The current crop of Republicans says to pay no heed to the 12 years of Reagan/Bush and 8 years of Bush II because they are just RINO's

Like I said Americans hate being told the truth by people who act like responsible adults.

 

They prefer to hear whatever a Timeshare Salesmen pulls out of his ass after he wakes up this morning, regardless of what he's said in the past. 🤑

 

 

Donald Trump's stance on H-1B visas has evolved over time, reflecting a complex and sometimes contradictory position.

2016 Campaign and Early Presidency:

Criticism of H-1B Program: During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump criticized the H-1B visa program, arguing that it displaced American workers and suppressed wages. He advocated for reforms to ensure that the program served its intended purpose of filling critical skill gaps without harming domestic employment.

Policy Actions: In April 2017, President Trump signed the "Buy American and Hire American" executive order, directing federal agencies to propose reforms to the H-1B visa system to protect U.S. workers. Subsequently, his administration implemented measures to increase scrutiny of H-1B applications and prioritize higher-skilled, higher-paid applicants. 

Recent Developments:

Support for H-1B Visas: In December 2024, President-elect Trump expressed support for the H-1B visa program, stating, "I've always liked the visas." This marked a notable shift from his earlier criticisms, aligning him with tech industry leaders who advocate for the program's benefits in attracting skilled foreign workers. 

Conclusion:

While it's challenging to quantify the exact number of times Trump has expressed opposition to H-1B visas, his public statements and policy actions during his 2016 campaign and early presidency indicate a critical stance toward the program. However, recent comments suggest a more supportive view, highlighting the complexity and evolution of his position on this issue.

And how much interest you got on your savings deposit at the same time? Seems you don't remember that

Invalid assumption on your part. I addressed only the mortgage rate I recall getting. Nothing more.

Me, me, me... it's all about me, isn't it?

True that far too many folk are concerned with only themselves … the US President-Elect is a good example. My answer, however, was only stated as a personal recollection of the subject of the post. My life’s work refutes my being focused on only myself.

Soon to be convicted felon Trump has expressed hostility towards the flag being at half mast for his inauguration. Tough cookies. Also predictably the loony tunes of Q anon yes they're still around are now actively spreading misinformation that Carter has actually been dead for two years and the timing of the announcement was done deliberately to annoy Trump with the half mast flag.
