My other brain just thinks he wants a photo op with the gold, and is taking cronies with him for bragging rights. Or for some quid pro quo
I mean, I'm sure he'll also use the photo op... But there's no way he says all the gold is there. And honestly? It might not be, there was a lot of fuckery in how we transitioned to a fiat currency. But either way, he never falls to say he found a problem
Best scenario? He's going as a distraction. He's kinda been at the kiddie table, they're keeping him busy - he's interviewed or does a press event every day, he's gone to an event every weekend, and he's been going up and back between mar a Lago and the white house like twice a week. He could blame the economy dying on the missing gold instead of DOGE or something...
But one gold bar is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars... They're also quite heavy though. He might not steal them because he would probably hurt himself trying to lift one... There's no way he doesn't consider it though
