Trump’s Fort Knox Shock: Is America’s Gold Gone?

Frank Balm Feb 25, 25

Well, folks, we might be looking at the biggest financial scandal in American history.

Over the weekend at CPAC, Trump said something that should send shivers down every investor’s spine:

“Wouldn’t it be terrible if we opened it up and there was no gold there? Don’t be totally surprised if we open the door and say, ‘There’s nothing here, they stole this too!’”

Wait… what?

Trump just casually suggested that America’s gold might not be in Fort Knox at all. And if that’s true, who took it? Where did it go? And—most importantly—what happens when the public finds out?

Does Trump Know Something We Don’t?

For years, people have speculated about whether America’s gold reserves are actually intact. The last official audit of Fort Knox was in 1974—fifty years ago! Since then, we’ve had nothing but half-truths and secrecy.

So why is Trump making a big deal about this before the audit has even begun? Does he already know what they’re going to find? Or maybe he knows what isn’t there?

Then there’s the timing. Over the past year, the U.S. has been flying in hundreds of tons of gold from London and Switzerland. Could it be that Fort Knox was empty, and now they’re scrambling to refill it before the truth comes out?

And let’s not forget what Jim Rickards has been warning about for years—was America’s gold secretly “leased” out to Wall Street? If so, who’s got it now? Is it even recoverable?

So many questions. And almost no answers.

But here’s what we do know: the gold market is on fire.

Gold’s Bull Market Is Just Getting Started

Whether Fort Knox is full or empty, gold’s bull run isn’t stopping.

The fiat system is crumbling. Central banks around the world are hoarding gold like they know something is coming. China, Russia, India—they’re all stacking gold at record levels.

Why?

Because the monetary system as we know it is on borrowed time. The world is losing confidence in the dollar, and when that happens, gold becomes the only thing people trust.

A return to the gold standard—something the mainstream media used to mock—is now actually on the table.

How High Can Gold Go?

Back in 2024, Jim Rickards made a shocking prediction:

If the U.S. returns to a gold standard, gold could hit $27,000 per ounce.

Sounds crazy? Not if you do the math. Here’s how Rickards broke it down:

U.S. M1 money supply: $17.9 trillion
A historically reasonable gold backing ratio: 40%
That means the U.S. would need $7.2 trillion worth of gold
Divide that by America’s “official” gold reserves (261.5 million ounces), and you get… $27,533 per ounce

And here’s the kicker: this isn’t some wild conspiracy theory. This is just math.

What Happens If Fort Knox Is Empty?

A return to the gold standard requires one key thing—actual gold reserves.

If Fort Knox is full, great. But if it’s empty? Then Trump’s about to go on a global treasure hunt to get America’s gold back. And let’s just say… he’s not known for playing nice.

No matter what happens, one thing is clear:

Gold is the only real money left.

If you don’t already own gold and silver, you are running out of time. The system is shifting, and when the dust settles, those holding real money—not paper promises—will be the ones standing.
