President Trump chose him to be his Secretary of Labor after interviewing him. If you believe what Trump said today, he was completely satisfied with his performance. Trump did not have to bring Acosta to the impromptu presser or warmly embrace him verbally and physically. He wanted to make the point that Acosta was treated unfairly and that he had his unwavering support.
If Acosta was so competent as LABOR secretary, then why is there any support, even in silence, for H1B?! Why has there not been more push by labor to educate union workers that they can drop their unions?! Why was there not a push to eliminate work permits for illegals that are caught-and-released?! Acosta has done nothing and has not been a voice to defend AMERICANS.
