Hasn't Trump recently said the national debt may not be as high as reported?

I wondered about that and went looking. I found this in the 14th amendment:

"Section 4

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void."

Trump has also previously said the real insurrection happened on election day 2020!

Are we about to see the national debt decrease by trillions of dollars?
