Trump to American Workers: Drop Dead by MARK KRIKORIAN March 4, 2016

Any time Donald Trump has to talk about any aspect of immigration other than his border wall – the one Mexico’s going to pay for, in case you hadn’t heard – he falls back on his donor-class, crony-corporatist instincts. In the October CNBC debate, he essentially embraced Marco Rubio’s support for increased “skilled” worker visas and praised Mark Zuckerberg, both positions diametrically opposed to his published immigration platform.

Then in the debate late last month, he embraced the Chuck Schumer/Marco Rubio position that there are Jobs Americans Won’t Do, specifically low-skilled jobs at his club in Palm Beach, and that foreigners have to be imported to do them. In Thursday’s debate, he reiterated both anti-American-worker positions, favoring the importation of more high-skilled and low-skilled foreign workers. “I’m changing,” Trump said, regarding his views on skilled visas. “I’m changing it and I’m softening the position because we have to have talented people in this country.” True enough, except that we already have twice as many technical degree holders as there are tech jobs.

What made Trump’s “I’m changing” comment even more shameless than usual for him is that just on Sunday he held a rally featuring former Disney employees who were replaced by the very foreign worker program he’s now praising.

Don’t like Mensa, IQ too low.

My, my, any time anyone mentions Trump’s money - it goes to the heart of their true motive - and that is jealousy. Do you really believe that Cruz or Rubio is one of us? Not on your life. They are the elite and we are the serfs. Everyone who knows Donald, from taxi drivers to construction workers say he is a down-to-earth man. You have a case of that green-eyed envy going on. Trump has worked very hard for what he has, and deserves the fruits of his labor. He started with a $1 million dollar loan, and did not receive as much inheritance as people think. These nasty people are such liars.

[GonzoII]

National Review? Are those your creds?

[nopardons]

Yes, YOUR IQ is far too low; I agree. ;^)

[nopardons]

Cruz is a far WORSE flip flopper, yet YOU and your ilk swallow all of his lies, excuses, and flip flops as though it was mother's milk.

And calling Trump supporters names, doesn't do you any good at all. In fact, it just makes you look as puerile and benighted, and foolish as you really are.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, because they aren’t saying anything!

[sunrise_sunset]

Not a misunderstanding, he said he changed his view. Then he got hit with a firestorm and retracted.But we know where his heart is.

National review has certainly got their panties in a twist over rump. Every day they and the establishment can’t help themselves.

American workers drop dead, talk about a drama queen headline

[dp0622]

yeah, he DOES get selectively quoted a lot.

I don’t know what you’re concerned about. he has this.

and again why is it if I print 7 things defending trump, you attacked me on one where I question him?

I don’t get it.

and yes, there were more than several where I defended him tonight.

and i’m not worried about getting in over my head.

i’m not gonna lose a job or my life for posting those things.

[MichaelCorleone]

Trump will not sell out the American worker.

Trump can be likened to the late George Steinbrenner, owner of the NY Yankees (imo).

Not always a particularly nice guy and rough around the edges, but - he always loved NY and his Yankees and did what he had to do to come out on top, year after year.

Only the PC, easily offended, soft in the belly types can’t see this is what we need this time around.

[nopardons]

LOL...I just reply to you when I see a post. I can’t possibly see all of them, now can I ? :-)

[lucky american]

The lying and hyperbole is getting tedious.

The liberal statements made by so called Conservatives is getting tedious. The freeper response would be, IS THAT ALL YOU GOT

[nickcarraway]

He said it himself, in the debate, in the open. You believe Trump is part of the anti-Trump conspiracy?

[Paisan]

Trump’s father LOANED him ONE MILLION DOLLARS, when he went out on his own, which he then REPAID with interest!

But when Cruz BORROWS money from Goldman Sachs and pays it back with interest this is a big problem for you isn’t it?

[MagnoliaB]

National Review says it all...no need to read further because we know where it’s going.

[TexasCajun]

Hillary won't release her Walstreet speeches.

Trump won't release his NYTimes interview.

If those transcripts/audio/video would help either of them, we'e already have them.

What is Trump hiding?

Trump's foreign policy knowledge is as little has his hands.

[BobL]

OUTSTANDING - keeping his opponents, particularly Bloody Megan, OFF BALANCE.

Hillary won’t have a chance against him.

[grey_whiskers]

Still cucks.

[grey_whiskers]

What does Donald claim his to be? I know the Cruzbots claim the booger-eater’s is close to 200.
