Weeks after the Trump administration lowered minimum wages for some temporary farmworkers, the Trump Organization sought approval to hire 36 foreign workers for its Charlottesville VA winery at a pay rate nearly two dollars an hour below what it previously offered " highlighting the company's continued reliance on overseas labor even as President Donald Trump argues Americans are being pushed out of jobs.

"In October 2025, Dummkopf Trumpf's Department of Labor enacted a rule changing how wages are calculated for some temporary foreign farmworkers on H-2A visas, lowering pay rates for certain jobs.

Two months later, the Trumpf Organization filed paperwork seeking approval to hire 36 foreign workers via H-2A visas for its Virginia winery from February through October 2026, saying it could not find enough US workers and that hiring foreign labor would not hurt domestic wages or working conditions.

The jobs pay $13.90 an hour, $1.91 less than what the winery paid in 2025 and below what it has offered for similar roles since 2021, according to Labor Department records."

This hourly wage amounts to only $28,912 per year. Moreover, the absolute basic minimum living wage for Charlottesville VA is $15.00 per hour or $31,200 per year.

How cheap, inhuman, and hypocritical can members of the Trumpf Crime Family get?

The only people who won't be surprised by this are idiot Trumpers.

They still think he's doing this "for America."
