U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick posted an image on the social-media platform X on Sunday that depicted a card associated with the administration’s fast-track permanent residency program for wealthy foreign nationals. The post was captioned simply with the words “Trump Card.”

The illustration prompted a variety of responses online. Some users compared the card’s appearance to a basic laminated library card, while others referenced the program’s high fees.
