Born here? Sorry. Got cash? Okay, sure.

floats $5 million '' as a route to

Trump on Tuesday floated the idea of replacing a program for foreign investors with a so-called "gold card" that could be bought for $5 million as a route to American citizenship.

Because apparently don’t have money. They finance multimillion dollar operations on multiple continents FFS.

Then there’s the , , you name it.

is such a f⁕⚠︎ing idiot it is painful.

@Nonilex

extortionist of the entire globe! how can you be blind to the grift

@Nonilex What a fun way to allow foreign oligarchs to directly fund candidates and PACs after they pay the one-time cover charge.

@Nonilex Exactly what I thought when I heard about today's Great Daily Idea of Orange Chavez. Drug cartels have money and can buy US citizenship.

@ngnr_cl It will make it easier for Don Jr to get his cocaine and for Musk to get his ketamine.

@ngnr_cl @Nonilex Look, man, rich people= good people by definition. If they weren't good, they wouldn't be rich.

@Nonilex
debates clicking the play button but I already went over my quota of stupidity today.

@Nonilex I haven't seen Dr. Brown the body language expert in a while, wish he'd look at this clip. IIRC, looking down like this is a sign of discomfort with subject matter or
prevarication about the topic.

@raynetoday @Nonilex
🥥 This Trump "Gold" Green card will give us just what the US needs -- more billionaires.
Musk bought the presidency for Trump for a little over $250-million.
How much will a foreigner have to pay for a Congressman or a Senator, or a Supreme Court Justice?
How much will Trump's cut of each of these fees be? 🥥
#USPolitics #PayToPlay #TuckersBslls

@Nonilex #uspol He didn't actually answer the question. It sounds like the only entry requirement is $5million per "Trump Gold Card".

Also, if the aim is to "pay down the deficit", then they need to sell *a lot* of Trump Gold Cards.

I wonder if Trump gets a cut...

@Nonilex

Wealth, especially inherited wealth, doesn't make you successful. Prime example is co prez the orange felon dummkopf. Note his six bankruptcies.
.

@Nonilex Do you have one where someone hits him with a pie?

@Gustodon A "pay per view" of that would put a dent in the deficit.

@Nonilex

Donald "Dollar Signs & Gold" Trump. Money and his fragile feelings are the only 2 things he cares about. Republicans fell for his lies, and we will all pay for their ignorance!

@Nonilex You'd get a few dollars, not enough to matter. The 5 mill. would primarily serve as a filter, to only get a certain level of terrorist or grifter. You'd get the real scumbags, mere lowlifes need not apply. Thankfully international treaties against money-laundering are gone, so there would be few embarrassing revelations. I'm sure the US could send some "ambassadors" with bulges under their left arm to make sure Panama does not lose any more papers. Putin could help.

@Nonilex somehow I thought the special russian oligarch visas would be in bitcoin. ❓

@Nonilex "Give me your privileged, your rich,
Your rare millionaires yearning to be free from regulation"

@Nonilex

What a sorry state of affairs we have now. We are going to turn into a pay as you go economy just like our medical system.

Socialism is looking pretty good at this point.

@Nonilex
Just wondering…will these gold card visa holders be happy to work in the fields, work as caregivers to elderly nursing home residents, bring science and advanced uni degrees, be trained as physicians, rocket scientists, have children they’re trying to save from violence & traffickers, or will they just be more rich fucks to exploit the rest of us, like 47’s other pals?

Oh, AND WILL THEY ALL BE WHITE?

@Nonilex
“Trump added it is possible Russian oligarchs could qualify for the gold cards, when asked by a journalist if those people would be eligible. "Yeah, possibly. Hey. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people," he said.”

@Nonilex

Trumpo just realized he bought the election so hey, we can make people pay for anything.......

What are the going rates for clean air and clean water?

@Nonilex

I predict this will go over very, very badly with his supporters.

"#Trump floats $5 million '#GoldCard' as a route to #US #citizenship"

@Nonilex @ZhiZhu

If Trump thinks U.S. citizenship is worth five million dollars, does that mean he will pay me five million dollars to give up my U.S. citizenship?
