Trump is an expert, so he says, but why are so many of his deals so ridiculous and get rejected out of hand?

I get it, Trump wants to get rich. Not the country, but Trump himself.
Got his eyes on the gold in Ft Knox! (Hope they have good security cameras!)
Doesn't matter if the country goes down the gurgler, with everyone living in poverty. Trump just does_not_care!

Anyhow once Trump has megabillions, what will he do with the money? Solid gold coffin?
