People are baffled as they make the same point about Donald Trump’s controversial ‘Gold Card’ website

The 'Gold Card' is a type of visa that costs an eye-watering $5 million

People have all been left saying the same thing about Trump's 'Gold Card'.

Back in February, the POTUS announced that he was releasing a 'Gold Card', which is a type of visa aimed at wealthy immigrants wanting the right to work in America and fast-track their US citizenship.

The catch? It'll set a person back a whopping $5,000,000 to buy one.

"We're going to be selling a Gold Card," Trump boasted at the time. "You have a green card. This is a gold card."

He went on to say of the people that the type of visa is aimed at: "They'll be wealthy and they'll be successful, and they'll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people, and we think it's going to be extremely successful."

Trump said that the card would be ready within a fortnight, but the waiting list for the exclusive and controversial visa has only just gone live this week.

A statement shared by Trump's on Truth Social on Wednesday (June 11) read: "FOR FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, THE TRUMP CARD IS COMING! Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the Greatest Country and Market anywhere in the World!

"It's called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! THE WAITING LIST IS NOW OPEN."

Trump proceeded to direct people to trumpcard.gov where they can apply. However, people haven't been left overly impressed with the website...

"We live in an idiocracy," one person said on Twitter alongside screengrabs of the Gold Card website.

"Lmao this is literally the entire site," said another of its very minimal look. Others criticised the idea of a Gold Card (or Trump Card, it now seems to be called).

"Just what you needed, for Trump to turn the entire country into his private membership club," someone fumed.

A second said: "You are pimping out America on a bad street corner."

Expressing more grievances, a different person penned: "Trump is monetizing entry into the U.S., while at the same time deporting those that have lived and worked in the U.S. for years. The U.S. is and will be just for the rich. Lower and middle class will be shut-out (immigrant or not)."

As it stands, it's unclear when applications for the exclusive visa will open.

What do you think of it all? Comment below.
