    So personally, I think the government should have some, but I don’t specifically think selling gold for it is the right idea.

    Everyone seems to be on about how this is just about cashing out his buddies, but what I’m worried about is these dumbfucks won’t know how to properly secure it or won’t properly secure it and itll get easily stolen, or they’ll outright steal it themselves.

    Like they just used signal to talk about bombing Yemen and included a journalist on it…

    So while I think it’s not a bad idea to have some, it’s fucking terrifying that Trump is doing this and can influence it.

      I don’t think the government should have ANY, regardless of how the government purchased the fake assets. It’s a fucking terrible idea for exactly the reason you described. The government should not be involved in such a high risk, unsecured, volatile, ridiculously easily stolen venture.
