Giving him a literal gold bar (though disguised as a stand) is stereotypical buying El Presidente in a Banana Republic bullshit.
I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it's a gold bar 100% lmfao
Cook isn't handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it's 24 karat gold plated zinc.
You might be right. Looks light indeed for true gold.
Sounds like the US' chickens coming home to roost. After creating those conditions with their CIA elsewhere for decades.
