This is Trumps last term, he no longer needs his supporters anymore, he no longer needs to go along with a script to please his fans. He can do whatever he wants, doesn't matter how much his fans turn on him, because there's nothing they can do about it.

Meanwhile, we have Americans graduating with Engineering degrees, still looking for jobs.

[MissJacque]

Reasons why Elon Musk and Vivek needs H1B Visa workers is because he needs to hire them for cheap labor…Quit saying America cannot find talent or tech workers when we are having massive layoffs in the tech industry right as we speak…

*Democrats* _let’s tax billionaires to educate our workers_
*Republicans* _no that’ll cost American jobs_
*Workers* _oh ok_ (votes Republican) _can I have a job now_
*Billionaires* _no you don’t have enough education_

Fox trying to find a way to say Trump didn't lie, keep their viewers obedient.

In the end, there are only two classes of race: The rich and the poor.

It’s fun watching Fox News twist themselves into pretzels trying to defend Trump.

[SEEKUPEVER]

It’s absolutely hilarious to me that it’s taken the MAGA crowd this long to realize that Trump does not care about them. In his first administration he didn’t have most of the billionaire class on his side. Now, he’s part of their clan and doesn’t need to get reelected. The next 4 years will be entertaining for sure.

Welcome to our oligarchy. They don’t care about left/right issues. This is all about money and power. The division is so clearly top/down. The oligarchs just want us to believe it’s left/right. Divide and conquer. It’s been working for them so far.

[lifadysi]

This is EXACTLY what you voted for. These are the consequences of your actions. The rich will put themselves before the people.

[themaskedlawstudent]

MAGA country got duped and don't want to admit it 😂😂😂😂

[KristaErrickson]

So Elon calls you guys "retarted" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Vivek calls you ignorant.
Fox News: our work is done! 💯

[HeavenGuy]

H1B visas are great for companies, but not the American people.

[Ozarkveteran]

I’ve never watched the whole couch tip toe over eggshells so carefully. This looks like a much bigger issue then people would like to admit.

[breezybreeze]

Trump is talking out of both sides of his mouth lol it seems like Musk bought him to move his position

[helixator]

Fox desperately trying to spin it, but Trump’s quote makes it very clear where he stands, “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them. I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program, ”

[tedlodholz]

Shouldn't "America First" mean "Americans" first?

[nobiden]

And the cost of housing will go up and our wages won't...

[asmilefromellen]

Why is Fox trying to justify this. It is what it is.

[ThcaFiend]

It's not the immigrants, gays, or trans, its the mega rich !!!!
