What is going on with him lately?
>Last month, the Republican presidential front-runner made news when he told the Washington Post that he'd push to “get rid of the $19 trillion” national debt “fairly quickly,” estimating the effort could be completed “over a period of eight years.”
>But in an interview with Fortune published April 21, Trump seemed to walk it back, rejecting the idea of eliminating the national debt within 10 years.

Has he been baiting all this time? He seems to backtrack on a lot of things lately.

I agree! I was on board with Trump since day one, but after seeing this Bloomberg article, I'm afraid I just cannot stay with Trump any longer.
I'm now a #cruzmissile, and if you were smart, you'd be, too!
Anders missed you unfortunately.
Breifist.
There's no reason to eliminate the national debt when there are tons of worthy causes to spend money on such as defense and public infrastructure which Obama has sorely neglected in favor of free money for wall street and Tyrone.
Why pay back debt when you are the creditor?

In fact at this point the only thing that could save the economy would be some deficit spending similar to that during the Regan administration.

because mouthbreathers don't understand the way it is, so "bad debt" and "balanced budget" etd buzzwords are good for public rhetoric. if he has any sense, he won't do it.

Honestly if he just keeps his promise of stopping the nation building and focuses on domestic affairs, he can just grow the GDP and "balance the budget".
Obviously he can take out ISIS but enough of this nation building.

I can't be bothered to google it myself but I seem to recall many years ago Trump saying something along the lines of wanting to raise a single one off tax on the wealthy to attempt to clear the debt.
It wouldn't surprise me if he is planning something like that still and keeping it quiet, he has said many times when he has spoken about defense issues that you shouldn't make every plan public.
It might just work, a sudden one off tax avoids most of the problems with taxation (i.e that wealthy people just leave and you collect less) and would be better for everyone, including those who have to pay the tax, in long run.

He will be adding 25 trillion to it

It's almost like everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie and he only says what is convenient for him at any given moment
>he actually believes Trump will build a wall
