America once opened its doors to dreamers, builders, and families chasing a better life. It was a nation built on hope, not a price tag.
Now, it's selling access.
For $5 million, you can fast-track your way to U.S. residency—no job offer, no qualifications, no need to live there. Just cash.
It’s called the Trump Card. Yes, it’s real. The official site, TrumpCard.gov, is live. Applicants choose their region, indicate whether they’re applying for themselves, their families, or their businesses, and join a waitlist.
Trump promoted the program with his usual flair:
“Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the Greatest Country and Market anywhere in the World.”
But from the outside—watching this unfold as someone living in Canada—this doesn’t look like reform.
It looks like asset liquidation.
