Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, November 12, 2025

President Donald Trump told Fox News in an interview that aired Tuesday night the United States doesn't have talented workers to fill jobs needed domestically, defending the H1-B skilled worker visa program. Pressed by Fox News' Laura Ingraham on whether his administration would reduce H1-B visas over concerns it would depress wages for American workers, Trump told Ingraham, "I agree " but you also do have to bring in talent."

When the Fox host responded, "We have plenty of talented people here," Trump replied, "No, you don't, no you don't ... you don't have certain talents, and people have to learn. You can't take people off an unemployment line and say, I'm going to put you into a factory where we're going to make missiles.'"

... President Donald Trump told Fox News in an interview that aired Tuesday night the United States doesn't have talented workers to fill jobs needed domestically ...

Yet, pres Trump continues to assault and tries to destroy those very educational institutions that can create those talented workers.

We have the talent. Business don't want to pay Americans American wages. America first only goes so far.

All this blither-blather about US labor problems coming from a geriatric pedophile who hired young girls like chattel to be masseuses at his golf resorts and walks away from unpaid bills.

One AI snapshot:

"The Trumpf junta is accused of owing American businesses "hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid bills" for work already completed, particularly related to the dismantling of the USAID. Several cities across the US have reported unpaid bills from Trumpf campaign rallies, including St. Cloud MN and Lebanon, OH, where bills for security and public safety services remain unpaid."

CORIOLANUS

The job of the presidency, with the assistance of a wishy-washy U.S. Supreme Court, does have its perks which Trump has accelerated with his sense of overblown entitlements.

Until cities and contractors, as you mentioned, cease to be flattered by the attention, they're going to continue getting reamed up the you-know-what. It's up to them. However, scant few have figured it out.

Hi TwinPac: Steve Bannon and Felon Musk were feuding about this very point about needing educated people from overseas in the US workforce. Dummkopf Trumpf has spent his whole life screwing over laborers and contractors, but as you pointed out: "However, scant few have figured it out." Indeed. And didn't Trumpf announce an exorbitant fee for H1-B visas?

The Republican sheeple will continue following their Judas Goat right into the slaughterhouse while listening to his bleating.

Definitely has nothing to do with the billionaire donors abusing the lowest rungs of the H-1B system so they don't have to hire US college students.

Hmmm. Trying to remember what my employment status was, before I got hired by the defense contractor that worked on missiles...

Anyway I mostly think Trump is right.
Most Americans are pathetically stupid.
The redder the state, the stupider the Americans.

You would think that revelation would prompt the "ruling class" to do more to better educate American children. But no. The greedy bastards would prefer to have other countries spend the money to educate its children and then pilfer the educated from those countries.
