Description
During his address to a Joint Session of Congress, U.S. President Donald Trump offers something for everyone.
For rich foreigners, he talked up his plan to introduce a $5 million "gold card."
“We will allow the most success for job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to U.S. citizen,” Trump said. “It’s like the green card, but better and more sophisticated.”
He also made his case that he’s for the everyman, redoubling on campaign promises to pursue three legislative efforts that could have huge impact on working Americans.
“I’m calling for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors,” Trump said.
At another point, he gushed that his trade policies will be a boon for the agriculture industry.
“I love the farmer," Trump said. “Those goods that come in from other countries and companies, they’re really, really in a bad position in so many different ways. They’re uninspected. They may be very dirty and disgusting as they come in and they pour in and they hurt our American farmers.”
Trump like all new presidents faces the difficult task of proving he's a leader for everyone.
