Agreed, Trump doesnt seem to know what hes doing when it comes to the economy. Hes used to loading up businesses with debt while collected paychecks then filling bankruptcy while running out the backdoor (which he then will use to claim fradulent tax deductions, like many accuss him of doing in the 90s). You cant pull stunts like that with a country - especially one that issues the world reserve currency - without crashing the world economy and throwing everyone into a huge recession. The fact that he even suggested he might renegotiate the debt, although he later retracted that statement, shows just how clueless he is.

Looking at the budget plan Republicans are planning to vote on, this ticking timebomb could become even more deadly.

I'm not optimistic.
