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.
Doesn’t this need an act of Congress to enact?
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.
He’ll be a scammer till the day he dies.
like father like son, and his grandfather.
Idk why dems don’t discredit this as “Desperately importing wealthy foreign elites”.
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.
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?”
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.
Who keeps the $5m per wealthy immigrant? If it’s Trump himself, isn’t that very very illegal?
I’d imagine the government but Trump will take credit for it and use it to justify spending more of its money at his resorts
The guy sold beans from the oval office, he’s selling tesslers and golden shoes. This isn’t even close to the weirdest thing he did.
“sale of 1,000 Gold Cards this week, raising $5 billion in a single day.”
Good for you, even if the number is true (it is not) and these keep saleing (it won’t), we just need a year and a half to make back the 2.5 trillion stock market lost in a week.
Yes, he really is that out of touch.
When you are a 34 times convicted felon President, they just let you do it.
Grab 'em by the economy
The fuckhead is damned conceited it boggles the mind how anyone can even get near him
Especially with how he reportedly smells
Wasn’t it $1 million a week ago?
That was before the tariffs lol
And when you buy one you get a complimentary membership to Trump steaks. Trump steaks, when you want to eat ass without actually eating ass.
Why not let Americans sell their citizenship for $5m instead.
Now that’s an idea! Hell, I’ll do it for 3 mil
How about 3 fiddy?
Best I can do is $7.50 USD and whatever meal you want from Taco Bell
That’s higher than federal minimum wage! You generous bastard 😄
The world is just waiting to pick up well educated americans because they keep electing clowns.
I’d do it in seconds.
Yup, you can live like a king with that money in many other parts of the world.
That’s some capitalism I can get behind! Free the citizenship market!
There should be fair competition in the market the government should not be the only one that can sell citizenships. Or at least we should be allowed to sell it back to the government for $5 million who can then sell to someone else.
They should have to pay me $5m to own a card featuring his ugly mug
