The Trump Gold Card visa program requires a $1 million donation to the U.S. Treasury, plus a nonrefundable $15,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) processing fee. This initiative is designed for foreign nationals seeking expedited permanent residency (Green Cards) through a $1 million individual contribution.

80,000 x 1,015,000 = $81.2B

always good to do the actual math.
