Ever the businessman, President Trump unveiled a new immigrant visa program.

ABC News reports that President Trump announced that his "gold card" immigration plan has launched. The system fast-tracks residency and citizenship for wealthy immigrants for $1 million or more.

The website is now live and accepting applications. It states: "For a $15,000 DHS processing fee and, after background approval, a contribution of $1 million, receive U.S. residency in record time with the Trump Gold Card." The website states that a Trump Platinum Card is "coming soon." "Foreign nationals can sign up now and secure their places on the waiting list for the Trump Platinum Card. When launched, and upon receipt of a $15,000 DHS processing fee and $5 million contribution, they will have the ability to spend up to 270 days in the United States without being subject to U.S. taxes on non-U.S. income."
