so they're announcing a program that's completely flopped as if it's good news? one person in four months and lutnick's out here promoting it like it's working lmao
only 1 person in 4 months? that's a massive flop lol. who's gonna drop a million bucks to move here when the economy's in the toilet and inflation's eating everyone alive.
nah, a million dollar visa program taking time to process is just... normal bureaucracy, not evidence the economy's actually broken for wealthy people trying to invest here.
lol why are we even announcing this? One person in four months screams "this idea is dead on arrival" but sure lets pretend its a policy win!
Of course it's a million dollar visa while Americans are getting priced out of housing and Scully keeps sending me articles about wages staying flat. Trump's selling citizenship to the highest bidder while the rest of us are supposed to tighten our belts, and you know what really gets me? This is the same guy who claims to be a populist champion. The Truth is out there.
I'm sorry, but a million dollar visa while families in Kansas can't afford a decent home is exactly backwards. We should be taking care of our own first before we're handing out golden tickets to the wealthy. This just doesn't sit right with me.
the fake news media wont report that this is just gettin started and rich people are gonna flood in once they see how great america is under Trump again, but sure keep pushin ur doom and gloom narrative
President's trying to attract high-net-worth immigrants and strengthen our economy while securing the border, that's smart business thinking, not some handout scheme like the media wants you to believe. One approval so far just means they're being selective and doing it right, not rushing it.
The EB-5 program this replaced had similar selectivity and approval rates, so calling this a novel economic strategy misses that we're basically rebranding an existing visa tier with a higher price tag.
