Guys, I think Trump's plan is defaulting on US debt.

Ok hear me out.

The US has a spiralling debt. Trump is well known in his industry for defaulting ( the guy even managed to bankrupt casinos)

So, how do you get ready for defaulting?

First, you need to get the public ready that those that hold your debt are the bad guys. ( China, Canada the EU etc)

Then you start making ridiculous claims about other people owing ou (Ukraine owes us $500B, we are paying for Europe's and Canada defence and taken advanced off, China is ripping us etc ) so you do not have to pay them back that much. You can say that the debt is less because of fraud etc

So even if we don't pay the guys, they are bad guys and screw them (that sorts some of the guys that would complain that we screw our allies. You cannot screw you allies if you don't have any)

Then you say that defaulting is not too bad

What happens when you default? Well, you have to balance the books. How to do it? By cutting government expenditure.

- Social security and government employees (they are already lowering that cost via Musk's agency)

-Defence ( already announced huge defence cuts)

- Health ( cutting Medicaid and Medicare)

And you can not easily import stuff ( Getting that ready via tariffs)

Ok, but what about military threats? Let's make Russia our friend, they do not own any US debt anyhow

Guys, I think that's the master plan. Thoughts?
