Trump Says Will Sell 'Gold' Residency Permits For $5 Million

[turmpy]

Ok so trumpcard.gov official goldcard site is now live . You can sign up and join the waiting list with the other mentally challenged individuals so get your $5m ready now.

P.S I can imagine he will accept crypto as he has enough crypto folk in his ear to maybe make it happen.

What Trump is doing is outrageous and completely unprecedented.
He's lining his own pockets and taking his wealth to the next level through all the business he's conducting while serving as president. It's honestly a clever way to enrich yourself, getting elected and using the position for personal gain.

A dictator is a dictator, no matter how you dress it up.

If the requirement is a real investment, like putting money into funds or government projects, then I think a lot of people would apply. But if it’s just a donation, I doubt they’ll find thousands of people willing to hand over $5 million just to get residency or citizenship.

Yup that's the whole point of becoming a US president. The US public voted for man they knew to be a liar, misogynist, bankrupt (companies he ran) and a convicted criminal. They knew what they were getting when they let him look after the country. No different to letting a known sex offender look after your kids. Problem is no one can stand up to him except China.

It's gonna be a flop but he can spin anything into a win. He will come out and say BS like "over 5 million people applied for the gold card to live our beautiful country, but we can't take them all, we can't take them all. Only the good ones we can take so we have weeded it down to.......1 person so far. This is a win for the American people and a win for reducing our $36trn debt."

You have him figured out so well. You know his every move and statements too

He loves gold... he's launching a mobile plan and a phone too

https://www.trumpmobile.com/

Trump Mobile's flagship service "The 47 Plan" includes:

Trump Mobile also announces the T1 phone
In addition to its service plan, Trump Mobile is also set to release a mobile phone called the T1 Phone.

The T1 Phone will also have 256 gigabytes of internal storage and 12 gigabytes of RAM storage. It will also operate on the Android 15 system and have a USB-C port and 3.5 mm headphone jack.

"proudly designed and built in the United States." <- I don't really believe it

Guys a grifter. It's a Chinese phone. And looking at the pictures its clearly just a generic phone with a gold protector case on it when I look at corners of the screen....lol. Maybe they will open the boxes slap on the plastic gold case and a sticker saying made in America

Trump Mobile's T1 is made in China​

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/trump-mobiles-t1-is-made-in-china/ar-AA1GPcIY

"And that smartphone that the Trump organization claims is made in the US, is a cheap Chinese android device, that they are tripling the Amazon price of, slapping on new plastic, and calling it a day."

I suppose it is better than Trump Bibles he sells for $100.

Anyway back to topic.

Almost 70,000 people sign up for Trump's new Gold Card; and it's not even available yet​

https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/worl...rd-and-its-not-even-available-yet/ar-AA1GRAsI

"The Commerce Department is planning to issue tens of thousands of Trump Cards in the coming months. Lutnick has suggested that issuing 200,000 visas could generate $1 trillion for the US Treasury."

Lol...probably same people signed up who bought tickets to Trumps military parade and never turned up .

Maybe Russian oligarchs or some other important financially well off people from India who are trying EB5 or some other categories for years and couldn't get one.

 

[friedrich5000]

70k people signed up yes probably most of them are trolls or bots... lol trump is so funny selling a generic chinese phone for 500 usd or bible for 100 usd Can't believe he is doing that. Or the trump crypto coin lol

There are less than 100 Russian Oligarchs and most have tea and biscuits with Putin to avoid accidentally falling out of hotel windows. This means they will not be found fit and proper for the visa. Also Indian people are very prudent with money I wont see them throwing $5m away (which is a lot of Rupees) just to live in US when there is Dubai etc that is much cheaper. If you were allowed to invest the $5m that's a different story.

I struggle to see how this scheme could be successful. Most HNWI have the means to live wherever they want regardless of their passport by using existing residency by investment schemes, CBI passports etc. Plus most will have done their relocation efforts already. Anyone taking up this golden visa would be looking at US and saying I love to live in a deeply divided fascist state where healthcare CEO's and politicians get domed, mass shootings happen on average every day and food quality is garbage etc. Maybe some want to eventually obtain the US passport and look forward to citizenship based taxation.

Guys a grifter.

I also don't understand the point how this visa is giving access to US market. In principle, any person can open business in US without even being citizen or resident.
Rich people have enough options for residencies, besides US. If you can afford some immigration card for 5m$ , then you can afford Swiss lump-sum for example.
I think this can work maybe for very rare exceptional cases. I think they will sell some card, but not many...


I think this visa will not require high fit and proper test, unless person is murderer or mafia

Trump doesn’t care about the rest of the world’s economy as he is extremely selfish. Establishing a business as a non US resident will become harder with his policies like the beautiful whatever bill.

Rich people have enough options for residencies, besides US. If you can afford some immigration card for 5m$ , then you can afford Swiss lump-sum for example.

Unfortunately Trump thinks living in America with zero tax regime is better than a superior QOL country with a very attractive regime for those with that level of wealth.

Keep in mind that most of what you hear from his mouth are straight lies.

I tell you exactly an example of a rare cases. It will be rich gulf states like Saudi Arabia where there are literally over 4,000 Princes alone. Gulf states may bulk buy the Visas for family members and close staff as a bribe to Trump regime in order to secure procurement of restricted US military equipment such as of F35 fighter jets etc. They may buy with no intention of ever using the visas or setting foot in the US as I imagine there would be no refund after application is accepted....lol

You maybe right. After all trump is a convicted criminal and he is president of the USA. To Trump $5m is $5m whether your Kim Jong Un's wife or other...lol.

Well many Indians see the potential in USA due to their children wanting a permanent solution to their passport woes. Canada and USA were both preferred candidates for decades for this reason. Same goes for many Iranians too who were too liberal to go back to Iran. I think I have seen every other person rich enough wanting to go to western countries. Yes 5 million dollar is a bit too much for anyone. They have to be filthy rich. Eb5 is still a better option for many.
