“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.”
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.

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.
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.
He could wake up tomorrow in a Venezuelan prison form ‘accidently’ being deported, since he made it so that’s a thing now
To sell it later because he thinks it’ll be a collector’s item. His only thoughts are ever about making money.
Has anyone seen his birth certificate‽
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?

It’d be a helluva thing if some dumbasses were to actually buy these things, then have it rendered null and void if the adults get back in charge…and are not given a refund.
“24h” was equivalent to “maybe during this term”, so 2 weeks could mean within the next 2 decades
Like infrastructure week!
Well, my first thought was that he did it to cover Melania 😂
Country for sale! Buy now!
And it’s a going out of business fire sale.
Held in a flaming dumpster
Hey, be fair! We’re not on fire at the moment.
Speak for yourself, flameless.
Why not let Americans sell their citizenship for $5m instead.
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.
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
That’s higher than federal minimum wage! You generous bastard 😄
The world is just waiting to pick up well educated americans because they keep electing clowns.

no, it’s on the front
It has his face on it, so it already has an ass on it.
I think people with 5mil could probably get in a lot cheaper.
A EB-5 visa costs ~1 million dollars and has been available since the 1990s. So anyone who wanted one has had plenty of time to get one.
The new “gold card” intends to replace the existing program.
Increasing the cost from 1 to 5 million sounds like it would decrease the number of applicants, not increase them. I suspect part of this change will be loosening the requirements to justify the increased cost.
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.
He’ll be a scammer till the day he dies.
like father like son, and his grandfather.
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.
If it’s still honored, it would appreciate in value in four years.
Idk why dems don’t discredit this as “Desperately importing wealthy foreign elites”.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kamala got fox news to talk about her policies by advocating anti price gouging legislation. Shame she abandoned that policy so quickly
The dementia gets more and more apparent
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?”
“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.
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.
Looks like monopoly money.
