Summary

Donald Trump faced backlash from his MAGA base after siding with Elon Musk’s defense of immigration visas, like H1Bs, used by businesses to hire foreign talent.

Many Trump supporters criticized this stance as contradictory to his “America First” promises, arguing H1Bs harm American workers by displacing them with cheaper labor.

Trump released his position through a conservative outlet, avoiding direct posts on the issue, but his Truth Social account was flooded with complaints from long-time supporters.

The controversy highlights growing divisions within the MAGA movement over immigration and corporate priorities.

    He entire second term is literally a lame duck term. He doesn’t even need to worry about the midterms, its trump first, he doesn’t care if republicans lose midterms. He has absolute free reign in the first 2 years, and even if republicans lose, he still can do a lot of executive orders that are valid as long as the courts dont overturn it, which surely the totally unbiased supreme court is gonna act very quickly, and not just delay taking the case, deny any requests of imposing an injunction on the executive order, and defend the executive order’s constitutionality.

    To his supporters: now imagine if you had thought critically about your boy before voting him into office. It’s almost like your desires to be both lazy and correct bit you in the ass, since you seem to love taking the words of a conman at face value.
