So how are you going to pay the check?

Congratulations Americans. Each and everyone of you owes the world $US 66,474 as of today. This comes to a total bill of $US 21.69 TRILLION. (Just to compare thats about 150% of what Greece owes) And sadly printing $US to cover it wont wash.. You need to sell stuff that people overseas want to buy. Thats how foreign trade works.
So lets skip over the circus of Trump and reporters and strippers and his fake tan, fake news and fake billions and cut to the real stuff. Other than selling off your military (I cant wait to see used Supercarriers on Craigs List) How are you going to pay? By the way, the numbers have gone backwards by over a $Trillion since Trump took office and budget projections will add another $984 Billion next year IF they dont blow out.

Same as always happens the country the money is owed to just gets stiffed. Japan already learned this to their cost.

@iagreed That worked when money was not truly global or had to be backed by Gold. And America had the advantage as the reserve currency for trade. Until Trump blew that with cancelled trade deals and tariffs. Now American is actually quite vulnerable to being the one stiffed.
