U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said his administration was examining U.S. Treasury debt payments for possible fraud and suggested that the country’s $36 trillion debt load might not be that high.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said administration officials who have been combing through payment records in an effort to identify wasteful spending have turned their attention to the debt payments that play a central role in the global financial system.

    He’s not questioning the credit of the United States government, is he? I feel like there is a constitutional clause concerning this.

      The constitution is legislation. If he doesn’t enforce the sanctions which are also legislation, what makes you think he cares to follow any? The fact that they haven’t fast tracked him for removal and we don’t have 100% of congress screaming at him for removal means the Republic has fallen. The constitution means nothing.
