The only question for BOTH candidates is debt. I’ll post your fellow free press contributor, Niall Ferguson:

“According to the CBO, the share of gross domestic product going on interest payments on the federal debt will be double what we spend on national security by 2041, thanks partly to the fact that the rising cost of the debt will squeeze defense spending down from 3 percent of GDP this year to a projected 2.3 percent in 30 years’ time. This decline makes no sense at a time when the threats posed by the new Chinese-led Axis are manifestly growing”

Currency collapses and war are much more important than mean tweets or rhetoric, seriously. On The All In podcast Trump did not go too much into this for my liking, although there’s a lot of grift and global U.S. transfers he said he would cut. What would a Democrat do, has any responsible numerate person even asked?
