Donald Trump’s “gold card” visa, where a foreigner can shell out at least $1 million to legally live and work in the U.S., has been approved for one person, said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Thursday — appearing to fall a bit short of an earlier claim.

After it launched in December, Lutnick said that the government had sold $1.3 billion “worth” in just several days, as Trump stood by holding up the gilded ticket and said, “essentially it’s the green card on steroids.”

Lutnick did not address the apparent discrepancy in an exchange with a congresswoman at Thursday’s committee hearing.

    Look at all the “HE CAN’T DO THAT”s in the rearview mirror and tell us we’re wrong.

    I swear to Christ, US liberals have had Groundhog Day syndrome for a solid year. Things have escalated and your response hasn’t changed a fucking iota.

      Asking people to do something that could be illegal to save people is worse than someone explicitly breaking laws to harm people.

      This is what liberals believe.
