At a press conference on December 19, Trump stated that Trump Gold Card sales had reached $1.3 billion, calling it "booming." Polymarket asserted that Trump's claimed sales figures were "faked," but still predicted an 88% probability that "Trump Gold Card sales this year will be zero." This is because Polymarket added a note to its prediction stating that only figures explicitly referring to final approvals supported by completed payments are counted. Trump's December 19 statement regarding Gold Card sales, and Howard Lutnick's claim that "$1.3 billion worth of cards have been sold in just a few days," do not themselves meet the standard of "final approvals supported by completed payments." The Trump Gold Card is an investment immigration program launched by the Trump administration, allowing wealthy foreigners to obtain U.S. residency by paying a hefty fee (currently $1 million plus a $15,000 processing fee).
