Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump knows absolutely nothing about economic security. This is not news. In the private sector he declared bankruptcy four times, including an Atlantic City casino, which is nearly impossible. He failed at every business venture in his 79 years and was “bailed out” by Russia and the Saudi Royal Family.

His next plan is to use 200-400 million dollars to construct a ballroom inside the White House. Is this really important in a nation which is bleeding money as fast as Trump can waste it? Trump is seldom in the “People’s House.” Most of his time is spent golfing or partyin...
