‘I want to find out’: Trump says he is going to personally inspect the gold at Fort Knox

[Deplorable Yankee]

Well now, this is serious stuff. A lot of armed soldiers at Fort Knox who need to be vetted.

Why are Senators not allowed to get into Fort Knox? So yeah, there could be some danger in announcing this.

President Trump said Thursday that he personally plans to travel to the Fort Knox military base in Kentucky to find out whether all of the nation’s gold reserves are still there.​

​

“I want to find out,” Mr. Trump said. “So we’re going to open up the doors. I’m going to see if we have gold there. We want to find, did anyone steal the gold at Fort Knox?”​

​

“We want to make sure that we actually have, you know, 400 tons of gold for whatever the hell it is. It’s a lot of gold. I don’t want to open it, and the cupboards are bare. Could happen,” he added.​

​

Mr. Trump’s remarks came during a speech before the Governors Association in Washington. ​

​

The Department of Government Efficiency, led by billionaire Elon Musk, in recent days has set its sight on Fort Knox, saying the U.S. should conduct an annual audit to determine the amount of gold there. ​

​

More than 147.4 million ounces of gold is stored at the Fort Knox depository, more than any other base in the country, according to data from the U.S. Mint. ​

​

All told, the U.S. owns 8,133.46 metric tons of gold, or almost 287 million ounces, according to the World Gold Council, more than any other nation in the world.​

​

The last reported audit at the Fort Knox reserve took place in September 1974 when several members of Congress assured Americans that the gold supply was intact, according to the Mint. President Ford also allowed a group of journalists to attend to verify the audit.​

Right I was just looking for a direct quote from TRUMP.

 

[dudmuck]

Democrats are shaking in their shoes now.

 

[22lcidw]

Total waste of taxpayer money. DOGE needs to put a stop to it.

The administration is already talking about sending checks out to taxpayers.

 

[d0gbreath]

Let him in there, then slam and lock the vault. He can eat gold.

 

[TimFitz]

Trump should ask 007!

After that, he needs to get busy finding out who is really buried in Grant’s Tomb.

 

[TimFitz]

Democrats are shaking in their shoes now.

We’re laughing our asses off!

Wasn't this a Bond movie?

 

[skye]

it just dissolved you know? yup

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Joe Biden took most of the gold bars out, gave it to his family and the pardoned everyone in his family

There are no soldiers guarding the gold at Fort Knox. In fact, there are no combat troops assigned at that post. The gold is guarded by the Treasury Department US Mint Police. I worked at that post for 5 years.

The base is headquarters for the Army's Human Resources Command, Army Recruiting, and Army cadet command supervising officer training and JROTC.

Did you see the gold stored there?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Did you see the gold stored there?

I saw in the video when I was a kid on the local news when they went in at the request of KY's junior Senator. Two Mint guards came and did a presentation for my class when I was teaching at the Fort Knox high school in 2006-7. They said it was there! One of my friends from our MOUT site staff became a guard there later.

Here's an article I found:

Last audit of Fort Knox was in 1974? Are U.S. gold reserves still there?

Is all the gold in Fort Knox really there? The gold stash at the Kentucky base was last audited on Sept. 23, 1974. Whethe...

They all got killed by Auric Goldfinger back in the ‘60s.

Apparently, the gold reserve in New York contains more gold than Fort Knox.

 

[daveman]

I did some reading and discovered the vault is only about 60' x 40' but 2 stories high. If you're allowed to say, how do they stack the gold?

Very carefully.

 

[daveman]

Right. A billionaire is desperate for more money.

Do you people ever think?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Apparently, the gold reserve in New York contains more gold than Fort Knox.

Who cares?

I saw a newsreel a long long time ago where a bad outlaw tunneled into the vault at fort Knox and was stopped just in time before he stole it all. I think his name was Yosemite Sam.
