24. The gold there is probably the old 80% + purity gold. The new standard is .9999 gold.

France and other countries have pulled their gold from the vaults in NYC and other vaults to have it remelted to the new standard.

So a kilogram gold bar at Ft Knox probably is only 80-90% gold.

After Trumps "inspection", it may be down to junk gold. Maybe 50%.

OR.. Trump seems to favor destruction of U.S. morale, so he may just report that the Roosevelt, Truman, Carter etc stole the gold and that the gold present is only 70% gold and that the Democrats stole the .9999 gold.
