ISLAMABAD: United States (US) President Donald Trump has launched a signup website for $5 million “Trump Card” through a post on his Truth Social account.
In the post, Trump wrote: “FOR FIVE MILLION $DOLLARS, THE TRUMP CARD IS COMING! Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the Greatest Country and Market anywhere in the World.”
“It’s called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! THE WAITING LIST IS NOW OPEN. To sign up, go to — TRUMPCARD.GOV,” he posted.
“Jet fuel cost”
According to a report published recently by NPR, lawyers’ phones are ringing with wealthy foreigners wanting to know more about how to score a “Gold Card” – a glorified green card that would allow them to live and work in the US without going through the usual hassle or red tape. Apparently, the card’s $5 million price tag is not scaring off the jet-setters looking to make the US home. Or at least one of their homes.
“$5 million to these people is jet fuel cost. It means nothing to them,” says Matthew Kolken, an immigration lawyer from Buffalo, NY, who has Canadian clients asking about the Gold Card.
Immigration laws
Forbes citing the American Immigration Lawyers Association last month reported that launching the Trump Gold Card would require Congress to change existing immigration laws.
