A couple of thoughts:
- We already have a similar program, the EB-5 visa, but that requires investing $500k or 1 million in US businesses and creating jobs, not just buying in with cold hard cash.
- Trump can't do anything like this without Congress. The president can't sell green cards. Period.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

Do you HONESTLY believe Russian Agent Krasnov (aka “President Trump”) gives two shits about the law? Honestly, do you truly believe that after his cronies in SCOTUS essentially made him a king that he cares about the law?
He’s above the law.
Buyer beware, especially when dealing with Trump!
Everything he does is a scam and ETTD!
You go with that...
See where it is when our remaining attempts at judicial entities are done with it.

He can’t hear anything but himself… and putin
Hm? Always thinking two moves ahead, that guy.

Like mass firing government employees?
Like defunding payments already budgeted?
Or TAKING BACK payments from BANK ACCOUNTS?
Why would this version of “he can’t do that, only Congress can” be any different?
The ludicrousness of the idea does not diminish the illegality of it.
(they are zealous of their individual prerogatives, and hence reluctant to give up the filibuster)
and then he'll find out that no one wants in on a failing country
same as with his steaks, his liquor, his college...
Have you been paying attention?
Sure he can.
Who is going to stop him? Congress?
Which, uh, he can't do, because 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(5) already lays out a whole lot of specific requirements for these "employment creation" visas.
As you said, he has to ask Congress.

I thought $5 million could already buy someone into the US. Maybe this Gold Card keeps sanctioned billionaires protected from asset seizures for assets in the US? Gonna be a lot of yachts coming.
We need an edit option!
He. Does. Not. Care. About. Laws. Or. Process.
Stop pretending like any safeguards in place are going to stop him. They won’t. Democracy is over.
I wish there was a clarification conf on national television every time the President says something stupid, bi-weekly to give the official reporter a break

Those already here come on green cards so they’d be safe.
1. Issue unauthorized visa
2. Stipulate applicant's ignorance of the invalid visa and grant 212(k) waiver at inspection
