    Even putting aside the more outlandish (not “implausible”, just outlandish) theories about what Trump might be up to here, this is an objectively insane thing for an American president to say. He just announced to the world that ~$700bn of the US cash reserves are stored in a location that is not secure enough to prevent theft. At a time when the US debt to GDP is already skyrocketing and foreign lenders are getting increasingly concerned about America’s ability to make good on their debts. Is he trying to engineer a bond market crisis? Because this is the sort of thing you’d do if you were.

    Well, I’m sure someone is about to at least. Make sure to pat him and his entourage down as they leave.

      Any time he says “People are saying,” … it’s him. He thinks he’s people.

      Seriously, every accusation is a confession with these people. He’s hoping they give him some gold to take home as a souvenir.

        He already thinks that it’s all his, and he’ll want it all.
