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.

Don't worry! It's the types that need to launder money that this will serve. Problem solved!

Doesn’t this need an act of Congress to enact?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Half the shit he’s done has required congressional authority.

Congress is full of fascist shit lickers and is fully complicit in all of these violations to the constitution. They could have impeached him weeks ago for setting up DOGE or enacting tariffs without congressional approval, instead they sit back and act like they can do nothing.

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

like father like son, and his grandfather.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It doesn't work.

The right would celebrate that it was 'triggering teh libs'.

You can't beat someone who is only playing to get a rise out of you.

Kamala got fox news to talk about her policies by advocating anti price gouging legislation. Shame she abandoned that policy so quickly

Sure you can. When Trump breaks them and makes them poor, they’ll have to stop trolling and get serious. A ton of them are starting to wise up and pressure their congressional representatives to do something.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope.

You vastly underestimate their hate.

When they're broken, he'll let them loose on the browns who get all the blame.

Exactly the same as happened during the first great depression.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure but they’ll stop trying to be silly and get more serious (albeit hateful).

As Chris Rock said, if a homeless guy has a funny sign, he hasn’t been homeless for long.

The analogy is apt, we are the guy with a job walking by in a suit, they are coming down from meth, desperate for their next fix, and they're pulling out their knife.

Last time they went on a redneck rampage we lost 600k good Americans.

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

If they are really rich, the US is an amazing place to live and 5m is nothing to them. If one has to save up for that card, it's a shitty deal.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Who keeps the $5m per wealthy immigrant? If it's Trump himself, isn't that very very illegal?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

“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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, he really is that out of touch.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When you are a 34 times convicted felon President, they just let you do it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Grab 'em by the economy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The fuckhead is damned conceited it boggles the mind how anyone can even get near him

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Especially with how he reportedly smells

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Just like in some horror movies when the evil is present
