    I have “US defaulting on its debt” on my Trump presidency bingo card. No one knows what happens if it comes to that.

    I also have “US testing a nuclear warhead” on there, for what it’s worth.

      Trump on treasury

      We’re even looking at Treasury. There could be a problem—you’ve been reading about that, with Treasuries, and that could be an interesting problem because it could be that a lot of those things don’t count. In other words, that some of that stuff that we’re finding is very fraudulent, therefore maybe we have less debt than we thought of. Think of that!

      don’t count = default

        Maybe they could have more debt than they thought. Think of that!

        A thorough inspection could tip the balance either way.
