    Anyone have a link to the real story this is based on? This page is practically unintelligible. Are the gold bars metaphorical? What the fuck are they talking about?

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/20/fort-knox-gold-donald-trump-elon-musk/79314407007/

    They’re talking about the gold at Fort Knox.

    “We’re going to go to Fort Knox, the fabled Fort Knox, to make sure the gold is there. If the gold isn’t there, we’re going to be very upset,” Trump said, per a C-SPAN recording.

    Now today’s update is that “gold is missing” (I use quotes because it’s so obviously untrue). And according to Trump it’s the Democrats that took it. Always the democrats. Black female ones too.

    As if politicians need to steal gold bars. They receive that as a gift from Egypt as a bribe maybe, but they don’t steal from Fort Knox. Makes zero sense. They can just trade stocks with insider info like everyone in congress.

      If gold really is missing, the first two places I’d check are Trump’s pockets and the Mar-a-Lago bathrooms next to the classified documents.

        And not even in a cool way with lasers and henchmen in silver jumpsuits.

        What a stupid world.

      Let’s not forget that all their accusations are confessions.
