If there’s one thing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump isn’t, it’s understated.

Bloomberg journalists Tim O’Brien and Joe Weisenthal decided to hone in on one of the things Trump is particularly emphatic about: Gold.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.
