Letter: Is bankrupting the U.S. government Trump’s exit strategy?

Is bankrupting U.S. government Trump’s exit strategy?

The current White House resident (I refuse to call him president because he fails to exhibit the dignity we expect of our leader and because he has, by his actions, become the laughingstock of Europe) is setting record budget deficits — where are those fiscal GOP conservatives that were so active during the Obama administration? — as well as increases in the national debt.

Considering his lack of knowledge of the Constitution and laws in general, I wonder if he thinks Article II, which he mentions frequently as his source of power, gives him the power to declare the U.S. government bankrupt so he can walk out from under the debt as he has, in the past, with a number of his failed commercial enterprises.
