Even if China and others didn't call in the loans. Once China economy drops, it won't be buying US bonds. Which means the US has less to borrow.

Instead of thinking YOU somehow know more about trade than Trump...perhaps you should actually hear what he has said about that very thing.

He didn't "forget" about it. He points out (correctly) that China NEEDS us. And that we have a strong hand at the negotiating table.

But I forgot...people on GFY are so much more knowledgeable about international trade than Trump is.
What Trump knows and what he tells people aren't the same. Nice to see you believe him though.

But that's exactly what a Government does with taxes, it builds things, employs people, safeguards the population. Why do you think otherwise?
