It’s the “New and Improved” policy. Sure he changed it, but he’s showing he is, as Jimmy Carter said, malleable. And while it’s true he’s also vulgar, crass, and mercurial, this change shows how his decision making is purely situational. He’s not grounded in anything, except maybe his liberal roots.
“this change shows how his decision making is purely situational”
Believe as you wish. I see it as Trump learning on the fly and continually making mid course corrections - unlike bush, who stubbornly clung to wrong positions.
Since Trump has been endorsed by Sessions and appointed him leader of his Security Committee, he is more and more adopting Sessions’ stances, and I think that is a good thing. Shows he can learn and take advice from the wiser ones around him.
Trump is aligned with Senator Sessions’ legislation in December.

“Sessions introduced the bill along with Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. The legislation was inspired by cases at Southern Con Edison and Florida Disney where American workers were forced to train their foreign replacements before being fired.
If the bill passes Congress, H1-B visas would be cut from 65,000 to 50,000.
Ron Hira, an H1-B visa expert at Howard University, said the proposal by Sessions and Nelson would stop companies from taking advantage of the current program as Florida Disney and Southern Consolidated Edison did.
“More than 80 percent of H-1B visas are awarded to workers being paid less than the average wage in their field. Many of those H-1B workers have lower skills than the American counterparts they are going to replace, and the American workers often have to train their H-1B replacements,” he said. “Instead of giving visas to foreign workers with ordinary skills, this bill would allocate the visas only to the most highly skilled foreign workers – making it more difficult for employers to abuse the program.”
