“Trump put out a clarification ...end of story ...”

Somebody put out a clarification - even though he spoke very clearly, saying he was “changing”.

Who do I believe - Trump or Trump?

Reminiscent of some of G.W.’s worst moments when he would say something stupid and his office would clarify what he “meant” with a statement later.

We don’t need another President who doesn’t know what he’s talking about a lot of the time.

I didn’t hear the debate, but it sounds like Trump got rattled and probably distracted by other jabs?

Time for clarification. Trump had evolved on the visas after Jeff Sessions sent his top aide to become Trump’s chief advisor. So yes, Trump has been listening to the Sessions team and actually taking their advice.

Here are the specifics of his plan for skilled labor, and it ROCKS ...

Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform

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.

Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.

Essentially, Trump says one thing, and then his advisors say something else afterwards when they realize the fallout.

So the question is - who is actually going to be setting the policy in a Trump administration? Trump himself, or whomever runs his website?

Or maybe the better question to ask is whether we'd have gotten this "clarification" at all if Trump was already the nominee, and he was now trying to win the general election?

Keep telling my left wing friends not to freak out about Trump - they're going to be pleasantly surprised at how he would actually govern.
