Trump gonna steal gold now.
Did his sons just visit Fort Knox?
Klutzo and Snort would end up trapped by a door that opens outward, not inward.
"I want to see if the gold is there, which I’m sure it will be.”
Just more of the same 24/7 bullshit.
He’s looking for any excuse to get in there so he can walk out with some of the gold.
Fuck knows what he’ll do with it, given his obsession with that precious metal. Shave bits off and put it on his hamberders; melt it and create a gold crown with built-in toupee; create yet another fucking statue to himself or another gold toilet to shit in; store it in his Mar A Lago bathroom like it’s some sort of classified info; use it for his stupid ball room; jizz all over it.
Considering that the average gold bar used by banks is around 12kg, he’s going to need someone to help him to carry those out.
Yes, but if he can get in he might be able to just DOGE it.
To be fair I want to see someone steal gold bars. I think it would be hilarious to see someone trying to drag a bag with ten bars in it, torn between not wanting to leave any of it behind and not being able to get the bag to move.
Hey, maybe he’s finally found a use for Eric!
A golden crown, you say?
What is that from?
Game of Thrones
Anyone who’s ever seen molten gold knows that this is an incredibly bad representation. It glows bright yellow/orange. It doesn’t look like the gold paint they’re pouring here.
Not the point 🥲
This was probably an artistic choice to make it look like gold rather than any molten metal to the average watcher.
No, he will follow the pattern of buying calls on gold beforehand, then detonating a nuke in Ft. Knox so the gold supply is irradiated, making the value of his gold skyrocket.
This was in a movie once. I think it was called “The President That Couldn’t Slow Down”
He’ll want to hold an event at Mar-a-lago with a giant stack of gold. Then the stack disappears. The Supreme Court then says that since he stole it as the president it is legal.
That ballroom isn’t going to tacky itself up.
I hope he drinks it.
I’m sure they do because I do
You think he cannot be any more brazen and greedy. And then he does.

He wants to swim in the ingots like Scrooge McDuck! “Splash me boys!”…“with pleasure!”
…I mean, if he wants to try jumping into a giant pit of gold Scrooge McDuck style I’m fully in favor of him giving it a go.
Exactly! C’mon! And if he wants a splash, there’s plenty who would jump at the idea of a bucket full of gold bricks and a chance to splash with it. I’m sure. For a friend. Not me, I’m not like that.
It’s not difficult, just takes a little preparation beforehand.
Make sure to include the diving board.
Another sympom of a rotten brain.
The most transparent example of projection yet?
Even putting aside the more outlandish (not “implausible”, just outlandish) theories about what Trump might be up to here, this is an objectively insane thing for an American president to say. He just announced to the world that ~$700bn of the US cash reserves are stored in a location that is not secure enough to prevent theft. At a time when the US debt to GDP is already skyrocketing and foreign lenders are getting increasingly concerned about America’s ability to make good on their debts. Is he trying to engineer a bond market crisis? Because this is the sort of thing you’d do if you were.
Not just US Bullion, other countries store their bullion there too. I believe France already removed it’s holdings or was in the process of
IIRC they sold it in situ and bought gold at home from the proceeds, so that they didn’t have to call the US bluff.
Thanks for the clarification. I hadn’t followed up on whether it was in progress or not. Much appreciated
Yeah my source is a Lemmy comment so take that as you will
He does this all the time
He sells a bunch of stuff, crashes the market, then he buys a bunch of it back super cheap. Then, he announces something that makes the price stabilize, and he sells. Repeat.
It’s how he used the presidency to jump from millionaire to billionaire
Not to forget about the crypto scams, presidential merchandise, obvious corruption, polymarket bullshit… to name only a handful.
Bribes. Don’t forget the straight up BRIBES.
Imagine if you were trying to take down the US. All you would need to do is whisper the right things in his ear. But I’m sure that’s not what’s happening.
Imagine if you were trying to take down the US, and you decided to do anything at all differently from what he has done. The shame of the inefficiency would be too much.
Imagine if you’d raped a bunch of children and you were running out of ways to distract the world from the distractions you’d already tried. Crashing the whole world economy makes sense in the “if I can’t have it, nobody can” toddler brain that he’s working with at this point.
It’s not about theft but “creative” accounting to multiply the reserves on paper. This should never be done on the gold reserves, but history have seen bigger scams than that.
Fort Knox
Looks inside
„I O U $700bn“
I called this out during the DOGE days. Elon was tweeting about it, and I was like watch, they’re gonna “audit” it and find it’s magically all gone
All that gold sitting around without a ballroom, anything could happen!
The doddering donald couldn’t find his own ass with two hands and a flashlight. Not sure what he thinks he is going to check on.
He’s going to steal it. Saying “they steal a lot” is starting the narrative to cover his own theft.
This motherfucker has that scheme to have everyone in the United States give him money, and continue to give him money, via their cryptocrime/stablecoin.
If he can steal gold on top of that and no one has the balls to stop him, he’ll do it.
The guy has already enriched himself and his family to the tune of BILLIONS just in the 15 months he’s been in office. No way anyone “earns” that kind of money legitimately, and certainly not in that kind of timeframe.
People are always the most suspicious of the behavior they are most capable of. A cheater thinks everyone is cheating on them, a thief thinks everyone is stealing from them. They rationalize to themselves that they are only stealing because everyone else is doing it, so they need to do it, too, just to keep it even.
He wants to see the gold, because he wants to steal it himself. I guarantee that he’s going to determine that the security of the gold is lacking, so HE will take possession of it for good keeping. It will be safer with him.
The bathroom at Mar-a-Lago is more secure than Fort Knox
"We have found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud so far, and we’ve just started,” Trump said
He meant to say “We have done hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud so far”
They
(((They)))
He wants to know how much he can steal, or/and use to gild everything he’s going to remodel at mar a lago and the White House.
Any time he says “People are saying,” … it’s him. He thinks he’s people.
Seriously, every accusation is a confession with these people. He’s hoping they give him some gold to take home as a souvenir.
He’s hoping they give him some gold to take home as a souvenir.
He already thinks that it’s all his, and he’ll want it all.
