President Donald Trump showed off his “Gold Card” on Air Force One to reporters on Thursday, proudly displaying the $5 million card with his face on it that can buy U.S. residency.

“For $5 million, this could be yours. That was the first of the cards. You know what that card is? It’s the Gold Card, the Trump Card, Gold Card,” Trump boasted.

“Who is the first buyer?” asked an off-camera reporter.

“Me,” shot back Trump.

“The second?” pressed the reporter.

“I don’t know, but I’m the first buyer. It’ll be out in about less than two weeks. Pretty exciting, right?” Trump boasted.

“Are you ready for some questions?” asked another reporter.

“Anybody want to buy one?” Trump quipped.

Notably, Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced in late March the “sale of 1,000 Gold Cards this week, raising $5 billion in a single day,” according to Forbes. The report added:

Priced at $5 million each, President Trump introduced these Gold Cards in February 2025, as an opportunity for wealthy foreign citizens to work and live in the United States, granting them permanent U.S. residency and effectively replacing the EB-5 immigrant investor visa program.

Trump went on to take questions and was immediately asked about the impact of his tariffs. “We’d love to get your reaction, sir, to what’s going on in the financial markets today.”

“Well, I mean, it’

You know, we’ve lost 90,000 plants since NAFTA, if you think of that. Ninety thousand. It’s not even believable. Had about 6 million jobs. And so it’s a sick, it was a sick patient that went through an operation on liberation day. And it’s going to be, it’s gonna be a booming country, a very booming country. It’s going be amazing actually. We see it because we have trillions of dollars committed to come in,” Trump replied.
