Crap from Trumps mouth--as usual.


Reporter: Why did you change your mind on H1B visas?

Trump: I didn’t change my mind. I always felt we have to have the most competent people in our country. We need competent people. We need smart people coming into our country. We need a lot of people coming in. We’re going to have jobs like we’ve never had before

Donald Trump's shifting positions on H-1B visas.

2016 vs. 2020 vs. 2024






@TheTNHoller
Trump just said he hasn’t changed his position on H-1B Visas, but as usual @MeidasTouch
has the receipts👇🏽

In 2016 he said it was “very bad for workers” and “I shouldn’t be allowed to use it, we shouldn’t have it”

- Elon & the tech bro money changed all that real fast.









PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 @patriottakes
Tonight at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said he never changed his mind about H1-B visas.

However, in 2020 Trump said: "As we speak, we’re finalizing H1-B regulations so that no American worker is replaced ever again."

It would be a shame if this got out.

.... reporter who asked the H1B question ?

Will the Tangerine Traitor have Ka$h Patel shoot this reporter dead before the next sunrise ?

Nobody,... we mean nobody fucks up the Fuhrer's New Year party with a mean question such as that. Didn't you see he had his party-party tuxedo on ? To the dungeons with thee. Torture then kill for shits and giggles.
Happy New Year everyone, except that damn news reporter.

I've worked alongside many who are here on H1B visas or previously came here on one and have since gotten green cards or even citizenship.

They aren't special or exceptional, and they weren't doing jobs that were unusual or unable to be filled by many qualified Americans.

Corporations want indentured servants, this is what it is all about.

He's so close to saying, "We're gonna throw out the brown ones and only let in the white ones"

Candidate Trump talks tough. President Trump waffles on everything. The oligarchs didn't want him in charge because he's an Alpha. He is Beta-max
