Gold and other rare and precious commodities are best viewed as insurance policies against major collapse of that shared illusion. Don't take my word for it:
Only 20 concussions so you know he's on top of it.

“If Trump were to audit Fort Knox and find there is no gold in the safe, gold prices would soar.”
It wouldn’t have any effect at all.
There hasn’t been any connection between the dollar and Treasury gold since August 1971, when Nixon ended the Bretton Woods agreement and closed the gold window.
The US gold supply ceased to have any importance when dollars could no longer be turned in to the Treasury in exchange for gold.
In contrast the US oil reserve, uranium supply, and rare earth’s supply have very real importance.
Childish impatience is becoming the modus operandi of current crew.
“Childish impatience is becoming the modus operandi of current crew.”
Every day since the 29024 election has been a day of winning.
But whiners got to whine.

The dollar is backed by US.... (uzz)....we. 👀
I agree, lying doesn’t help the people in a republic make good decisions about representation. When I explore the options about Fort Knox, none of them that lead to an audit and revealing what’s actually there helps America or Americans. Trump may not have understood this before, but I suspect someone explained it from a national security perspective now. I would rather he just do the right thing, and I don’t have the information to know when it comes to Fort Knox what that is.
