Confused Trump, 79, Nearly Forgets What He Said About Hidden Gold

Donald Trump was briefly speechless when asked about his repeated vows last year to inspect the gold at Fort Knox as part of his supposed fight against fraud and corruption.

The 79-year-old president appeared on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson Sunday, and was questioned about his dream of frisking the Kentucky site based on a decades-old conspiracy theory that the gold reserves within have been spirited away.

Asked what happened with his planned audit of Fort Knox, Trump looked into the distance for a while before pouting and asking: “Which one are you talking about?”

Attkisson offered a gentle reminder: “There was, I think, when you first got into office you and Elon Musk talked about auditing the gold to make sure it’s there.”

This remind of the Vegas dealer in the old days when they used silver chips who was caught stealing when he couldn't walk fro the table because his boots were loaded with silver dollars.
