US President Donald Trump yesterday said Russian oligarchs would “possibly” be able to apply for a $5 million “gold card” via a new scheme that grants a pathway to American citizenship to wealthy foreigners.

Yup, Donny, because they overpayed your apartments in your shitty Trump tower, when you were in real need of money and then never used those places for anything but reselling them to even more shady creatures. It's not like you asked for ID and registration, right?
He doesn't own a lot of the properties (including Trump Tower), so it will be interesting to see what happens when his lease expires now that his name no longer carries the attraction of a reputable business man making the license to use it less valuable
Is this a Reality Show or is this the US Government?! Criminals and dictators among themselves. How quickly a democratic constitutional state becomes a dictatorship.
This is just a minor adjustment to a program that's existed for decades. Most countries have it. You "invest" a certain amount of money that you never get back and you get a green card.
That is the thing, no run of the mill rich person ever has issues getting citizenship.
The type that can, wants to and somehow needs to pay 5 million dollar, is likely to be rather undesirable although having wealth. Trump is appealing to high level criminals and foreign operators.
The buffoon is crossing his Rubicon completely unaware and ignorant of the consequences, because he of all people obviously knows a lot about how empires fall from grace. One day will come when he will be begging people to come and he's trying hard to make it sooner than later!
Boris Johnson's government 'gifted' Russian oligarchs British citizenship thereby making millions in Russian donations to the Conservative Party foreign agents are not allowed to contribute to UK politicians.
Trump’s plan to let the ultra-rich buy a fast track to U.S. citizenship is deeply disturbing. Selling American residency for $5M undermines democracy, favoring oligarchs over working people. And why is Trump so eager to help Russian elites? Corruption at its finest.
This lunatic ignores what an oligarch is and how one rises in a totalitarian system. No surprise from someone who surrounds himself with loyalists and hardliners. I'd blame it on age-related decline, but how do you explain the silence of the rest of the Republicans?
Read as "orange man undermines ICC and world sanctions regimes: alternatively, causes the rest of the UN members to consider how necessary trade with US really is"

And from memory the same rule applies in the US.
