Looks like this is MAGA's damage control talking point after the Trump interview (twitter.com)

>waste billions of dollars trying to get blacks and women to play catch up on STEM fields while denying education to white men

>end up with thousands of underqualified and entitled people with useless degrees

Hmmm

Trump's biggest mistake was even agreeing to this appearance.

The topic was bound to be Laura and him talking past one another, which happened here.

If you think H-1B isn't abused, you're being ridiculous.

If you think Americans don't have a skill shortage in certain areas after decades of deindustrialization, you're also being ridiculous.

Go headbutt the Wailing Wall, retard. Don't come back until we've killed the H-1B program.

“We have a skill shortage!”

“We need Chinese students taking up college slots”

“We have to lower mortgage standards while mass naturalizing people!”

Trumps really pushing the maga copium hamster this week

How many pajeets is China importing if they’re so important to our future?

The main talking point I saw on Patriots.Win (and most people at least seemed to disagree) was this is a coordinated attack plan by to divide MAGA. They are claiming people like Richard Baris or MTG aren't MAGA, and calling out Laura as a biased anti-Trump voice because she supported Desantis. Theyre calling it 'dooming'.

I'm going to go out on a limb and claim that no there are not any skilled workers in other countries that we don't have here too. MAYBE in academic research or something very specialized. Like with the Hyundai plant, the trainers were there to train workers on their specific factory tooling. It wasn't because Americans can't build cars.

Economically, if there really are labor shortages in some places, don't you need to motivate supply to meet demand? Low cost H1B is like a crutch that discourages the market from meeting on a reasonable supply-price point.

They’re all bad faith traitors. These snakes were never-Trumpers in 2016. Now they want to redefine MAGA, and apparently it means Israel, India, and techbros first. They immediately accuse anyone who stands up to them of being a Muslim apologist or a crypto leftist. It’s so fucking tiresome.

They aren't trying to redefine MAGA, this is what MAGA IS. It was always about the economic zone and never about whites.

MAGA is a vague slogan that works on people who are dissatisfied with America's cultural decline, overreliance on foreign goods, and other self-destructive policies. Some people who bought in thought it would mean revitalizing dying factory towns. Some people who bought in thought it would mean we'd go back to Leave It To Beaver social dynamics. That's why it worked well as a slogan: it correctly identifies the general problem but leaves it up to the voter to head-canon what "Great" is.

Voters who would call themselves MAGA today could be either or even something orthogonal. Trump's inner circle and the influencer sphere are a very different beast. Like you say, they were fully on the economic zone side or self-serving side of things from the start.

MAGA can't be divided because all it ever was is a loose collation of people who only really agreed on what NOT to do. They were never going to agree on what to do once the massive immediate threat like a Hillary, Biden, or Harris presidency was defeated. Anyone pretending it was more is trying to piggyback it into a personal following.

israel, techbros

But you repeat yourself...

Speaking of Muslim apologist, the murderer who was involved with Isis and other violent groups in Syria was in the White House this week.

At least DeSantis is doing something about the problem. It's not much but then he's not the one who was given the power to solve the problem.

Economically, if there really are labor shortages in some places, don't you need to motivate supply to meet demand?

There's no labor shortage. There never was any labor shortage with the partial exception of mcjobs in the post scamdemic era. There's a shortage of non-whites that these fucks want to roll out the red carpet for. That's it. If these companies hate whites so much that they're threatening to torch their companies rather than hire them we should call their bluff.

But we need them for AI, dooood! Everybody knows that the only way to get AI is to import it right from the source.

Your last bullshit sentence ruined your whole argument. There are no skill shortages. White Americans will move to where there’s good work. Fuck you.

Fuck you I DID eat breakfast this morning!

Haha you miserable niggerjeet. I didn't claim there was either a labor or skill shortage. Learn what a hypothetical is before speaking to me again! :>

your whole argument

I didn't make an argument.

White Americans will move to where there’s good work

Literally what I said. Supply-price point=Good work, fair pay. White people don't pack up and move halfway around the world to live 10 in a shack like browns. Like the other post here today said, as long as H1B exists it is impossible for Americans to compete because employers are in an infinite race to the bottom. Labor shortage or no labor shortage.

Drink bleach retard. There's no skill shortage. There's a shortage of people these companies don't hate. It's no different than women whining about the lack of good men despite sitting on their perch and rejecting them left and right.

In this same interview, Trump argued in favor of importing 600K Chinese students. If Americans lack skills, maybe use our education system to develop said skills instead of educating our biggest geopolitical rival.

We've had decades of educational discrimination against the talented White men that form the backbone of our skilled labor force.

A skill shortage? Oh well, too bad there’s no way to teach White people to code or drive trucks.

The main patriots.win page is crazy. It seems if you criticize trumps decisions and behavior on this, you get pounced on by a dozen people for being a hater or having tds lol.

They’re all the same people downvoting.

You have 2 types:

#1 (((Original))) accounts that have been here since this site’s founding.

#2 accounts < 1 year old.

The first group gets really defensive and kvetching when you call them out. The second group gets awfully quiet.

“Trump’s biggest mistake was appearing in a forum that resulted in him dropping the mask and betraying almost everyone who voted for him.”

Fuck all these faggots.

Deindustrialization is such a stupid cope unless you think screwing together appliances in a factory line translates 1:1 to making microchips. You can actually just grab people off unemployment for the first, and Indians are not qualified to do the second. If it was just about South Korean or Taiwanese trainers you could cap it at 200 a year

From one side of his mouth he says the US doesn't need anything from anyone, no resources nothing, they have everything they need and more and is the bestest country in history.

From the other side, US is missing talent everywhere and needs people in droves to do anything.

While he raised taxes (tariffs) and say other countries are paying for the tariffs.

I think the problem is there are at least, 4 or 5 people in his administration that need to be replaced.

Do that and you shut off the majority reinforcing bad ideas that are out of touch or actively hurt America.

There is a credential shortage. And because they're too cheap to train Americans, they'll settle for fraudulent ones which are abundant in foreign labor.

They'll compare the headcount of unemployed Americans with legit CDLs to how many illegals can get one signed by their cousin's "school." Then claim there's a skill gap. This lie works because credentials are the only way we analyze "skills" at large population scale.
