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.

    Well he did lose supporters. Unfortunately a bunch of lazy fucks sat out this election and let him win with less votes.

      Um… No, he got more votes than in either of his previous elections. Millions more.

      At least according to the records I’ve seen.
