The Ohio State football team is doing amazing things on and off the field.
Your second link actually shows he stated back in March 2016, that he didn’t want to end the H1B program, he wanted to end the abuse of it.
I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements. I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions."
Evidently in that debate he admitted he changed his position from the earlier clip in your first link.

So, it is correct to say he has held his current position on H1B’s well before he was nominated and then elected in 2016.
Again, thanks for the sauce, it inspired me to dig a little deeper.
Everything I’ve read and remember about President Trump’s position on H1B visas is about making sure the program isn’t used to undercut American citizens. He has never talked about eliminating it.
So far I haven’t seen any credible sauce that he’s changed his position. All I hear are people complaining because they can’t influence him to change his position. And, because it’s effective, they are piggybacking on the MSM narrative that Musk has too much influence over POTUS to trigger people.
POTUS is the key. Always has been. No other person is calling the shots, there is even a Q post where they say they, the Q team, serve at the pleasure of the President.
We might get confused, even discouraged, at times with all the moves and countermoves. We’re human, we want to fast forward to the end where the DS is destroyed.
Along, the way other people try to inject themselves into the picture. They act like they have inside information and, being human, they insert their own ideas into the conversation. But, they are not, and never have been the key to bringing down the DS.
Keep your eyes and ears on POTUS and take what the others are saying with a grain of salt. We elected him to Make America Great Again, not them.
If we look back to his first term, President Trump is being consistent on immigration. Obviously his top priority has always been stopping illegal immigration. When it comes to legal immigration his position has always been we need to admit the right people for the right reasons.
My recollection is he preached about the need for extreme vetting before a person would be permitted to migrate to the United States. He imposed the travel bans on countries that support terrorism. He also spoke about the need to end chain migration. And, he attempted to set a high minimum salary for H1B visas to protect American workers, but that was blocked by the courts.
Edit for Sauce:

Supports Legal Migration 2019

In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets. The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.
As long as we’re throwing out what if scenarios around:
What if President Trump was really buying back shares of companies that were funded by the DS with our tax dollars in the first place?
What if the Fed is actually sitting on levels of wealth we can’t begin to imagine? Wealth that rightfully belongs to the American people?
What if the plan for the Central Bank isn’t to bankrupt it, but to end the Fed and roll its reserves into an organization fully accountable to the voters? Would that create chaos? Or, might it provide the financial spark that lights a Golden Age?
I appreciate your opinion. I believe we’re going to see this whole argument was much ado about nothing in the end. We’re going to find out neither Musk, Ramaswamy, Loomer, or Bannon understand President Trump’s vision for the future.
They are arguing from the perspective of the DS imposed managed decline. They see the economic pie as being stagnant or getting smaller over time. Their overriding goal is to maintain what they see as their elite status. No matter what they may claim about being America First, they are all me first.
President Trump sees the economic pie getting bigger and, he does hold the interest of American Citizens first. If he was a me first person he would have folded a long time ago. Moving forward I believe what President Trump achieves in this second term will astound all of us.
I believe under President Trump the H1B program will become a thing of the past. Even though it wasn’t really discussed during the campaign, he tried to make changes to it in his first term. And, he has been clear he wants to close other legal immigration laws, like chain migration.
If we stopped sifting through the posts of anyone who has offended us at one time or another, this would be a pretty quiet place.
I never trusted Musk in the first place, but I don’t trust Loomer, Posobeic, or Bannon either. Even so, I read their posts and try to understand how what they are saying fits into the big picture.
I watched a documentary not too long ago about a program the Russian Government had to bring in skilled foreign workers. It seemed it mostly focused on the food industry. There were people who came to improve dairy farming, cheese making, and to open international restaurants.
I’ll dig around and try to find it.
What this H1B infighting tells me is that Bannon, Ramaswamy, Musk, and the others engaged in this argument do not share or understand President Trump’s vision for the future. They are all arguing from a perspective of the DS imposed managed decline of the United States.
When President Trump says we are entering a Golden Age he is talking about a level of prosperity we cannot imagine. The H1B program, and other things will become artifacts of the reign of the DS. As Penisse points out it won’t happen overnight, but under President Trump it will happen.
My belief is the economy will be strong enough to offer good paying jobs to any American who wants to work. I also think the H1B will be scrapped to prevent future abuses of American and foreign workers alike. It will be replaced by a new program that ensures foreign workers are truly needed. And, prevents trapping foreign workers in a system that allows lower pay and no path to permanent residency or citizenship.
Maybe the real point in all of this is not H1B visas at all. Maybe it’s as simple as people who see themselves as “MAGA Elites” engaging in infighting.
My personal thoughts are that President Trump is going to have the economy booming at a level where this H1B debate is rendered moot. And, the disappointing thing about this infighting is that the people on both sides should know that.
My gut feeling is President Trump will eventually end the H1B system because it’s a bad system for American workers and it’s a bad system for the people brought here through it.
There should never be a work visa system that allows businesses to import lower wage foreign workers and keep them here in perpetuity, with little hope of becoming a permanent resident or citizen. The system only benefits big business.
I can only guess what becomes of working age people who are able to work, but currently don’t. My thoughts are the welfare and unemployment systems will be restructured to give people an incentive to work.
Somehow the system needs to reward people for entering the workforce and, at the same time, make it clear that if adequate jobs are available they will not be able to opt to take welfare payments.
The real change will be that our government wants people to work and get ahead, versus trying to trap people into a permanent Dem voting block.
@LauraLoomer has deactivated Subscriptions. At the next renewal date, your Subscription will be canceled and you'll no longer be charged the monthly fee.
Maybe I’m being too literal, but it says she deactivated her subscriptions. Or, is this a standard statement put out by X, even when they are the one’s deactivating a subscription?
My gut feeling has been President Trump and Speaker Johnson are much more aligned on strategy than people realize. Just look at the difference in President Trump’s comments about Johnson versus Chip Roy.
Also, look at how frequently the two of them meet. President Trump doesn’t make a habit of frequently meeting with RINOS..
My gut is also telling me that many of the 38 Republicans who voted against the 116 page bill President Trump endorsed are going to struggle. Most of them say things that sound good, but they clearly aren’t on the same page with POTUS.
I think where they differ is almost irreconcilable. President Trump sees a path to solving our debt and deficit problems by drastically increasing revenue and responsibly reducing spending. Many of the Republicans who voted against the bill he endorsed are deeply entrenched in the belief that painful austerity measures are the only way.
If they can’t grasp his vision and support it, they’ll soon receive the Chip Roy treatment.
One of my brothers is lactose intolerant. He bought some raw milk from an Amish farm with the idea he was going to try making cheese. Long story short he also drank some of it and had none of the issues he experiences when drinking pasteurized milk.
This might seem like a dumb question, but can someone be controlled opposition and not know they are? The way President Trump went after Chip Roy made me wonder.
POTUS didn’t portray Roy as a RINO, but as a clueless attention seeker. Is it possible people like Roy are covertly boosted by the DS because they know people like him will stand in the way of their own side scoring a decisive victory?
Total agreement. Knowing the Dems were upset about this rules change speaks volumes. They want the Republicans to be in turmoil because it will slow down the implementation of President Trump’s MAGA agenda.
None of us know what a Johnson Speakership looks like with President Trump sitting in the Oval Office. And, we can rest assured that if President Trump wants Johnson gone it will be no problem to get more than enough Republicans to sponsor a vacate the chair motion.
