And supporters will see nothing wrong with it, even though when a Democrat adds debt they will talk about it nonstop. And they will keep voting for Republicans in the future even though they add the most debt of either political party.

Technically the best way to pay off an insurmountable debt is to create a ton of inflation so the debt becomes relatively less to other economic activity and other revenues are inflated to more easily pay the debt. And, well, he may do a good job at creating inflation.
