REPORTER: Would a Russian oligarch be eligible for a gold card?

TRUMP: Yeah, possibly. Hey. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people.

Isn’t that the plan?

Maybe Donald J Trump isn't planning on having any more elections?
That would be right up his alley.

Heck, they could just buy 100,000 gold green cards for their bot farm employees and let them vote by mail!
I'm sorry. Feeling deranged, exhausted and exasperated.

I thought that’s what his social media platform and crypto scams were for?

evansutton.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sure but this way you can just do it 100% legally

For Trump, that’s not a flaw but a feature.

evansutton.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Of course

Btw, the Gold Card isn’t “selling” as this, if it builds on existing authorities and programs, isn’t cash into the US Treasury. Instead, a requirement to invest at least $5M in plausible job creation/economy growing projects. (Plausible as much (Jared, Trump Corp) has been (borderline) fraudulent.)

You can already buy your way in through the EB-5 investor program.

evansutton.bsky.social•1 day ago

True, but it takes five years before you can even apply to become a citizen with an EB-5. As far as I can tell they're offering instant access for $5m.

Trump said, “We’re going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that’s going to give you green card privileges, plus it’s going to be a route to citizenship.” So it might be faster, but it’s still just a green card. I think this is one of those Trump stories to pass on.

That’s the idea.

my guy what do you think trumpcoin is

evansutton.bsky.social•1 day ago

"My guy," there's a difference between money laundering and selling the ability for people to do it fully legally and above board.

collectivided.bsky.social•1 day ago

well, not anymore. We're good, I didn't mean any shade. And I don't mean to downplay how ludicrous, corrupt, and cretinous this fuckin' jackal is. Not a jackal fan

evansutton.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sorry for being snappy, I was just finishing arguing with some dumbass and carried my energy over lol
