According to Foresight News, Cointelegraph reported that former US President Trump mentioned in an interview with Fox that Bitcoin or "crypto checks" could be used to repay the US government's $35 trillion national debt and avoid an imminent debt crisis. "Who knows, maybe we'll repay $35 trillion (of national debt) and give them a small cryptocurrency check, right? We'll give them a little Bitcoin and wipe out our $35 trillion."
