Trump couldn't pay off the debt if he wanted to. not without millions of people starving. :)

But he could easily negotiate a complete reset (esp. since much of our debt comes from subsidizing and protecting many of the same countries we "owe"), end the Fed and direct Congress to create a new currency backed by gold or some other commodity with intrinsic value rather than inherent debt built into its creation.

no he could not. you are hand waving over way too many subjects are that a lot more complex that you assume. Also, if the FED is 100% lawful, backed by congress, Trump has a long road to hoe. However, Trump could nationalize the FED, which would be gangster. Then he would need to unwind the debt, many steps to get to where we both would like to go. #andrewgause on youtube has lots of good info. :)
