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.

    Yes. You’ve been warned repeatedly that you put your trust in a group of lying con men. Now you get to find out about the con and experience that lesson first hand, because apparently that’s the only way you learn things, by suffering.

          This time he doesn’t need them anymore; they can’t vote for him again.

          His plan to still be president in 5 years will be by military coup.

    Now imagine being surrounded by people that stupid. All your life.

    He stopped giving his base a second thought the moment the election results were in, when it became Trump First. He has zero fucks to give y’all magats any more now that you’ve served your purpose, suckas.

    look, all im gonna say. For all my fellow techies out there, anybody with an internet connection, and significant computing resources.

    Now would be a VERY funny time to spin up a lot of “concern trolling” bots.

    Putins playbook is very clear, cause confusion and disarray, therefore, nobody trusts anything, and you can do whatever you want. Who says we can’t engage in a bit of foul play on the republican side as well?

    I so want to have hope that this time, finally, he’ll lose supporters.

    I want to.

    Unfortunately, we’ve been through this too many times with things that are far worse and somehow he never seems to lose them, not really, so…eh.

      Does it matter? He won’t be a candidate again anyway.

          I keep saying his inauguration is unconstitutional, but if nobody stops him, it’s allowed. I would not be so flippant about the chances of him remaining president beyond his 2 term limit.

          This is one of those things I really hope I’m wrong about, but I don’t have very much hope left.

      Trump is a symptom, not a cause. This disease runs deep.

        Yep. To quote Obama about something else, donvict didn’t build that. He just walked in and slapped his name on the place. Kind of like “his” buildings.

      Oh they are going to throw him away the next time someone steps in. It’s about owning the libs and how we don’t know what they need.

            Was that when Cuck Carlson was going on about his apparent kink? I think someone should have opened an investigation into him while we still have a justice system…

      I mean, a whole lot of stupid men have being a qon all bound up in the idea of their masculinity, so…the alternative is, what, to emasculate themselves, hand over their nads to the sheocracy and vote for a woman?

      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.

    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.

      He’s not going to have the mental capacity to remember the second 2 years. If he can even remember last week. While he does seem to be more coherent (relatively which isn’t saying much) since he no longer has any worry of prosecution, he’s got Alzheimer’s in his family and it’s gonna come for him.

    Yes.

    That’s his whole thing. In fact he had a book made about it. He’d sell out his family if it made him more money, and I’m not entirely sure he hasn’t.

    Bitch. You been sold.

    These pro leopard face eating party members don’t even realize, they the mark. Hell they ain’t even that, they literally cucks to Trump and capitalism. (not kink shaming. Do you) but for conservatives they are just happy to watch the wealthy and powerful. Deep down they know they’ll never get to join in.

    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.
