how is this not the onion is sounds EXACTLY like an onion article even moreso than any other ive ever seen
Is that his fucking mugshot?
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...
What the fuuuuuuuuck. That's the real story here.
So you're telling me that millionaires can now literally buy a trump card? Awesome...
He did the same thing with the pardons. All parts of America are for sale!!!!
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.
It's just another way to bribe him
The fancy card is just his way of getting the "right types" of people to immigrate to the US.
Aka filthy rich.
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.
US law only applies to poor people.
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.
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
Belle Delphine is not greedy she's amazing and if I keep giving her money she'll notice me.
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.
Officer: Sir, do you have a green card?
Rich brown guy: No, but I have a gold--
Officer: proceeds to beat Rich Brown Guy
Does this golden card cover immigrants of color or just Russians?
