In a private gathering, Trump suggested that cryptocurrency might be a solution to the $35 trillion U.S. debt problem. According to a leaked video, he remarked on the potential of digital assets, stating, "I will write on a small note: $35 trillion in cryptocurrency, we have no debt, this is what I like to do." This is not the first time Trump has hinted at using digital assets to tackle national debt, having previously mentioned Bitcoin as a potential tool to "save the United States."
