President Trump announces kleptocracy is here.
Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

And see what happens.

feel like there’s a term for when you “clean out” a group of people from the place they live
On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.
“I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

Trump: "We shouldn't be in a position where you have tumbleweed that's dry as a bone. Even tumbleweed can be nice & green & rich & it's not gonna burn. You don't even have to remove it. It's not gonna burn. But it's just dry. So I hope you can all get together & say I'm so happy with the water."
