So you're telling me that millionaires can now literally buy a trump card? Awesome...
Is that his fucking mugshot?
how is this not the onion is sounds EXACTLY like an onion article even moreso than any other ive ever seen
Why would an immigrant want to come here right now? Trump just sent a bunch of people to El Salvador to rot in prison with no due process. A fancy card wouldn't save them any more than the court order saved Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
The fancy card is just his way of getting the "right types" of people to immigrate to the US.
Aka filthy rich.
It's just another way to bribe him
Question: We have recently seen that the government can and will revoke green cards at will, why would anybody be interested in this knowing that it offers them at best ephemeral protections.
Money guarantees that. You know who doesn't have 5 million bucks? A student studying in USA who might protest against genocide in Gaza. You know who has 5 millions? People like Venesuelan cartel members.
This is just asinine and reeks of similar level of greed as selling bath water to thirsty horny teenagers. It's no fucking different. It's just a gold card with ugly Trump's face for a lot more money.
Belle Delphine is not greedy she's amazing and if I keep giving her money she'll notice me.
You just made me think of Trump bath water and now I hate you immensely.
Well I wasn't think of that BEFORE you posted.....but I am NOW!!!
UGH!!! Now I'm wondering if the bath water washes off his suntan and turns the water orange. YOU DID THIS!!! YOU PUT THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD!!!
burns your house down
No jury would convict me.
And in 1 week time you'll see news with Trump selling his bath water in front of White House lmao
It's not about citizenship, it's about access. They know that it doesn't guarantee citizenship or protection, that's what the rest of their money is for.
US law only applies to poor people.
Does this golden card cover immigrants of color or just Russians?
One of the most worthless human beings to ever walk the earth. What a disaster. First it’s a Tesla yard sale on the White House front lawn and now it’s a monopoly gold card with that ugly Nazis face adorned in it.
Dude is craving attention so much that he needed to put his face on something.
His face should be centred inside of a bullseye.
I mean he’s more like the ancient emperor’s than anything else. I see a Julius Caesar moment coming. I don’t condone it but people are just on the brink of losing everything and there’s going to be a retiree that will have nothing to lose soon.
So no, he isn’t the dumbest. There were quite a lot of them that we know about. He’s just our dumb one. Ugh.
He also said he will be the first to buy one.... Like... what?.....Did he forgot he already has us citizenship?
This is probably why he wants it:
Unlike American citizens, gold card holders will not have to pay taxes to the U.S. government on their overseas income.
Not sure if that applies to us citizens with gold cards though.
There's no way that doesn't apply to him in his own mind. The US is one of only a few countries that double-tax foreign income and the super-wealthy with multinational holdings hate it. $5m to eliminate entire categories of tax? I could see him going through this whole thing just for that single rider.
Though there are also several foreign nationals in his orbit who would greatly benefit from such a program as well...
I'd be curious to know if that's a law, or just another case of Trump Says.
Yes.
Putin does not..
This man is just the manifestation of Cringe
All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
this mf really wants to be the music man lmao this some used car salesman shit
starts with p which rhymes with t and thats TROUBLE
lol, I played in the pit for my high school’s The Music Man show. Brought back some memories.
Well, for 5 million it'll be a hard choice.
But I'll take the money and come over if you want it so much orange man.
dude put his own fucking face on it 🤣
Remember when he delayed the COVID stimulus checks because he wanted his name on them? He has zero shame.
These are the same cards that used to require 1 million in cash and 4 million in small business investment with proven local employees right?
You're thinking the EB-5 visa program, I think. That was the fifth "employment based" visa.
You're sort of right, but your numbers are off. It's $1.8 million in cash, but the real kicker is that you need to sustain those 10+ permanent US employees through your investments. Been a popular program since 1990, about 12,000 folks use it a year lately. It's still a thing, you can apply for one today.
A much better deal than handing $5M to US Government. Just buy or start a restaurant, theoretically returning a fair ROI. But losing less than $5M should be easy.
Having watched kitchen nightmares, it's pretty easy to lose that kinda money on a restaurant too
Ultra high cost of living about to go through the roof higher. Hitler level loyalty oath required to not be harassed, and even campaigners have gotten face eaten by leopard deportation or fired. There are many cheaper places in world to live in, without having to pay as much for access.
You can also buy toilet paper with his face on it
When you're that gross to look at, you'd think he'd want to avoid reminding people that that is what he looks like but no....
Is this the one that includes acces to Trump Gaza?
Of course not, the Fast Ride card is sold separately and it's another couple million.
Why is his mugshot on it
this scammer is taking it up a notch I see...
