Trump claimed that Trump Gold Card sales had reached $1.3 billion, but Polymarket added rules to deem his claim "unreliable."

According to Mars Finance, on December 20th, Trump stated at a press conference yesterday that Trump Gold Card sales had reached $1.3 billion, describing them as "hot sales." However, the prediction platform Polymarket added a note to its related predictions stating that only data explicitly referring to final approvals supported by completed payments counts. Trump's statement on December 19th 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 meet the standard of "final approvals supported by completed payments." As of press time, Polymarket still predicts an 89% probability that "Trump Gold Card sales this year will be zero." 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).
