And of course, Trump can just do it, because he is such a great negotiator. I am at a loss for words with this one. Man, this has turned into a total cf and it keeps getting worse! I can't wait for this election to be finished, and Trump out of the news, and out of my mind.

I wonder if he knows that the huge majority of federal debt is owned to the US public?

I mean, at this point it wouldn't surprise me that he's either trying to deliberately screw over the public and the nation, or if he's just dumber than a sack of rocks.

This has gone to the second page far too fast. This is the scariest news of the day. Because it indicates, that he really thinks this way. Calling me a rapist I could dismiss as merely posturing for the benefit of racists and other SOBs. Saying something like this, however, is potentially so costly (even if he does not intend to implement it), that it cannot be explained merely as a campaign flourish. It, unfortunately, appears, that this is something Trump actually believes. And that is truly frightening.

Perhaps he is attempting to sink the bond market and thus provoke a recession, under the belief that Clinton's chances will go down if the economy is tanking.
