President-elect Donald Trump came out in favor of visas for skilled foreign workers on Saturday, siding with Elon Musk againts Steve Bannon and much of the MAGA base in a raging battle over the issue.

In an exclusive with Jon Levine with The New York Post, Trump bragged he employed foreign nationals at many of his properties. He also praised programs that allow foreign workers to travel to the US for jobs – jobs that many on the far-right have spent days arguing are being stolen out from underneath American citizens.

Bannon was among those to take a side on the visas this week when he scorched Musk as a “toddler” amid the legal immigration GOP civil war.

While talking to the Post, Trump threw Bannon and many longtime, hardline immigration proponents and supporters under the bus.

1. LOL!

[PortTack]

2. Those thinking tsf will eventually tire of mush boy...think again. It's about money

[yourout]

29. With Trump.... Everything is about money.

To him everything is a con or a hustle or a grift.

[kysrsoze]

3. He's just not that into you, MAGAs. Now... what are you going to do about it?

[Justice matters.]

37. When the felon will pardon his J6 terrorists, and deport millions

all the stupid magats will praise him like he's their chosen one.

[IronLionZion]

4. Yes knife each other

Just wait until MAGA voters find out Elon Musk is an immigrant but IronLionZion of DU is not.

[Mysterian]

5. Cowardly slime Bannon will fall right in line with his fuhrer

No doubt in my mind.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

42. He wants to keep his MAGAt listeners on his podcasts.

[SARose]

6. "I have many H-1B visas on my properties"

Huh? Is he talking about sand traps or something?

Many H-1B visas? Again, all hat and no cattle. He doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about. 😂

[Bluethroughu]

8. He uses them for hotel workers that he does not pay on time and abuses.

[SARose]

9. Yes

The way he said it. Most people would say “I employ several people with H-1B visas.”

Just odd to me.

[Bluethroughu]

10. He proud to be a slave owner.

Ownership class showmanship.

[SARose]

11. Bingo!

Reminds me of Animal Farm:

“Comrades!' he cried. 'You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.”

[Bluethroughu]

7. Trump likes the Visas because they can pay less, demand more, and if the workers complain they can deport them.

[SunSeeker]

14. Exactly. And they're tied to the company that got them the visa.

The H-1B visa holders cannot leave the employer who got them the visa and get a better job, they can only go back home. They can't to go work for another company. So they're stuck at that employer if they want to stay in the US. That leads to exploitation of those workers.

[DENVERPOPS]

23. And those that don't have H-1B visas

are illegals, that was proven when he was first president and the FBI raided Bedminister? and they found boxes of blank social security cards and a printing press to use on them.........Of course, nothing ever happened to him, and no other golf courses/resorts were also raided.........

[not fooled]

25. Several undocumented workers came forward

Housekeepers at Ivana's cemetery Bedminster. Also, crews of undocumented workers traveled between some of his properties doing stonework and other skilled landscaping.

34. Remember:::: whatever bad that Donald says about "illegals"/undoc immigrants, he would rather hire them than pay Ameri

Remember:::: whatever bad that Donald says about "illegals"/undoc immigrants, he would rather hire them than pay Americans.
The very same "illegals"/undoc immigrants that he blames for so much crime.

He only quit hiring them when it became politically inconvenient.

[Bluethroughu]

31. It's a scam that needs to end.

[keithbvadu2]

35. Can't hire Americans because they are not educated enough...

[Bluethroughu]

45. Perfectly written, even an American can understand.

[republianmushroom]

12. The convicted felon doesn't know what a visas is or does. Just saying.

47 months and counting, thank you, Merrick the Meek.

[Lithos]

16. He actually does...

See the comments above. They are often rife with abuse by the sponsoring company.

[Ray Bruns]

44. Trump can't spell H1-B

[republianmushroom]

13. Bannon going under the bus.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

43. He went under it during the first administration when Trump fired him.

Bannon is the turd that won’t flush and probably smells like it,also.

[HereForTheParty]

15. Bannon's role always seemed imaginary to me

nm

[PerceptionManagement]

17. President Musk vs Maga

Bannon took great umbrage at being outed as a racist.

[Polybius]

18. Good

[Joinfortmill]

19. Trump likes Musk. He's a real billionnaire...

not a fake one like he is. Bannon, on the other hand, is just an old, white, fat guy.

[PurgedVoter]

20. The sewing of hatred has a double purpose

It blinds the downtrodden so they blame other downtrodden for their suffering. It also allows the rich to get more for less, effectively taking more from the downtrodden.

It is hard to have sweat shop labor when a person can escape and get legal comfort. There is a clear incentive for the rich to drum up hatred for the downtrodden. The more they can abuse people from other countries, the less they have to pay people from other countries or our own country.

[patphil]

21. Musk takes out Bannon. Money "trumps" ideology.

[usonian]

22. The rich care only about the rich. Others are meant to be exploited, and THEY SURE ARE.

He fooled them all.

[NotHardly]

24. Seriously, there is not enough popcorn in the world.

[cstanleytech]

26. Beep....beep.

[ananda]

27. For the word "visas" substitute the money I will make...

by keeping Elon happy.

Who cares about anything else?

[DENVERPOPS]

28. I heard from a tax accountant

that all private golf courses in the U.S. have a Non-Profit Tax Status.........Could that be true?????????

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. .....

[Mz Pip]

32. Trump doesn't need MAGA anymore

Now it’s all about how much money he can rake in during the next 4 years. Both Trump and Elon stand to make billions. Elon from government contracts and Trump from money poured into his PAC for exemptions to tariffs and agricultural and construction deportations.

[tavernier]

33. And now he doesn't have to sell cheap bibles and gold tennis shoes

to Maggots as contributions… he can just help himself to their bank accounts through his new IRS regulations.

[orleans]

36. maybe they'll just all kill each other nt

[Initech]

38. I believe that the technical term that you're looking for is "circle jerk".

Let these idiots fight themselves and then the public can see how grossly incompetent they are. But seriously - people voted for four more years of this bullshit.

[Cthulu on call]

39. Good way to sell intelligence

To other nations.

[LilyBelle]

40. Trump is bought & paid for.

And he's expecting for a big payout, imo.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

41. Of course

He loves cheaper labor

[Turbineguy]

46. Steve Bannon

the modern day Ernst Rohm.
