Citibank Anti-Gold Report: “Gold – A Six Thousand Year Old Bubble”. “Gold is an asset equivalent to a shiny Bitcoin.” “Bank issued digital and paper currencies are “socially superior” to gold and Bitcoin as currencies and assets… there is no financial or economic case for any central bank to hold either gold or Bitcoin.”

.@daveweigel of the Washington Post just admitted that his picture was a FAKE (fraud?) showing an almost empty arena last night for my speech in Pensacola when, in fact, he knew the arena was packed (as shown also on T.V.). FAKE NEWS, he should be fired.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 9, 2017
.@DaveWeigel @WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in. Real photos now shown as I spoke.
