He also said he will be the first to buy one.... Like... what?.....Did he forgot he already has us citizenship?

This is probably why he wants it:

Unlike American citizens, gold card holders will not have to pay taxes to the U.S. government on their overseas income.

Not sure if that applies to us citizens with gold cards though.

I'd be curious to know if that's a law, or just another case of Trump Says.

Could you try to obfuscate your response a bit?

What the fuuuuuuuuck. That's the real story here.

There's no way that doesn't apply to him in his own mind. The US is one of only a few countries that double-tax foreign income and the super-wealthy with multinational holdings hate it. $5m to eliminate entire categories of tax? I could see him going through this whole thing just for that single rider.

Though there are also several foreign nationals in his orbit who would greatly benefit from such a program as well...
