This interview by the way took place in July of last year, but if anybody thought Trump was going to change tactics once he became president they simply don't know Donald Trump.
Courtesy of NPR:
The Trump Organization is asking the federal government for special visas to hire scores of foreign workers for two of President Trump's private clubs in Florida — the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach and the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter.
The requests for H-2B visas, posted on the Department of Labor website, are for 26 cooks, nearly 50 waiters and waitresses, plus housekeepers, a hostess and a bartender. The jobs range in pay from just under $12 to less than $14 an hour. Mar-a-Lago and the Jupiter club have relied on foreign workers in past years for staffing during their peak seasons, which run October through May.
This year, the request for foreign workers comes in the middle of "Made in America" week at the White House.
Trump, who has had his own line of ties manufactured overseas, says he wants U.S. companies to focus this week on ways to create more opportunities for American labor. The Trump Organization hasn't responded to questions about the visa requests.
The thing that gets me about this is that it will MAKE NO DIFFERENCE.
The Trumpsters are unable to accept the reality of any negative information about Trump period, the rest of us are so exhausted from the overwhelming amount of hypocrisy that is coming from the White House that we can barely muster any more outrage.
It is like our ethical nerve endings have been numbed down to the point of abject indifference.
And that is fucking dangerous, because it is EXACTLY what Trump and his administration are counting on.
