Question no. 3

Donald Trump said he could continue to "borrow knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal. The U.S. will never default because you can print the money." These are the most dangerous statements Trump has ever uttered. The first one is a blatant falsehood. If the economy collapsed, there would be no one to make a deal with. (__________________________). It would send the dollar into a collapse. Printing money would send the dollar back into decline. Interest rates would rise as creditors lost faith in U.S. Treasuries. That would create a recession.
a) That would send the entire world into another Great Depression.
b) Trump claimed this would raise wages by $30 billion over seven years.
c) He negotiated "the biggest deal of my life" with those voters who felt they had lost the American Dream.
