First off, yes, I realize that we are not on the Gold Standard. Got it. Understood.
IF Trump walked in and found it to be completely empty, what would he do?
1. Makes the announcement and markets crash.
2. Does not disclose the information.
3. Makes the announcement and the real movers simply shrug because they knew it wasn’t there anyway, while feigning anger.
4.?

Secret grand jury assembles.

It’s a good question.
Let’s first start my determining what does the gold represent in the first place?
As you say - the US is no longer on the gold standard.
It’s not the nation’s wealth.
What IS the purpose of the gold?
Just read it’s worth 435billion.
About what Dems scam through Act Blue in a weekend.

Why would he hide it? I’d assume launch an investigation to look into it further. I doubt it would crash the economy, it would just be another embarrassment for our country.

If it's gone, you'll see a temporary disruption, but it will be a very big one. Our markets have been pretty resilient when it comes to recovery in recent years, though.
Half a trillion dollars (147 million ounces at 3k per oz) would put a dent in the national balance sheet, for sure.

Austin Powers will find goldmember

I may be mistaken, and please correct me if so, but I thought we also stored some other countries gold, as well. If so, I imagine some shite would fly.

What if its more than thought? Would we then use the excess to back Bitcoin?

1)Immediate disclosure
2)Immediate investigation
3)Immediate accountability
Gold would skyrocket, US would lose credibility, dollar would drop significantly, US markets would sell off and most severely in financial sector

I guess that depends on where the missing gold is. If it was slowly placed in circulation it would have increased the supply and should lower the price, now that it’s known. If it was just moved or relocated to other countries, still out of circulation, maybe not.
I’m not a Gold Bug or financial guy, so just spit-balling.

I think the dollar and our stock market would be ok. We're 36T$ in debt so how much would .5T$ more hurt?
Supposedly there's only 23T$ in gold in the world so losing $.5T would spike prices somewhat.

I think it would be a confidence issue. That’s a big lie to have kept going for so long.

The gold is in Fort Knox, but let's pretend for a second it's not. Well the guy has to say something now. He told the world he was gonna go check to see if it was still there.

My math was wrong on gold. We have about 1/40th of amount of gold in the world so it probably wouldn't spike gold too much either
