America Is Selling Green Cards — $5 Million Each. Trump’s “Trump Card” Program Is Now Live.

Trump calls it “a beautiful road to become citizen.” But it looks more like a clearance sale.

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.


1. What the Trump Card Really Is

Let’s break it down:

  • Price: $5 million

  • Website: TrumpCard.gov (live, with a waitlist)

  • Goal: Replace the EB-5 investment visa

  • Legal status: Unclear—likely using a loophole called “parole authority”

  • Design: A gold card featuring Trump’s face, the Statue of Liberty, the number “5M,” and his signature

  • Pitch: “A green card, but better and more sophisticated,” according to Trump
