Trump Unveils Exclusive $5 Million ‘Trump Card’ Visa, Touts It as Path to Citizenship and Economic Growth
Standing before a crowd of reporters and clutching a gleaming prototype emblazoned with his own likeness and the bold title “The Trump Card”, former President Donald Trump unveiled a new and controversial visa initiative that is already stirring global conversation. The Republican figurehead and real estate mogul announced that this ultra-premium visa—priced at an eye-watering $5 million—would likely become available to the public “in less than two weeks.”
Grinning as he raised the card for cameras, Trump proudly declared, “I’m the first buyer. Pretty exciting, huh?” The moment was signature Trump: bold, flashy, and unabashedly self-branded.
Dubbed a high-tier alternative to the traditional green card, this luxury visa is being pitched as a tool to attract wealthy foreign investors, entrepreneurs, and job creators to the United States. Trump claims that the program could become a significant revenue stream for the nation, suggesting it may even contribute to reducing the ballooning U.S. national deficit.
“This isn’t just a card—it’s an investment in America,” he stated, framing the initiative as both a patriotic duty and a practical economic strategy.

While critics have raised eyebrows at the exclusivity of the program, Trump argues that it will serve the national interest by encouraging job creation and innovation through the infusion of foreign capital. The idea is to reward those who can invest heavily in the U.S. economy with a fast track to permanent residency—and eventually, U.S. citizenship.
The former president, known for his hardline stance on illegal immigration, emphasized that the Trump Card offers a legal and elite path into the country. His approach to immigration has often focused on mass deportations and strict border policies, but this latest move represents a sharp pivot toward monetizing legal immigration for the wealthiest individuals.
Back in February, Trump hinted at the scope of the program, floating the idea of selling “maybe a million” of these high-end visas. He also notably declined to rule out the eligibility of Russian oligarchs or other controversial international figures, sparking debate over the ethical and geopolitical implications of such open-ended access.
With the launch of The Trump Card, Trump appears to be combining two of his favorite themes: exclusivity and enterprise. Whether this initiative will become a cornerstone of his policy platform or a lightning rod for criticism remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: the card, like the man himself, is already a spectacle.
