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.

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.
