“A Deep State president would want to hide that. But why would Trump?”
*********
Bear in mind that Trump never revealed what he knows about the drone activity last November. All we got from the WH was a statement that it was some kind of “research”, which could cover practically anything. This was a violation of his promise, and actually kind of an insult to the people who support him. Whatever the explanation was, we can handle it.
Not saying Trump’s a deep stater, just that there’s still excessive secrecy going on.
“ A Deep State president would want to hide that. But why would Trump?”
Because there are a million other priorities that need to be taken care of.

Thanks for the response. But I don’t think it’s a good enough reason. An audit of Fort Knox would not be a major national effort. It would be a relatively small thing, easily delegated to a competent minor official.
Something else has to be going on here.
Check what again?
No audit since the 1950s. There’s no reason to open the vaults otherwise.
“Check what again?”
“Only one has been opened since the 1950s, and that was in 1974.”
“It would be a relatively small thing, easily delegated to a competent minor official.
Something else has to be going on here.”
You keep repeating that false premise to support your conspiracy ...
Maybe should check those banks first.
I don’t think whatever’s going on at Fort Knox is necessarily a conspiracy. I’m not in the camp that thinks the gold was transferred to the Bilderberg Group, or whatever.
I trust Trump. If he has good reason not to conduct an audit, okay. But it would be nice if we were given some explanation. We don’t need to know where our nuclear submarines are. But we should know how much gold our country has. It’s a free country, after all.
“I trust Trump. If he has good reason not to conduct an audit, okay”
He has been in office for a few months.
“But we should know how much gold our country has.”
We know, unless there is a conspiracy.
Nice! A great song, too.
Not sure Bank in Beverly hills but definitely in someone else name
We’ll know that’s about to happen when Pelosi converts all her holdings to gold.
Yeah, Federal spending is a nightmare, isn’t it.
GREAT SONG
GREAT GROUP
GREAT HARMONY
What I do know is that resetting the US dollar to a much higher gold value has potential negative consequences.
Specifically, the US dollar has lost value in the world market recently. My foreign stocks have “gone up in value” mostly because they are based on their foreign currency market values.
While one might think that increasing the value of the dollar would be a good thing, it would make US exports more expensive for foreigners to purchase. That would hurt US sales and domestic employment.
When you look at the trends, you see Trump is pushing very hard to reduce tariffs imposed on US exported good to help our national economy and jobs. He is also pushing hard for foreign companies to move manufacturing to the USA and for the USA to become more “self sufficient” in the products manufactured in the USA.
Finally, a fact that will help mitigate negative consequences of a US dollar to gold price reset, is the mad rush to crypto currencies replacing gold as the world reserve currency.
What I do know is that the future is unclear and there are lots of trends that could benefit or harm the US economy in relationship to the amount (and value) of gold that backs the US dollar.

China is bragging about having 25,000 TONS of gold. Why that’s important, I don’t know, but why shouldn’t Americans know how much they own?
ROFLMAO!
“An audit of Fort Knox would not be a major national effort.”
Probably. But the optics of doing something like this, which I believe needs to happen, would drive the Democrats and the Media (but I digress) into a frenzy, probably accusing Trump and Republicans for looting the treasury. Trump can always issue an executive order for the CBO to conduct the audit annually.
