    I would highly recommend you go to almost any other country than this one right now.

    Many countries do this to bring in wealthy investors. In those countries there are requirements to invest in local economy, not sure about this one.

    The wealthy use these to travel every couple of month, allowing them to skip residency taxes by never being anywhere long enough.

    However a US one is just dumb, because US tax laws are one of the only ones that will tax you, as a resident, when you are not in the US. So the types of people who typically buy these won’t go near it.

      Half the shit he’s done has required congressional authority.

      Congress is full of fascist shit lickers and is fully complicit in all of these violations to the constitution. They could have impeached him weeks ago for setting up DOGE or enacting tariffs without congressional approval, instead they sit back and act like they can do nothing.

      It doesn’t work.

      The right would celebrate that it was ‘triggering teh libs’.

      You can’t beat someone who is only playing to get a rise out of you.

        Sure you can. When Trump breaks them and makes them poor, they’ll have to stop trolling and get serious. A ton of them are starting to wise up and pressure their congressional representatives to do something.

          Nope.

          You vastly underestimate their hate.

          When they’re broken, he’ll let them loose on the browns who get all the blame.

          Exactly the same as happened during the first great depression.

            Sure but they’ll stop trying to be silly and get more serious (albeit hateful).

            As Chris Rock said, if a homeless guy has a funny sign, he hasn’t been homeless for long.

              The analogy is apt, we are the guy with a job walking by in a suit, they are coming down from meth, desperate for their next fix, and they’re pulling out their knife.

              Last time they went on a redneck rampage we lost 600k good Americans.

    This is our actual present reality, people. Resist the urge to look away, it will still be there.

    Holy fuck.

    I really want to setup a museum of all the crazy crap Trump has sold, or put his name on. Steaks, sneakers, diplomas, deeds to apartments in his buildings, those stimulus checks with his fake signature on them, everything.

    It would be crazy to see it all next to each other. Along with how much he made or lost. It’ll be the most perfect museum in the country. Some say even the world maybe.

    At this point, you’d have to be badly mentally challenged if you’re willing to pay to live in U.S

      If they are really rich, the US is an amazing place to live and 5m is nothing to them. If one has to save up for that card, it’s a shitty deal.

    This is another grift to add to his portfolio of products. For example Trump Steak, Trump Phone, Trump University, Trump Coin, Trump shoes and so on. He never puts his name or face on something unless he knows he has a way to make a ton of money off it by screwing someone over and get away with it. He also doesn’t have to borrow money from banks anymore because the United States assumes the risk.

    Remember that billionaires never spend their own money. Trump always drops a chaff grenade for the media when he is getting ready to do something really stupid using the public’s money. This is one of those moments. So the question is not, “Who is going to buy this?” the question is “What is he about to grift next using tax dollars?”

    Every time stuff like this happens … it doesn’t change how people feel about Turnip

    Every time stuff like this happens … I think about how stupid the American people are. They have a clown for a leader, running the country like a circus for sale and they put up with it every time.
