The Trump Gold Card has gone on sale. This thing is obscene on so many levels it’s disgusting.
At a time when Trump is turning away people from s–thole countries and actively deporting them, this gives him a way to get RICH people (even from s–thole countries) to give money to the US and get in.
It’s an official US government document, but it’s got his picture and name on it. There’s a long history of not putting living presidents on US currency (which Trump ignored recently with his Trump coin), and the onus is extended to things like stamps. But Trump, of course, doesn’t give a damn.
Naturally, it’s a GOLD card.
As the Maddowblog notes:
As for the amount of money the program is expected to generate, the administration hasn’t offered any details (at least not lately), though earlier this year the president told reporters that, by his estimation, the program could generate “$50 trillion.”
In related news, this guy really isn’t good at math.
But that’s hardly the only problem. A Bloomberg News report, for example, noted that international law enforcement agencies have warned that programs like these “facilitate criminal activity and are riddled with corruption.” The same report added, “The European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, has warned for years that golden visa programs expose the bloc to money laundering and security risks.”
