Idk why dems don't discredit this as "Desperately importing wealthy foreign elites".
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
“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 overnight; and 6 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.
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.
Yes, he really is that out of touch.
Why not let Americans sell their citizenship for $5m instead.
Now that's an idea! Hell, I'll do it for 3 mil
Best I can do is $7.50 USD and whatever meal you want from Taco Bell
The world is just waiting to pick up well educated americans because they keep electing clowns.
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.
I'd do it in seconds.
Yup, you can live like a king with that money in many other parts of the world.
“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.”
So law and order is just bullshit now right? You buy a gold fucking stupid ass card with dear leader’s picture on it and you get to skip the line? Where is that money going by the way, to Trump or a public fund?
You buy a gold fucking stupid ass card with dear leader’s picture on it and you get to skip the line?
There have been similar (non-literal) golden visas offered all over the world, mainly by poorer EU countries or the various third-tier states that make most of their foreign exchange through money-laundering.
When you're a Russian asset, you sometimes forget to fake being a citizen.
He's not faking being a citizen. He's faking being self-aware. He barely has a clue wtf he's talking about at any given time. That's all.
Residual salesman brain.
Trump: I am awesome, I bought this thing, it is awesome, you will be awesome if you buy it too.
It bears no relationship to ... making any kind of sense, because it is literally a hustle, a psychological manipulation tactic.
He is just saying salesman words, meant to encourage buy in.
Has no relation to reality, the truth, making sense, etc.
... But, it works on rubes, dullard marks, cult members, weak willed / low self esteem people with decent reliability.
These are just more Trump University or Trump Steaks to him.
Demented incompetent salesman brain, or what's left of it.
Yep, this is a distraction from the stock market melt down.
As is his proclamation that April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and then goes on to ONLY talk about trans kids.
Don't give him so much credit. Everything he does is credited as an intentional distraction from whatever it is that he just did.
That would also mean that he had planned everything in detail to fit together. That's beyond his capacities. The recession was obviously unplanned; he's already struggling to keep the whole thing under control. The complexity of human society is overwhelming him.
Yeah, it's pretty tiresome. "This is a distraction!!!!" No, literally everything he does is a horrible mess and he just keeps doing more.
Why would the president of the United States even need to or care about buying his own residency card?
In case he accidentally revokes it, because he’s a senile fucking moron.
To sell it later because he thinks it'll be a collector's item. His only thoughts are ever about making money.
The fuckhead is damned conceited it boggles the mind how anyone can even get near him
When you are a 34 times convicted felon President, they just let you do it.
This is our actual present reality, people. Resist the urge to look away, it will still be there.
Holy fuck.
We’re so fucking cooked.
Country for sale! Buy now!
Is there his ass on the back side of the card?
no, it's on the front
It has his face on it, so it already has an ass on it.
Ah yes, pay $5m to live where other people get deported despite their legal status. Only a fucking moron will get one.
You're just mad trump discovered an infinite money glitch for government revenues. Sell someone a visa for $5 mil, kick them out for no reason because you can, make them pay another $5 mil to come back, rinse and repeat.
The dementia gets more and more apparent
