However being able to manage a business is very different to being able to manage an economy, being a multi billionaire and having been successful in business does not mean they will be successful managing an economy.

Trump said the US needs to get rid of $19 trillion of debt in the next 8 years and that that is realistic, not only is it not realistic but debt is a necessary part of an economy. If a country is not in debt it is not managing its money properly because it could have spent more money and had better facilities. Of course there is a point to which debt is too much debt and is completely unmanageable; but with the USA's credit rating and size of their economy its a fair assertion that the USA is not at that point.

Not only that but while Trump says the USA's debt needs to be removed he makes proposals that will increase the debt and promises not to use tax rises to cut the debt.
