Donald Trump weighed in Saturday in a bitter debate dividing his traditional supporters and tech barons like Elon Musk, saying that he backs a special visa program that helps highly skilled workers enter the country.

Trump's statement looks to break the kerfuffle between the MAGA factions. Right-wing commentator Nick Fuentes, who said he did not vote for Trump after supporting him in the past, suggested Trump was a hypocrite for his recent comments.

"In 2016 Trump said the H-1B program shouldn't exist' because it is very unfair for (American) workers.' Now in 2024, under the influence of Silicon Valley donors, Trump says he used and supports H-1B. This is the definition of selling out,"

That time a neo-Nazi called Trump a sell out, lol.

The Once and Future King is all about what suites his best interests in the moment; he has the fidelity of a stray cat.

Sit back and watch the show I guess, haha.

Pedo party is on a roll and they aren't in power yet. Let's see if they can elect a speaker of the house to certify Trump's election result before Jan 20th

The Trump Org used to abuse H1B's just to bring in foreign chefs.

I'm sure that loads of brown-skinned smart folks will be aching to come to the US, or stay here after college graduation. They will forget all they have heard about people who look like them being attacked on the street and threatened with deportation. Not.

The in-coming administration is making it easier for Canada to recruit the sort of people Leon, Vivek and the MAGA Gang say they want to have in this country. Nothing says 'go away' like hate and bigotry screamed from rooftops. Remember those 'poorly educated' folks that King Dotard II loves so well? That's the workforce that soon will be cutting your grass, replacing your roof, bussing your table and doing rough framing at the construction site. Also not...
