Trump supports immigration visas backed by Musk: ‘I have many H-1B visas on my properties’.

President-elect Trump told The Post Saturday he supports immigration visas for highly skilled workers, appearing to side with Elon Musk in the roiling intra-MAGA debate on the issue.

“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.

Musk and other tech barons argued this week that the H-1B visa program is critical to ensuring American companies can find highly skilled labor which may not be easily available in the U.S. labor force and must be expanded.

MAGA hardliners want Trump to follow through with his promise to promote US workers and impose tougher restrictions on immigration.

Trump was only the lesser of 2 evils for White Americans, no one on the dissident right thought he was anything special after 2017 when he bombed Assad's forces and inflamed middle east tensions by recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Not necessarily, we did see the backlash Musk got for the H1B visas from the Trump camp.

I warned you all. Twitter only wants to farm and surf narrative waves coming from the public without actually having to be accountable to anyone.

Trump, Elon, etc will selectively amplify and then repurpose whatever language or memes are trending on social media as mere product parceling for their own agendas. Without having any intention of actually fulfilling specific promises associated with those constituencies. All of the regalia garb going on there is just sophisticated hucksterism

Most people on the nationalist right had no real faith in Trump, just he was the much lesser of 2 evils as well as a decent way of promoting White populism.
