Mr. Trump also mentioned the idea in separate remarks at the Governors Association and the Conservative Political Action Conference.“We’re going to Fort Knox, the fabled Fort Knox, to make sure the gold is there. If the gold isn’t there, we’re going to be very upset,” the president told reporters on Air Force One.Mr. Trump has not broached the idea since Feb. 25.</blockquote>
