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

That's because your question doesn't make any sense but yes, the national debt has nothing to do with the wall but no, trade does not have anything to do with the wall either...as that is Trump's warped way to making you think that is how Mexico is going to pay for the wall.

The first portion explains it in a nutshell. Some economists think it's bad, some think it's good, some think it should be balanced. Overall it's fine unless it swings to far in either direction. Since it's tied into many things, like imports, exports, savings and investment rates, spending, etc, as long as it all matches up in the end is all that matters. When it all doesn't, that's when you have problems. Pointing out only trade is like pointing out only negatives without taking everything into account.

Then you can use trade deals with Mexico as a way to say Mexico is going to pay for it.
