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.
Wasn’t legal for him to run this time either. Didn’t stop him.
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.
