Trump on Coming Debt Crisis: ‘I Won’t Be Here’ When It Blows Up’

BATTLE FOR WORLD / DAILY BEAST – December 14, 2018: The article highlights that President Donald Trump thinks the balancing of the nation’s books is going to, ultimately, be a future president’s problem.

And sources close to the president say he has repeatedly shrugged it off, implying that he doesn’t have to worry about the money owed to America’s creditors—currently about $21 trillion—because he won’t be around to shoulder the blame when it becomes even more untenable.

(BattleForWorld: Reader, if you have not read the posting The Fall Of America Will Happen, please do. It was written in early 2017 and hints at some of the economic problems to come for America, and in a later posting: the Future Forecast For America, where a chronicle of events were given.

I think what Trump said is essentially correct, but currently the way things are going, elements of the ruling elites are trying to paint a picture that the Trump administration will inherit the economic collapse of America.)

Trump continues: “Yeah, but I won’t be here,” the president bluntly said, according to a source who was in the room when Trump made this comment during discussions on the US exploding debt. However, a Former Senior White House official said: “I never once heard him talk about the debt.”

“But there’s no doubt this administration and this Congress need to address spending because we have out-of-control entitlement programs,” said Marc Short, who until recently worked for Trump as his legislative affairs director; adding, “it’s fair to say that… the president would be skeptical of anyone who claims that they would know exactly when a [debt] crisis really comes home to roost.”

The article continues, noted that one current senior Trump administration official vented that Trump “doesn’t really care” about actually attacking the debt “crisis,” and prefers simply “jobs and growth, whatever that means.”

(BattleForWorld: The comment by one of Trump’s current senior official is revealing. To tackle the debt problem means massive austerity on the American people and deep cuts in entitlement programs… And Trump has decided to increase the US military budget … which further adds to the US national debt.)
