President Donald Trump has always been obsessed with gold, but recently, it has become installed in the gold -held gold and a right -wing conspiracy theory that gold was stolen in one way or another.
Trump took a time far from his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House on Monday to stir gold stabilization.

“I will invite the cabinet and arrange [House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency] To go and check gold in Fort Nox, “she is Books on x on monday.
But unlike Trump, who appeared to him, was not Fort Nox nor the issue of golden security in the news recently. Why is gold the summit of the mind for the leader of the United States and Acolytes?
this time , Source The installation seems to be billionaire in Trump and co -chairman Elon Musk. Two weeks ago, account Conspiracy theory site Zero Hedge put a mark on musk and asked him to “take a look inside the Fort Nox only to make sure that there are 4,580 tons of our gold.” The account was falsely claimed that “the last time it was seen by 50 years ago in 1974.”
Musk confirmed that he believed that gold was reviewed every year, and Zero Ended said this was not the case. In response to Musk, Republican Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky – from former deputy Ron Paul from Texas, a conspiracy perspective racist–Call Investigate gold supplies.
These assurances are very ridiculous in light of the fact that Stephen Mnuchin, who was then Treasury minister in TrumpHe visited Fort Nox and took pictures of gold bars in August 2017. They were not alone on that trip. Join Was the American treasurer, Jovita Caranza and a group of Republicans in Kentucky, including Senator Mitch McConnell at the time? Matt Beven, and MP Brett Gutry.
However, after the “golden” exchange between Musk and the conspiracy site, this topic was raised again and again on Fox News and Fox Business, through multiple programs such as “The Five”, “Jesse Watters Primetime” and “Gutfeld!” , “The Ingraham Angle”, and others, according to the Daily KOS research on TVEYES, a database of TVEAL and Radio online.

But the plots about gold precede Trump’s time in the leadership of the Republican Party. For example, in 2011, when he represented Texas at home, Ron Paul mentioned above Proposal The gold bars in the fort were fake and that they are just gold -plated metal bars.
Conservatives have enjoyed all kinds of dreams carried about gold supply since America (and a lot of the rest of the world) Go out The gold standard in 1971.
These plots also led to a profitable market in Declaration of fear and fraud Based on the conviction of the conservatives of “investment” in gold, which is announced as a stable-special commodity if their nightmare is from a left-wing world that controls it. Many conservative media are supported by right -wing radio to television such as Fox News and NewsMax, with a gold -related advertisement.
The ideal expression of all this was reflected in the fraud that was discovered earlier this month in which Trump’s fans were They are persuaded To put their money in a golden fraud, it was filmed via Trump’s photos created by artificial intelligence.
