Trump shot himself in the foot with tariff plan if he wants an interest rate cut, Fed minutes show President Trump’s own tariff plan may have stacked the odds against his much-requested cut to the interest rate. According to Fed notes from a meeting ahead of Trump’s tariffs being announced, the threat of such policies was already causing the FOMC to pause. By enacting such policies in the weeks since, the White House may have sealed its own fate. Source: fortune.com Trump Announces He Is Considering Giving 20% of DOGE Savings to Taxpaying Americans – And Slash National Debt Trump revealed on Tuesday that he’s seriously considering a proposal to give 20% to every American taxpayer, funded entirely by the massive savings the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has accumulated. And another 20% of DOGE’s savings could go straight to paying down the federal government’s bloated debt. Fishback explained the idea as follows: Here’s how President Trump’s DOGE Dividend works: DOGE is targeting $2 trillion in total savings. Take 20% of DOGE’s total savings ($400 billion) and return it to the ~79 million U.S. households that will be net payers of federal income tax4 in CY 2025 as a tax-refund check called the “DOGE Dividend.” $400 billion in DOGE-driven savings *divided by* 79 million tax-paying households = $5,000 “DOGE Dividend” check per tax-paying household. Trump: By doing this, Americans will tell us where there’s waste. They’ll be reporting it themselves. They participate in the process of saving money. So many of the men and women in this room, as an example, pay tremendous amounts of taxes.

For the first time in history, global central banks have bought 1,000+ tonnes of gold for 3 consecutive years. Gold is shining. https://twitter.com/DanODonnellShow/status/1892323088924082232 The annual audits referenced by Bessent appear to be seal checks rather than comprehensive physical inventories or assays of the gold. This process stems from a system established after the extensive audits of U.S.-owned gold between 1974 and 1986, when approximately 97% of the gold at Fort Knox and other U.S. Mint facilities was physically verified, weighed, and assayed, then placed under Official Joint Seals (OJS). Here’s how it works: Verification of Joint Seals: Each vault compartment containing Deep Storage gold (the bulk of the reserves at Fort Knox, Denver, and West Point) is sealed with an Official Joint Seal after its contents are audited. These seals are tamper-evident and affixed by a committee typically comprising representatives from the Treasury, the U.S. Mint, and sometimes the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The annual “audit” involves inspecting these seals to ensure they remain intact and unimpaired. If a seal is unbroken, the assumption—per the audit protocol—is that the gold inside hasn’t been disturbed since its last physical verification. No Routine Physical Inventory: Unlike a full audit, which would involve opening vaults, counting every bar, verifying serial numbers, weighing bars, and conducting sample assays for purity, the seal-check process doesn’t require entering the vaults or handling the gold unless a seal is compromised or a vault must be accessed for operational reasons (e.g., moving gold for testing). Historical records indicate that since the 1986 completion of the continuing audits, no comprehensive physical recount of all 147.3 million troy ounces at Fort Knox has been publicly documented. The focus has shifted to maintaining the integrity of the sealed compartments. Spot Checks for Assay: Small samples of gold have been removed periodically during scheduled audits to test purity, as noted by the U.S. Mint. These samples are minimal and don’t involve a full inventory, aligning with the Treasury’s claim that “no gold has been transferred to or from the Depository for many years” except for these tests. Documentation Review: The annual process likely includes reconciling the Mint’s inventory records against the Treasury’s books, ensuring the reported 147.3 million ounces at Fort Knox (valued at the statutory $42.22 per ounce) matches historical data. This is more an accounting exercise than a physical audit. Official Claims vs. Technical Reality Bessent’s statement aligns with claims from the Treasury’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), such as Eric M. Thorson’s 2011 congressional testimony, where he asserted that 100% of the gold in Mint custody has been inventoried and audited, with seals intact as of 2008. The Treasury maintains that the seal checks suffice as an annual audit because the gold remains under “continuous accountability.” Senators like Rand Paul and researchers like Jan Nieuwenhuijs, argue this isn’t a true audit. They point out that seal checks don’t verify the gold’s presence, weight, or purity—only that the vaults haven’t been opened. Missing audit reports (e.g., seven from 1974–1986, per FOIA findings) and the lack of a modern, independent physical tally fuel doubts about whether all gold is truly accounted for. September 23, 1974 Inspection Following public rumors about missing gold, a delegation including Members of Congress and journalists was allowed into Fort Knox. This event, often mischaracterized as an “audit,” was more of a public reassurance tour. According to the U.S. Mint, the group viewed the gold reserves, but no detailed assay or inventory was conducted beyond checking vault seals later by auditors from the General Accounting Office (GAO) and Treasury. August 21, 2017 Visit Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) accompanied Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on a tour of Fort Knox during the first Trump administration. This was not an audit but a symbolic visit, the first opening to non-authorized personnel since 1974. McConnell, as a Senator from Kentucky (where Fort Knox is located), was part of a small group that included other officials and staff. This event confirms 1 Senator (McConnell) with documented access, though no auditing occurred—Mnuchin later tweeted that the gold was still there, suggesting a visual check rather than a formal count. Broader Context and Denials Senators Denied Access: Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has publicly stated (via X in February 2025) that he repeatedly requested access to Fort Knox as part of his oversight duties but was denied, with the explanation that it’s a military installation. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has similarly claimed he’s been trying for a decade to visit, with a planned trip during Trump’s first term falling through. These denials suggest that access for auditing purposes is tightly controlled and not routinely granted, even to Senators. The last comprehensive audit cited by some sources occurred in 1953, with only a 10% spot-check of the gold. No Senators are explicitly noted as participating in that process—it was conducted by Treasury officials. The 1974 event followed, and subsequent “audits” have been internal seal checks by the U.S. Mint, not involving Congressional oversight. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1892422930274881918 TAKE A LISTEN https://twitter.com/KHerriage/status/1892408273179201871 serious structural issues...
