Donald Trump launched a new program that will allow wealthy foreign individuals to buy a US “golden visa” for $1m, and trailed a “platinum” version for $5m.
“A direct path to Citizenship for all qualified and vetted people. SO EXCITING! Our Great American Companies can finally keep their invaluable Talent,” Trump wrote on Wednesday on social media.
A “Trump Platinum Card” is also “coming soon”, according to the official website. This card will allow holders to spend up to 270 days in the US without being subject to US taxes on non-US income. It will cost $5m.
It’s going to be hilarious the first time lCE snatches up a goId card holder!
You would think that the pig, fixated as he is with money, would know that gold is much more valuable than platinum? Pointing out the important things here, thank me please…
I had no idea. I mean plenty of subscription models (including credit cards) still rank platinum higher than gold. Apparently, the value of platinum was higher than gold only for a short amount of time, relatively speaking, from the 1980s to 2010s. Platinum has big industrial applications, but the consistency of gold’s value for alternate currency/holdings outweighed platinum’s volatility
I learned it the hard way when I wanted to trade a platinum memorial coin my grandparents gifted me as investment when I was born: guess what, my brother has the gold one :D
It’s going to be really funny when this shit hits the markets:

You can’t be poor and an immigrant but if you’re criminal and rich, bienvenidos a Estados Unidos.
press 1 english, press 2 for rich.
So, basically, if you can spend $1M, you are “good people” who can enter.
The US is trying its best to become a shithole, it was only missing more psychopaths and seems on the way to solve that problem.
You know who definitely have $1M?
The leaders of MS-13.
Such good people 💖
“Become” a shit hole? I’d argue that train long passed by.
Do you have to disclose 5 years of social media to get that?
I’d pay a million to NOT have to visit this shit hole. Immigrate? You’re kidding me. It’s in the lower third of the bottom50 countries to never set a foot into.
Pay me enough and I’ll let you do whatever you want, idgaf about this place.
I don’t think the memes will be as good as the blue check, but I imagine some outcomes will be about as problematic
