It seems you really don't have an understanding of how big time finance works. Nor do I really, but you should realize that if you are owed $8 Trillion in debt by a counter party, the LAST THING IN THE WORLD you want to do is anything which might risk lessening the value of the debt you hold.

Apparently you’ve never heard of the expression “You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”

Step 1: The Europeans slow down the purchase of U.S. debt. That will drive up U.S. interest we have to pay, increase our debt, and trigger even higher inflation.

Step 2: Let existing debt mature without replacing it.

Step 3: Support a new world currency to be used internationally.

Step 4: The U.S. is fucked.

Yes, Trump is that stupid.
