of this debt—a crushing legacy we must reverse. Compounding the problem, we now spend more than $1 trillion a year just on interest to service our debt
AND NOW THIS:
Additionally, Trump proposed that the United States might consider not repaying portions of its debt to countries that hold U.S. Treasury bonds.

interesting observation....
You're missing the point, it's the libs pulling the trigger, so are you implying that liberals want to improve Trumps ratings? Get a brain libtards.
