Not sure what he thinks he is going to check on. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago (2 children) He's going to steal it. Saying "they steal a lot" is starting the narrative to cover his own theft. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 7 points 3 months ago (1 child) People are always the most suspicious of the behavior they are most capable of. A cheater thinks everyone is cheating on them, a thief thinks everyone is stealing from them. They rationalize to themselves that they are only stealing because everyone else is doing it, so they need to do it, too, just to keep it even. He wants to see the gold, because he wants to steal it himself. I guarantee that he's going to determine that the security of the gold is lacking, so HE will take possession of it for good keeping. It will be safer with him. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago The bathroom at Mar-a-Lago is more secure than Fort Knox permalink fedilink source parent [–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago This motherfucker has that scheme to have everyone in the United States give him money, and continue to give him money, via their cryptocrime/stablecoin. If he can steal gold on top of that and no one has the balls to stop him, he'll do it. The guy has already enriched himself and his family to the tune of BILLIONS just in the 15 months he's been in office. No way anyone "earns" that kind of money legitimately, and certainly not in that kind of timeframe. permalink fedilink source parent
