Trump vows to ‘hire American.’ His businesses keep hiring foreign guest workers
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/12/16/politics/trump-more-foreign-workers-invs

President-elect Donald Trump vowed on the campaign trail to do everything in his power to benefit American workers. “We will build American, buy American and hire American,” he said during a rally in August.

Despite that pledge, Trump’s own businesses sought to hire more foreign guest workers this year than any other year on record, according to a CNN review of government labor data. Companies linked to some of Trump’s top political backers and administration picks also have been given the green light to use guest workers this year.

Trump’s businesses, including the Mar-a-Lago Club, some of his golf courses and a Virginia winery, have collectively increased their reliance on temporary foreign laborers over the years.

Just this year, Trump’s businesses received approval from the US government to hire 209 foreign workers, nearly double the number of such laborers his companies received permission to hire about a decade ago.

The workers include cooks, housekeepers, servers and desk clerks.

That sounds about right.

Have you considered crying about it?

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

Not allowed, crying about foreigners taking jobs from Americans is strictly maga territory.

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

You'll find the majority of Americans consider it their territory that's another reason why Trump overwhelmingly won. So you are conceding that the majority of America is in fact MAGA lol

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

Well you cant argue with the maths!
He even won on the 'popular vote' 77m to 75m

My point remains that the people who elected this guy are the ones who are always screaming about "foreigners taking jobs from Americans " regardless of wether Trump himself is employing them

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

So the majority of Americans are against American jobs going to illegal foreigners. I'm really not sure what point you think you're making or if you think that somehow negates legal foreign workers, but we all know how fucking disingenuous and stupid you libtards are.

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

All I'm saying is that a righty saying to a lefty "Have you considered crying about it?", as you did, when talking about this subject is beyond ironic.

I'm not going to try to explain it again though

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

Have you considered crying about it?

[–] KBiker (1270) 2 months ago

He even won on the 'popular vote' 77m to 75m

He got less that 50% of the popular vote, and yet he still claims he got mandate from the American people.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

So you're saying that Trump won by promising to hire American, while routinely lying about it and hiring aliens instead? Can you explain why that make any sense at all?

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

Cite sources that Trump won by promising to hire American. Link?

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

The link is in the OP dummy

“We will build American, buy American and hire American,” he said during a rally in August.

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

Link to the rally then dummy, show me the clip and timestamp where he said it.

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

If a respected international news source like CNN tells me that that is a direct quote from a rally in August , thats good enough for me.

If you want to prove that CNN are lying you go and find a link to the rally and listen to it all.

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

Claim discarded! Moving on.

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

Typical Trumper
"Fake news!!!"
Its there in black and white what more do you want ?

Furthermore , why are you trying to claim that Trump did not say this?
Isnt it one of the cornerstones of maga policy?
Dont you want him to have said it?

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

Prove he said it first then I'll take the claim seriously otherwise I can dismiss it with the same evidence you used to support it. CNN says yes I say no. Exact same level of supporting evidence currently, unless you can provide a timestamped link to him saying it. It's ok if you can't do that, it wouldn't be the first fake claim you people have made with no evidence.

What more do you want?

I want you to link to the clip of him saying it, I've been very clear. Can you do that or not?

Forgive me for not immediately believing the word of proven liars and fakers.

"Forgive me for not immediately believing the word of proven liars and fakers."

100%

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

When moviechatterer says "What more do you want?" it can be safely translated from cultspeak to English and it's English translation is "Why won't you believe the same propaganda I do?"

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

You sort of avoided the "why are you trying to refute this?" part of my post.
Even if that CNN article did not exist ,
Surely we all know that Rep / Maga /Trump Policy is "Buy / hire American" - why are you saying it is not?

Why are you trying to claim that Trump never said "buy American" ?
Why shouldnt he say that ?

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

You sort of avoided the "proving he said it" part of your post, start there.

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

Whats the point???>????

Whats the point of me proving he said one of his slogans?

Its like you asking me to prove he said "Make America great again" .
Why in gods name would you need that proving ?

once again "Why do you *want* me to prove it"
dont you get it ?
usually in these discussions reps ask dems to prove it when the dem claims Trump has done something stupid.

