Surprise, Trump's Tacky 'Golden Visa' Will Be Available Two Weeks From ... Never?
https://www.wonkette.com/p/surprise-trumps-tacky-golden-visaEvan Hurst
You’re going to be shocked here, but it turns out a laminated card from Hobby Lobby with Donald Trump’s face on it, which one of Trump’s room mother volunteers made to amuse him — probably Karoline — is not actually a valid $5 million citizenship agreement with the United States for high rollers.
The Washington Post reports this week that despite how Donald Trump loves to pull it out and and show it to people, his idea for a $5 million golden visa is probably never gonna fuckin’ happen. Sad news for Trump, but it turns out that — we hope you’re sitting down for this one — no real rich people were actually that interested in it anyway.
In other words, the world’s real rich people are ignoring Donald Trump, the trashiest semi-rich guy who ever lived, because they do not actually want the gauche thing he’s selling.
Must feel like the 1980s in New York for him.
Trump announced these tacky golden cards back in February, and because the toddler-in-chief is nothing if not literal, he did it by waving an actual card around with his face on it, as if he imagined those who wish to bribe him for citizenship in his gold-plated new America would present that card in order to be admitted to Ellis Island or something. Trump swore then that it would be available “in about less than two weeks,” because “in about less than two weeks” is his standard answer when making promises that will never ever fucking come true.
