13. 'Trump's talking about auditing Fort Knox. It might be a $750 billion maneuver.'

"'We're going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there,' he said in response to a question about possible Pentagon cuts. 'We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox, the fabled Fort Knox, but we're going to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is still there,' he said...'If the gold isn't there we're going to be very upset,' said Trump."

"Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told a radio talk-show host that it's audited every year. 'All the gold is present and accounted for,' he said....So is there any other reason Trump might be asking?"

"Another...audit of Fort Knox could lead to Treasury doing something dramatic - revaluing its gold holdings. Right now they're on the book for $42 an ounce, as gold (GC00) is trading at a record high, near $3,000 per ounce....If Treasury were to do so, all of a sudden the Treasury would have hundreds of billions of dollars - $750 billion, by one estimate - at the touch of a keystroke....Treasury did this maneuver before, back in 1972, giving it another $800 million to play with."

14. How big a souvenir is he planning on being "gifted" ?

15. Anything to get out of work at the WH. Golfing four times last week, the Super Bowl trip, the Daytona 500 race...

now Fort Knox. At lease gold is so heavy and bulky he and his minions can't sneak any out like they did the MAL documents.

16. Gold Rush Trump Edition

17. Idiot

Most of the Gold Reserve is at the Federal Treasury in NYC. Not Knox. He should have watched Die Hard 3 instead of Goldfinger.

18. Last heard he said its buried in a mountain

It sounds like Treasury will do a revaluation of the gold at todays prices.
