Polymarket determines that Trump’s claimed Trump Gold Card sales figures are "fabricated"

According to Odaily, Trump announced at a press conference on December 19 that Trump Gold Card sales had reached 1.3 billions USD, claiming that "sales are booming." Polymarket determined that Trump's claim about Trump Gold Card sales was "fabricated," but the probability on Polymarket that "Trump Gold Card sales will be 0 this year" remains at 88%.

The reason is that Polymarket added a note to this prediction, stating that only data explicitly referring to quantities that have been finally approved and supported by completed payments will be counted. Trump's statement on December 19 regarding Gold Card sales, as well as Howard Lutnick's claim that "1.3 billions USD worth was sold in just a few days," do not meet the standard of "finally approved and supported by completed payments."

It is reported that 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 high fee (currently 1 million USD plus a 15,000 USD processing fee).
