So your logical conclusion brings you to believe the debt has nothing to do with the wall, but that trade does somehow?

What?  What the?   Are you being serious right now?  Are you confusing national debt with trade deficits?  You do know those are wholly disparate things, right?

The national debt is the ongoing difference between government revenue and government outlays which are paid for via the sale of treasury instruments (bonds and the like).

Trade deficits are the imbalance of the value from exports and imports by companies between various countries.

Glad you know. I didn't see an answer to the question though.
