After assuring Americans he is not running for president ?to make things unstable for the country,? the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald J. Trump, suggested that he might reduce the national debt by persuading creditors to accept something less than full payment.
Asked on Thursday whether the United States needed to pay its debts in full, or whether he could negotiate a partial repayment, Mr. Trump told the cable network CNBC, ?I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal.?
He added, ?And if the economy was good, it was good. So, therefore, you can?t lose.?

How insane, how truly nuts, is it that Donald Trump is actually the presumptive nominee of a major party for president of the United States?
So nuts that The Donald has finally come out with his Big Plan for the Economy: Let?s make like Greece and default on the national debt. Put this on a cheap hat: Let?s Make Greece Great Again.
Speaking on CNBC on Thursday, Trump floated his plan to deal with the national debt: Ask creditors to take a haircut, or a reduction in the face value of their debt, which is a default, in exchange for ? what exactly? Well, exactly nothing. But thinking has never been a prerequisite for speaking in Trumpland.
