For the fourth time in about a month, Trump suggested increasing legal immigration levels. With Apple CEO Tim Cook sitting next to him at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said he not only wanted more legal immigration but that companies needed an expansion of new arrivals to grow their business.
“We’re going to have a lot of people coming into the country. We want a lot of people coming in. And we need it,” Trump said:
"It’s not a question of do we want more immigration, these folks are going to have to sort of not expand too much. And if we tell them … these are very ambitious people around this table. They don’t like the concept of not expanding. We want to have the companies grow and the only way they’re going to grow is if we give them the workers and the only way we’re going to have the workers is to do exactly what we’re doing."
The comments are a direct rebuttal of the president’s commitments in 2015, 2016, and 2017, where he vowed to reduce overall legal immigration levels to boost the wages of U.S. workers and reduce the displacement of America’s working and middle class.
In 2017, for instance, Trump touted Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Sen. David Perdue’s (R-GA) RAISE Act legislation, which would have cut legal immigration down to about 500,000 arrivals a year rather than the current admission of more than one million legal immigrants annually who compete against working-class Americans for jobs.
Trump, at the time, said legal immigration levels needed to be trimmed to “reduce poverty, increase wages, and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars,” arguing that the current importation of more than a million legal immigrants every year “has placed substantial pressure on American workers, taxpayers, and community resources.”

Trump was elected to get White Americans back on board with PNAC 100%, even if he had to carefully massage his campaign messaging to let disparate groups read into it what they wanted. He has been a total failure in this regard and it is because there is no personality cult out there that can overwrite the rank stench of that policy wing – it is over, it is discredited, nobody wants it.
So now he turns vindictive and hostile to White Americans and will be leaning heavily on zionist-compliant Hindustanis to give ZOG the lifeline they need.

When enough of his supporters stay home in 2020 and he goes down in defeat ignominiously to whichever blob of slime the Demonrats nominate, I actually thing Ivanka is so delusional about her family's popularity that she will be deeply shocked to not only be cast out of power, but that she'll be shattered when she realizes that she'll never be president, that her fucking family is deeply hated by the very people that put them in the White House.

He's not going to lose in 2020, anon. It's totally rigged. That's why he didn't say a thing about Democrats stealing so many elections during the midterms because it's rigged in his favor in 2020.

That is not why White people voted for Trump. That is why Trump RAN and pursued the office. That's why as soon as he got in he started bombing the shit out of Syria and all of his supporters freaked out. Trump was a bait and switch.
