Trump Gold Card: Green card for the rich.

For $5 million, people will be able to apply to become US permanent residents. Is Trump transforming America into a bordello patronized by moneybags?

Ditching DEI for a merit-based society sounds good. Meritocracy, however, can refer to any form of evaluation based on achievement. Trump has a lust for wealth. He considers the national debt, the legacy of his inapt predecessors, a stain on his presidency. He doesn't want bad people streaming across US borders unless they have the money to make America wealthy again.

Gee, charging billionaires FIVE MILLION to be able to come here and become citizens? That money goes into the Treasury.

These billionaires then become part of that class of American that PAY NINETY PERCENT OF ALL TAXES. (Hint, MORE revenue to the Treasury.)

And in the process, these Billionaires EXPAND the economy and the job market.

Tell us again the down side to this. Tell us why you would prefer THESE ANIMALS

who only COST the Treasury

over the achievers who pay five million dollars and ADD to the Treasury and expand the economy.

We'll wait.

Animals who can pay $5 million to enter the US are better?

@Reason10 You know the RICH pay the least amount of taxes of any demographic. They have the money to know all the loopholes. Look at Trump, he never pays any taxes. Imagine America full of people like that.

Look at Trump, he never pays any taxes.

He probably has no taxable income. Trump's personal tax lawyers ensure that he is in compliance with tax laws.

DEAD WRONG!!!

Actually, tRump's personal tax lawyers, the Mazars firm, released a statement that since tRump had lied to them about his assets, their statements about his finances cannot be relied upon.

Mazars USA, in a Feb. 9 letter made public on Monday, told the Trump Organization, the former president's New York-based real estate business, that its financial statements for 2011 through 2020 should no longer be relied on.

... "While we have not concluded that the various financial statements, as a whole, contain material discrepancies, based upon the totality of the circumstances we believe our advice to you to no longer rely upon those financial statements is appropriate," Mazars said in the letter addressed to the chief legal officer at the Trump Organization, Alan Garten.

... The accounting firm also said it would no longer work for the Trump Organization.
