You can take back the 80 trillion dollars we have given to .1% since the 1960s. We can just take it back.
If that's too much for you then you could implement Medicare for all which according to the Congressional budget office would save half a trillion dollars a year and plow those savings into the national debt. Focused on the debt we are overseas and eliminate the Trump tax cuts for the extremely wealthy, keeping the tax cuts that you yourself got, and again the debt gets paid off.

"If Donald Trump doesn't get a third term then we're going to have a democrat in the White House and deficits will matter again as will the debt..."
A real optimist, huh? It's cute that you think there will be "terms" in the future. Donald Trump will not leave office, he will be forcibly removed or will die in office, there is no matter of a "third term", they are feeling that out but just canceling elections is easier to achieve.

The funny thing is the Democrats were in a position to prevent that voter suppression they just didn't.
Democrats don't like wielding power. They prefer the run committee hearings and meetings and be general administrators. So they have a tough time dealing with actual fascists. Voters in general have a tough time dealing with fascism because nobody believes it.
That said I think it's safe to say Gavin newsom is the current leader of the Democrat party and he is ambitious and wants to be president and knows that if Trump wins the third term that's it he doesn't get a chance. So I think we will finally see some real fighting here if only for the sake of his ambition. Similar to what both Clinton and Obama did.
One of the major problems we have with the Democrat is that Hillary Clinton actively undermined the party in order to clear the way for her to run. The party still has not fully recovered but it has recovered some.
So there will be an election and the Republican party will cheat using classic voter suppression tactics but that might not be enough for Trump to win.
And of course he's on some pretty heavy duty Alzheimer's drugs, the kind you don't go on unless you are on the way out the door. The media will try to cover that up but it remains to be seen whether they can.
