Trump unveils his new 'Gold Card' visa design for the first time including a VERY familiar design
Share this @internewscast.com

President Trump brandished a sample of his new $5 million gold card that lets foreigners buy their way towards citizenship – with a familiar face slapped on it.

The face, which won’t shock close observers of the president, is Trump himself. The gold colored card, about the size of a credit card, features the president’s official portrait, which has been compared to his stern-faced mug shot when he was processed at an Atlanta courthouse during his reelection campaign.

It says ‘The Trump Card,’ in a play on the cliche and his famous name.   

‘Pretty exciting,’ Trump told reporters including one from DailyMail.com aboard Air Force One has he debuted it for the first time.

‘Anybody want to buy one?’ Trump joked, before proceeding to a question-and-answer question.

‘For $5 million, this could be yours,’ he said. ‘It’s the Gold Card. The Trump Card Gold Card.’

If any of the members of the press had been wealthy enough to purchase one 24 hours ago, they might need to check with their broker first: the markets took a beating Thursday as trading opened after Trump announced his ‘reciprocal tariffs.’

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up having its worst day since 2020, dropping nearly 1,700 points as a top automaker announced layoffs and countries around the world contemplated whether to retaliated to a new 10% across the board tariff alongside individualized tariffs hitting more than 60 countries.

‘I’m the first buyer,’ quipped Trump, who is already a citizen. He said it would be out ‘in about two weeks.’ 

That may have been news Trump wanted to distract from with the prop, although he soon got pressed on his tariffs, which economists have likened to a tax and experts said could unravel the global trading system the U.S. helped establish after World War II.

‘So it’s a sick patient. It went for an operation on Liberation Day. And it’s going to be, it’s going to be a booming country, a very booming country, is going to be amazing,’ Trump said.

He told DailyMail.com that Americans shouldn’t be worried about their 401ks, on a day when the S&P 500 index where many Americans stash their investment funds was down nearly 5% – its worst day since June 2020.

That wiped away $2 trillion from its value.

‘I haven’t checked my 401k,’ Trump replied. His own assets are tied up in his golf and real estate empire, as well as a media company he launched during the campign.

He spoke en route to Florida, where he was visiting a Saudi-backed LIV golf tournament at one of his courses. 

Trump rolled out the idea for the pricier gold card in February.

There is already an existing program known as EB-5, which allows foreign investors to apply for a special visa after pumping investment funds into the country – either more than a million or $800,000 into economically distressed zones.

‘We’re going to be selling a gold card,’ Trump said when he announced it.

‘You have a green card. This is a gold card. 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. And wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card.’ 

Since that time, the value of a green card has come into question amid the administration’s immigration crackdown, with reports that green card holders have been detained at the points of entry and deported.

Trump may be able to put his face on the visa he is creating, but he won’t be able to put it on the currency while he is alive. A congressional appropriation after the Civil War limited bonds, securities, notes, and postal currency’ to people who have died.

One Trump ally, Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina, is pushing legislation to put his face on a new $250 bill.
