It's okay - if Trump gets his way then it solidifies the concept that any American president is a total dictator and can do whatever he wants with complete immunity which means Biden could kidnap Trump or even more extreme than that and have no liability whatsoever

Trump was the worst fascist Russian asset con man grifter lying thief of a president in USA's history. He told his family and friends that Hitler had the best strategies which he completely adopted 1) discredit the media & 2) get everyone angry at each other and then you can control half the population. If he managed to steal the 2024 election because all 3 branches of government were kissing his Mafia Don ring, then 4 years later, Putin's $multi-million payment to Cambridge analytica, so his favorite money launderer Donald could win would probably would see the end of NATO & Trump incarcerating brown people and possibly handing them over to his klu Klux Klan and white power army to murder. They probably would not have used ovens for the optics.

My understanding is that Thailand does not want to have its gold measured by international standards most other countries abide by (TIT) so if you try to sell it outside Thailand, it will be greatly discounted

Unfortunately foreigners, because of English skills & work ethic, are often a better value than the equivalent Thai workers in these particular jobs. The Thai government recognizes this and has been trying to encourage Thai people to become competitive. It takes hard work but some Thai people do it.
