Holy fuck, today I heard Trump say, “we’re going to go into Fort Knox and see if someone stole the gold” and without skipping a beat, my brain immediately went to “this guy is literally going to steal gold from Fort Knox.” Because of course he is
Yup. I had the exact same reaction - there’s no way they come out of there and say anything other than “some amount of the gold is missing”
The only question is are they going to follow that up with “and so we’re moving it to the Whitehouse for safekeeping” or are they going to walk out of there with $ print sacks
And the insane part is I can say the first part, and most people will agree. Everyone knows on some level that Trump will “find” any problem he goes looking for, reality be damned.
But say “he’s totally going to steal the gold” and suddenly it’s a bridge to far. He’s a billionaire, why does he need it? That’s absurd, the president wouldn’t rob fort Knox. He’s just auditing for corruption.
And honestly, solid chance a lot of the gold is missing already. But either way, in a few months we’re going to see him using a gold brick as a paperweight and a lot of people will still try to explain it away
