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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    But they’ll elect MAGA again because if there’s anything this election has taught me is that Republican voters have really strong group loyalty, and most undecided voters are low information voters and cannot be trusted to vote in any informed manner.

    Yes. And they will convince themselves that is A-okay just like they’ve done for the last 8 years
