   The same con artist who managed to bankrupt a casino where "the house always wins" just bankrupted the United States of America.

   Everything Trump Touches Dies (ETTD) including empires, economies, and countries.

     Sorry. As much as I hate Trump & like your ETTD acronym, debt fear mongering like this is bull💩. USA can’t become insolvent in its own money. Fed gov creates $$ when it spends them into existence. We don’t need to borrow/tax to acquire dollars. See #MMT, eg Stephanie Kelton’s “The Deficit Myth” or https://findingmoneyfilm.com/

     Nonsense like this prevents us from housing, feeding, educating, & providing healthcare with pointless “how are we gonna pay for it?” question.
