You might be seeing lots of articles and news about the newly launched USA’s Gold Card. Millionaire people around the world will go crazy for this, and yes they are going crazy for this right now. Let’s dig deep in to this news
So What’s the News?
The news is Trump selling USA’s citizenship for $5 million dollar. If we convert this in to Indian Rupee it is roughly about 43 Crore Indian Rupees. So basically Trump is saying that if any person has 5 million dollar he or she can get American Gold Card. Of course the person has to invest this money in USA.
Real Reason behind this Gold Card – The US National DEBT
I tell you this is very genius idea and it can go very successful. And US can also repay majority of debt by this. And the sad reality is most of the person who will go for this schemes will be Asians majority from India and China. It is very good for USA but it is really really bad news for India, China and all other countries. Let me show you why and how.
There is one interesting website called https://www.usdebtclock.org/. Kindly visit this website. You will find a lots of numbers on this website. Don’t get overwhelmed. You just have to focus on top left number mentioning “US National Debt”. Just shown in below screenshot.
- It will be quite long number let me spell it for you. When I took screenshot it is showing $36 Trillion US Dollars. This is the total National debt of USA.
- You can also see many figures like DOGE Clock which shows the newly launched DOGE department of Elon Must. So basically it shows how much DOGE department is saving by removing Unwanted spendings.
- You can also see Medical AID, Defense and War Spending, Social Security etc. kind of numbers for your overall information.
Now lets focus is on this one number “US National Debt”. USA has only one fear; this $36 Trillion US Dollar is causing too much interest payment. Right now Dollar is strong but won’t stay forever. They are having fear of Bankruptcy due to this large interest amount.
So, right now Donald Trump needs only one thing “MONEY” to pay some of this National Debt.
How Trump Tried to Reduce US Debt
Actually Donald Trump tried many things like
- Asking Ukraine for $350 Billion US Dollar which Biden gave it as a Free Money. But Zelensky refused to repay. Then Trump called him a “Dictator”.
- Tried to use counter tariffs on other nations but it is not working right now. Trump met with PM Modi but everything is fine now. No one is talking about the tariffs right now.
Lastly he thought and what is USA’s most attractive thing? – Yes it is the Brand USA.
The Idea of Gold Card – The Master Stroke
Donald Trump has promoted his Surname as Brand around the world. He is building many buildings like “Trump Tower” , T-shirts and books giving his name and selling them. He is earning enormous amount of money by Brand Trump. Same way he thought of USA.
The main reason is there are many millionaires in the world who wants to become American Citizen. So why don’t sell The Citizenship?
So, why I keep calling it a Master Stroke?
- He is selling his citizenship at $5 Million USD, which is quite premium and attracted by only Millionaires.
- So it will solve 2 Major problems
- US Debt:
These Rich people will bring more money to US Economy, they will reinvest in USA and this is how US economy will boost and this cycle goes on. - Population Collapse:
Previously US government was allowing migrants to balance decreasing population but not getting enough skills from these migrants but now they are attracting premium people with skills. So now they don’t have to worry about population because people will go in USA and live in USA.
- US Debt:
What now? The EB-5 will be canceled
Let’s discuss what is the current process for Green Card (It is the card which allows citizens of other countries to visit USA and stay in USA whenever they want, there is no specific time duration)
Currently there is one way to acquire Green Card which is under (EB-5 Scheme), if one person invest around $1 Million dollar and purchase one property in USA for a new project then he can show US government that he has invested in USA and US government will give him or her a Green Card. Of course process is not that simple but it is the basic explanation.
Now, Trump thought this amount is quite low. US Citizenship is a Brand there should be higher price tag for it and it is $5 Million USD.
How this will help USA see this calculation in the Post of Brandon Aceto
Analysis of Above Post & Reality
As per this post USA will have to attract 7,00,000 people for this Gold Card Trap. Which is going to be very tough but form a conservative thinking USA can manage to earn $6-7 Trillion USD by this Gold Card Scheme.

| 4 |  South Korea | -1,200 |

This data taken from Visual Capitalist
As you can see China, UK and India are loosing Rich people very much. These numbers shows that in China and India if the person is earning good then he tries to go away from the country.
Some of you will say that India is doing better than China right? – NOO
Why because the numbers of Millionaires also matters. China is having very high number of millionaires but India is not. See the table from Wikipedia. India is at 14th spot and having total 8 lakh millionaires and out of that 4300 left India so rate is quite worrying.
| No. | Country or subnational area | Number of millionaires | Percentage of millionaires (% of adult population) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  United States | 21,951,319 | 8.5 |
| 2 |  Mainland China | 6,013,282 | 0.6 |
| 3 |  France | 3,168,031 | 5.8 |
| 4 |  United Kingdom | 3,061,553 | 5.8 |
| 5 |  Japan | 2,827,956 | 2.7 |
| 6 |  Germany | 2,820,819 | 4.1 |
| 7 |  Canada | 1,991,416 | 6.3 |
| 8 |  Australia | 1,936,114 | 9.5 |
| 9 |  Italy | 1,338,142 | 2.7 |
| 10 |  South Korea | 1,295,674 | 3.1 |
| 11 |  Netherlands | 1,231,625 | 8.7 |
| 12 |  Spain | 1,180,703 | 3.1 |
| 13 |  Switzerland | 1,054,293 | 15.7 |
| 14 |  India | 868,660 | 0.1 |
Conclusion
The attractive offer of Donald Trump by his Gold Card will be nightmare for Countries like India and China because both of these countries having lot of problems in their countries. (I know … I know … there are no problems but people with so much money is saying that they are facing problems – Thing of Rich People)
Now if we look for other side. The price tag for this Citizenship is quite high $5 Million USD. If you compare this with some of the famous countries like UAE, Spain, Italy, Portugal etc has around $1 Million dollar scheme. So attracting people at this high rate will be quite challenging for USA as well.
