President Trump believes this is his golden opportunity.
The president revealed that he’s still eager to crack open Fort Knox and personally ensure that the nation’s gold reserve — valued at nearly $700 billion — is still in the highly secure bullion depository following an uproar about it last year.
“We wanted to go and knock on the door of Fort Knox — a very thick door — and to see whether or not we have any gold in there,” Trump told “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson” in an interview that dropped Sunday.
Last year, former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) boss Elon Musk reacted to a social media user’s suggestion that he should inspect the country’s gold reserves.
The gold stash in the über-secure Kentucky facility accounts for half of the government’s gold supply.
It’s not fully clear when the facility last went through a comprehensive audit.
“It’s a very interesting question. We played with that. I wonder if they left the gold in Fort Knox, because they steal a lot,” the president mused. “I do want to go to Fort Knox sometime.” …

Why hasn’t he already gone there? Its not lime they can refuse him. 🙄
Then do it. Trump is POTUS.
Sigh. If only he had the power to do stuff ...
If you go, be sure to randomly check the weights of the bricks, sacks, whatever they are using for your visit. I wouldn’t put it past .gov agencies to have raided the place like they did the strategic reserve.
If only half of our gold is there, where is the other half?...........
Because they are currently refilling it
If only half of our gold is there, where is the other half?...........
In a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills.

I’d take that comment more seriously if we were back in the first year of his presidency (2017). But now? It looks like a version of the old Charlie Brown football routine.
The football is an inspection of Fort Knox.
And Charlie Brown is the American citizen.
This is just him playing politics.
There’s no constraint against the President inspecting the gold. He can order an audit any time, it’s one of his responsibilities.
He needs to stop channeling Geraldo and just do it or be quiet about it and stop with the reality tv teasing.
Trump still wants to crack open Fort Knox to personally confirm $700B gold cache has not been stolen
Alleged:
Ft. Knox Full of Impure Gold Unfit for International Transactions (4.28.26)
Some don’t believe the current swamp-draining is an elaborate game of chess.
But this truly is all about moves and countermoves.
President Trump knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. And he knows EXACTLY when to make the next move.
I had completely forgotten about this other addition to the list of broken promises.
This is one of the dumbest urban legends there is.
Send in Geraldo.
What’s he waiting for, someone to put it all back?...
