The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
This cheap-looking website is just one of many low points for Trump's juvenile and embarrassing policies. At a time when his administration is making life difficult for vulnerable immigrants, the president is making it easier for wealthy foreigners to gain permanent residency. This is as disgusting as anything Trump has done since returning to office.
Pro-Trump narrative
This announcement reflects an exciting development in U.S. immigration policy. This plan will enable great global citizens to benefit from U.S. laws in the event of problems in their home countries, while awarding the U.S. an economic boost that will be allocated toward reducing the national debt. Any individuals applying to this program will be thoroughly vetted, and their potential residency will support the government financially, enabling it to better serve the American people.
