Wealthy immigrants can buy the card for $5 million to gain U.S. residency. It features Donald Trump’s face.

“For $5 million, this could be yours,” pitched the president. “You know what that card is? It’s the Gold Card, the Trump Card,” said the president.

As he shows off his latest golden tribute to himself, he's traveling to Mierda-Lardo on our dime so he can play in a golf tournament that he will "win," while the four soldiers who died in Lithuania are returned to Edwards AFB, apparently without any show of respect from our so-called government.

I’d sell it at the bargain price of $2.5 million and retire to Canada. If Trump can sell citizenship, why can’t we?

His ego and narcissism demand a huge rock representation, as well as one in gold. And he's got the brown-nosers for it:

Trump official gives clearest indication yet that there are plans to put Donald Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox News host Lara Trump that he “certainly” believes there’s room on Mount Rushmore for President Trump’s face, in an interview that aired on Saturday.

Speaking on her show “My View with Lara Trump”, President Trump’s daughter-in-law told Burgum “a lot of people wonder” whether his face will be added to the South Dakota monument.

“The Department of Interior is in charge of the National Park Service,” Lara Trump said. “The National Park Service is in charge of Mount Rushmore. A lot of people wonder, will we ever see President Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore? What do you think?”

“Well, they certainly have room for it there,” replied Mr Burgum, who was brought on the show to discuss his accomplishments since President Trump returned to office and topics related to his department.
