The problem, of course, is that Trump was lying. He has been critical of Zuckerberg (and the rest of Silicon Valley) for his use of (and desire to expand) the H1B program. It’s right there in his immigration plan:
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program’s lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Funny how they forgot about that one. I believe it was the only time all night that one of the mods was right and the candidate was wrong.
I take it as Trump pointing out Rubio’s bill. But has Trump been personally critical of Zuckerberg? Personally? I haven’t seen it, so please cite links when calling Trump out for lying.
Trump believes people educated here should be able to stay here to work. That makes sense to me. It makes sense to employ those we’ve spent so much to train in our Universities.. He also believes nobody should be able to FIRE Americans and replace them with H1B workers as just recently happened at Disney World. He has always contended Americans should come first.

Davis commenting in this Western Journalism piece puts a Trump spin on this.
But the credit should and will go to Cruz who set the stage for others to follow when he attacked the MSM and with the exception of Jeb Bush, others did. Carly Fiorina’s comments on crony capitalism were spot on. Alas they got buried because of the push for Jeb’s opponent although they were briefly encapsulated by Limbaugh in his show.
We get it. You have Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) so bad your hair is on fire.
You have to admit that Trump handed that moderator her lunch. He owned her.
