President Donald Trump on Friday announced the “Trump Gold Card,” which will allow individuals and corporations to receive rapid residency in the U.S., is now available for purchase with a starting price of $1 million.
The card features a portrait of the president, the Statue of Liberty and the American flag underneath a gold background, with “Trump Gold Card” stamped on the left side.
“For far too long, we have had millions of Illegal Aliens pouring into our Country, and our Immigration System was broken,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “It is beyond time that the American People, and American Taxpayers, are benefitting from our LEGAL Immigration System.”
Individuals are now able to purchase the card for $1 million, and corporations will later be able to purchase a card for $2 million.
“We anticipate THE TRUMP GOLD CARD will generate well over $100 Billion Dollars very quickly,” Trump wrote. “This money will be used for reducing Taxes, Pro Growth Projects, and paying down our Debt.”
Interested parties can apply for the “exclusive privileges” on the official website, trumpcard.gov.
According to the site, applicants will submit their documents and pay a nonrefundable processing fee, triggering an accelerated probe by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
From there, officials will conduct an in-depth background check and vet the potential cardholder.
Once an applicant is approved, a Trump Gold Card will be available for use throughout all 50 states and territories. They will be given lawful permanent resident status as an EB-1 or EB-2 visa holder.
The website notes that the Trump Gold Card status acts as a visa, and may be revoked due to national security and other risks.
The administration also plans to roll out the Trump Platinum Card, which will allow individual applicants to reside in the country for up to 270 days per year, without being subject to tax on non-U.S. income. It will take the place of travel visas.
While the platinum card has not yet been released, the website notes applicants should join the waitlist immediately, as they will be processed on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Associated Press: Coming to America? In 2025, the US to some looks less like a dream and more like a place to avoid
For centuries, people in other countries saw the United States as place of welcome and opportunity. Now, President Donald Trump’s drive for mass deportations of migrants is riling the streets of Los Angeles, college campuses, even churches — and fueling a global rethinking about the virtues and promise of coming to America.
“The message coming from Washington is that you are not welcome in the United States,” ….
Daily Express: Qatar prime minister insists $400m gifts are ‘normal’ between friends – like he and Trump
Qatar’s Prime Minister has claimed the country’s $400 million “gift” to President Trump comes with no strings attached.
The Prime Minister of Qatar has defended the country’s $400 million gift to President Donald Trump, saying that such exchanges between friendly countries are “normal”.
Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani commented on the accusations that Qatar was gifting the jet to Trump just to get on the President’s good side, saying that the gift is simply a donation to another world leader.
Baloney!
We’ll find out eventually when they call in the favor.
Rolling Stone: Scott Bessent Compares Trump’s Qatari Jet Gift to the Statue of Liberty
It’s not the same
No, Qatar‘s royal family gifting a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet known as a “flying palace” to the government that will reportedly then go to Donald Trump‘s presidential library is not the same as France giving the Statue of Liberty to the American people. But that is what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to claim on Sunday.
“Even if Qatar isn’t asking for anything in return now for the jet, I mean, that’s a bill that could come due,” Jake Tapper, host of CNN’s State of the Union said to Bessent. “Nobody… just gives a $400 million jet just to be nice.”
“Well, I don’t know, Jake,” Bessent said. “The French gave us the Statue of Liberty. The British gave us the Resolute Desk. I’m not sure they asked for anything in advance.”
Trump’s bozos are just too dense to get it!

Defense News: What’s wrong with Trump accepting a 747 from Qatar? Everything
As secretary of the Air Force, I was frustrated by Boeing’s failure to deliver the new Air Force One aircraft on time.
I can understand that President Trump would like a new aircraft, painted as he desires and available for use during his term in office. I cannot understand his willingness to accept the “gift” of a luxuriously appointed, used Boeing 747 from Qatar.
It is wrong to accept this gift from any perspective.