This is not the case here .
We are talking about Trump repeating his policy aims
why do you need that proving ?

do you see where i'm coming from at all here ??

If you want me to prove it them you must be asserting that he didnt say these words .
Is that the case ?
and if so why ?

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

Why do i want you to prove it? Why do you *want* me to believe it?

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

I dont understand why you dont want it to be true .

You seem to think he's said something to be embarrassed about and therefor hopefully its a lie .

but no , he said "Buy and hire American" its a good positive thing , why do want to deny he said it?

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 2 months ago

Great news ,
I've found video of him saying it , just like you wanted .

https://youtu.be/vmYh2AjVoOc

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

Excellent well done you.
What is the timestamp for the part where he said he is exclusively hiring American and will not be hiring any foreign nationals at all? You know, the premise of Ranb's entire thread? Where is that part? I must have missed it.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

I thought I made it clear in my post that you were the source. I was hoping that you could tell us where you're getting your delusions from.

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

Nothing at all you post is clear.

Cite sources that Trump said he'd exclusively be hiring American and would deny all foreign worker applications, or have your entire thread discarded as yet another waste of time with zero point except for you to REEEE over democracy.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

What about those delusions of yours? Going to give us a clue? Thanks.

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

So no sources then, got it. Whole thread was just more REEEing by you as usual.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

You are my source.

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

You're babbling.

[–] CraigC (8842) 2 months ago

Are they here legally and paying taxes? Then shut the fuck up.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

Trump vowed to hire Americans. It does not matter if he hires legal aliens, they are not Americans and this makes Trump a liar. Why is that okay with you?

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

No it does not make Trump a liar, he can hire both American and foreign workers and still hold true to his vow to hire Americans. Unless you can cite any sources showing him say he would be exclusively hiring American? Can you do that? (we all know you can't, it's rhetorical)

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

Trump clearly meant he wanted hiring to be restricted to Americans. But Trump also means the rules do not apply to him. How is it that you have not managed to learn a damn thing about Trump since 2015?

[–] MiyagiDoMAGA (1708) 2 months ago

At what point was he clear about it, can you provide a source? Because so far you haven't.

[–] liscarkat (19447) 2 months ago

And Jefferson wanted to end slavery, but still had slaves! Damn him! Tear down the statues and take his name off of the Declaration of Independence!

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

You do you. Why is it with the MAGA crowd, that integrity means nothing to them?

[–] CraigC (8842) 2 months ago

The problem is that you people cannot survive without twisting the truth at best, or outright lying at worst. No one really cares what you say any more. So YOUR notion of integrity or honesty is irrelevant.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

Where did I twist the truth in this thread?

[–] CraigC (8842) 2 months ago

It's what you do. Every. Single. Time. To the point that you have zero credibility.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

Just as I thought, you have nothing other than your own fantasies to prop up your accusations. Good luck with that.

[–] CraigC (8842) 2 months ago

No fantasies. You people lie constantly. No one is listening any more.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

Be specific. Quote the lie I told in this thread.

[–] CraigC (8842) 2 months ago

Did I say you lied in this thread? No. I said you people lie all the time so no one is listening. I really don't give a shit what you say from this point on. You have no credibility, you squandered it.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

You did say constant. Quote any lie I told then.

I think you care deeply about me and what I say; I can tell from how you keep on making baseless accusations. :)

[–] CraigC (8842) 2 months ago

White noise.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

Musk and Ramaswamy getting some backlash for their push to bring in aliens to take American jobs.

[–] r1zz (153) 2 months ago

Trump Org has 25-35,000 employees and he got approval to hire 209 foreign workers? That's your bombshell story? lol

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

No, it is that Trump says to hire American, but also wants to bring in aliens to take American jobs. Trump even hires illegal aliens.

Would you defend Biden or any other politician that did the same thing?

[–] HarlemEagle42 (18440) 2 months ago

You mean Trump lied again? Wow.

[–] Ranb (11382) 2 months ago

Yeah, I keep on trying to remind the MAGA that Trump is a liar, but they think it is not lying when Trump does it.

[–] TinaKimo (963) 2 months ago

They will burn in hell with trump.

Proverbs 19:9 - A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

John 8:44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
