"For 5 million dollars, this could be yours," said US President Donald Trump, waving what he termed the 'Trump Card' or 'Gold Card' to reporters. The US President unveiled the card aboard Air Force One, with an image of his face on it.
What could 5 million dollars get you? According to Trump, it could be your ticket to US citizenship. A pricier version of the Green Card, this 'visa' eliminates the need for any investment in US job-creating industries.

When reporters asked Trump who would be the second buyer after him, he replied: "I don't know." The US President said the card would be out "in less than two weeks," and termed the move "pretty exciting."

"It's going to give you Green Card privileges, plus it’s going to be a route to (US) citizenship, and wealthy people would be coming into our country by buying this card," Trump earlier said.
What if you pay $5 million and change your mind about the card? The fee is non-refundable, and has to be paid directly to the US government. While it saves applicants from the hassle of investing, this also means that there would be no returns created from the $5 million paid.
This is not the first time Trump has launched a product with his face on it. In early January, before he took office, he launched a $TRUMP meme coin, featuring his fist in the air, along with the slogan "Fight Fight Fight", words he yelled moments after the assassination attempt.
