After tanking the stock market with the lame brained, ill-advised, outright moronic tariffs on the world, anyone paying attention started laying bets on what countries will offer up when they make the obligatory pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lardo to bend the knee and kiss the ring of the bloated wannabe king in hopes of having tariffs rescinded. Not one to lose any chance to profit from stepping on the throat of anyone, he followed the tariffs up with the next in a long line of money making grifts.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump held up a physical “gold card,” a new immigration status that individuals may purchase for $5 million. Trump initially announced the plan to introduce a card “with a higher level of sophistication” than the green card back in February. At the time, he said, “We don’t need Congress. It’s a path to citizenship. A very strong path, but we’re not doing the citizenship. For that, I’d have to get Congress.” Does anyone believe he intends to let Congress have any say in it? How about that $5M… where do you think that will end up?
The card features a large image of the scowling narcissist alongside the words “The Trump Card” in bold text. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said it is intended to replace the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which has for decades given lawful permanent residence to wealthy foreign investors who create a certain number of jobs in the U.S. In a display of the obligatory irony deficiency, Nutlick fails to acknowledge that awarding legal residency to people who add significant value and jobs to the country is entirely different than awarding citizenship to anyone with $5M burning a hole in their pocket. No worries though… they’ll be the right color so MAGAts won’t have a problem. Oh wait, some may not be… but the great Trumpholio will say they’re cool and the cult will be like oh, ok, cool.
