   “I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody   
   knows debt better than me,” Trump told Norah   
   O’Donnell in an interview that aired on “CBS This   
   Morning.” “I’ve made a fortune by using debt, and   
   if things don’t work out I renegotiate the debt.   
   I mean, that’s a smart thing, not a stupid thing.”   
      
   “How do you renegotiate the debt?” O’Donnell   
   followed up.   
      
   “You go back and you say, hey guess what, the   
   economy crashed,” Trump replied. “I’m going to give   
   you back half.”
