President Donald Trump wants someone to go count the gold at Fort Knox. On May 31, Trump posted an image to Truth Social reading "Time to Physically Audit Fort Knox." It was attached to a New York Post story headlined "Former CIA official arrested after feds find $40M worth of gold bars stashed at his home." The post drew more than 10,000 likes....

Don't settle for anything less than a full assay audit, and the paperwork showing all our Gold leasing trail. Keep in mind since last January, the U.S. Customs has documented 2,000 plus tons have been IMPORTED into the US almost every month.
I imagine they have now replenished what we did not have.
Who is issuing gold bonds? There is nothing I can find that says the US is anywhere near being able to (or willing to) to that.
Maybe, my fear is if the truth becomes known it will cause an economic meltdown.
Doesn’t Treasury have four or so repository sites?
A physical ‘audit’ should include a purity and weight check, not just a physical count............
You men besides Bob Menendez’s closet?..............
What’s the big hold up? All Trump has to do is tell Scott Bessent to send the auditors.

The gold stored there belongs to the “US government”....... that is to say .........we, the people.
There are at least a couple of Freepers who have posted a belief that Ft Knox is regularly audited and always passes with flying colors.
I hold different views.
This needs to go beyond a one-time check. We conduct a census on April 1 every ten years, on a year ending in zero.
We should likewise have a law that says in the five-year interims between each census, on April 1, the government is responsible for publicly providing a complete, physical audit of all repositories under the authority of the United States government. So that means between the years 2021 and 2025, for example, audits must be taken and a report completed, filed, and released by April 1, 2025.
Given the current situation, the first audit period should be now until 2030, and the first report on April 1, 2030. Going forward, the cadence begins in 2035 for the above.
If I’m a tax-paying citizen of the United States, then I believe I have a God-given right to know exactly what’s in the storehouse.
I know there is a decent amount kept at the mint at West Point. That is where most of the Gold bullion coins are minted. I think that gold is purchased on the free market, and is not counted as part of the gold reserves. At least not long term reserves. The same would be true of the silver used to make bullion coins at the other mints around the country.
Better now than later...
Probably the first thing Thune & Co warned Trump about last year, when the subject came up. Now Trump finally realizes Senate opinions are driven by self-interest rather than "the good of the country", so this might actually happen.
Maybe we'll see Bessent personally leading the Fort Knox raid with an automatic rifle in hand. :)
“Calls for” is not the same as “Orders”.
According to the government, Fort Knox undergoes internal audits conducted annually by the U.S. Treasury, which maintains that all gold is “present and accounted for”.
However, it has not undergone a full, independent physical audit in over 70 years, with the last major inspection taking place in 1974.——— GOVMINT
Fort Knox ‘s Last comprehensive, public audit took place in 1953.
Internal audits should be done on a continual basis like daily.
“my fear is if the truth becomes known it will cause an economic meltdown.”
Look! A UAP and a gray man!
It ain’t happening. At least not a public release.
Bad things happen to people who want to audit Ft. Knox.
