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.

“Who is the first buyer?” one of the reporters asked.

“Me,” Trump quipped. 

“The second?” the reporter pushed on. 

“I don’t know, but I’m the first buyer. It’ll be out in ... less than two weeks. Pretty exciting, right?” the president asked.

First of all, why would he be the first buyer of an express residency card when he’s already a citizen? Fucking moron.

Second, “it’s happening in two weeks” is Trumpspeak for “it’s literally never going to happen.”

Country for sale! Buy now!

Why not let Americans sell their citizenship for $5m instead.

Is there his ass on the back side of the card?

I think people with 5mil could probably get in a lot cheaper.

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

Holy fuck.

He'll be a scammer till the day he dies.

Ah yes, pay $5m to live where other people get deported despite their legal status. Only a fucking moron will get one.

Idk why dems don't discredit this as "Desperately importing wealthy foreign elites".

The dementia gets more and more apparent

“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 selling (they won't), we just need a year and a half to make back the 2.5 trillion stock market lost overnight; and 6 whole years to make back 11 trillion lost since he took the office.

BTW, I cannot it has only been less than 3 month. Feels like years have passed.

Looks like monopoly money.

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

Ew

Why would anyone with that much money want to come here permanently, and get the IRS all up in their business? The US is the only large country that taxes its citizens on their worldwide income (edit: regardless of residency status)

Yes, I know Republicans are always interested in reducing taxes on the rich, but right now these hypothetical rich people who want to come here have zero tax liability. All that $5m does is subject them to intrusive questions about where they are making their money every year when they file taxes.

Yes, he really is that out of touch.
