Could Trump become the new GOLDFINGER if he wanted to?

With all this talk of pre-indictment pardons, could Trump theoretically rob Ft. Knox (or wherever the most gold is kept now) and then pardon himself and any of his team that got caught/involved with it? (I assume it's a Federal crime, not a state crime).

Who would stop him?

And do we know he hasn't done it already?

4. Somehow I can't imagine Il Douche just strolling into Fort Knox

and helping himself to a bunch of gold ingots. Even a president isn't going to get away with something like that, any more than he could get away with robbing a bank or knocking off a convenience store. It now appears that a sitting president can be indicted after all for crimes committed while president, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/22/us/politics/can-president-be-indicted-kenneth-starr-memo.html , and anyhow who needs Fort Knox gold when you have laundered Russian money?

And there's also the fact that gold is very heavy, and he wouldn't be able to carry much of it out with his tiny hands or in his little golf cart.
