He didn’t say gold, he said gold backed global currency.

He said what he meant, a global currency. The inference that Americans shouldn’t fear it means he’s acknowledging America won’t control it.

Pretty simple, he’s a globalist. Where’s that in the Constitution? Where in the Constitution does it talk about subordinating America to the world? Seems I remember one section on treason.

See the post above - once you own the gold (certificate), it's yours. Who "controls" it matters as little as who controls your sweater. Look what has come of governments "controlling" fiat currency:

Article I, Section 8, Powers of Congress:

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, ...
To ... regulate the Value ... of foreign Coin, ...
To define and punish ... Offences against the Law of Nations;

Article II, Section 2, Powers of the President:

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;

And then of course, there's George Washington's thoughts on the matter:

Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. ... In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.

So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.

He’s not a globalist, except for the fact that he acknowledges the fact that we live in a global economy.
