'Tricked by the devil.' They backed Trump. Now, his foreign labor cuts may ruin them.

No pity. He should feel stupid. Very, very stupid.


Eddie Devine voted for President Donald Trump because he thought he would be good for American business. Now, he says, the Trump administration’s restrictions on seasonal foreign labor may put him out of business.

“I feel like I’ve been tricked by the devil,” said Devine, owner of Harrodsburg-based Devine Creations Landscaping. “I feel so stupid.”

Devine says it has been years since he could find enough dependable, drug-free American workers for his $12-an-hour jobs mowing and tending landscapes for cemeteries, shopping centers and apartment complexes across Central Kentucky.

1. Buyers remorse.

At least this guy gets it. There are so many that have fallen into the 'Cult of Trump' who refuse to believe anything negative about Little Donnie. He knows Trump screwed him into the ground, and has screwed the poor and middle classes into the ground in their entirety.

I can't believe the number of zombified Trumptards at his "rallies" who actually believe Trump "drained the swamp". Trump dug a channel from the swamp right into the Oval Office, then widened and deepened the swamp to galactic proportions. These people believe what they want to believe, and reality can gain no purchase in their minds.

2. The only way this clown realized he'd been had is when his Dear Leader

personally bankrupted him. His followers are empathy-free. They were perfectly fine with his hate rhetoric and how he was going to make "those people" suffer; little did he realize that "those people" were keeping him afloat financially. It won't be until they are personally ruined by that rat bastard that they will even begin to see the light. It's tragic and pathetic, but it's true. Sad!

3. This guy had something to lose, and might lose it. Others...

... who voted for Trump, supporters who are already in financial hardship, might always believe the lies because they'll never get hit in the wallet the same way.

5. Trump made it clear he was going to stop

Letting Mexicans in. That guy fell for all the other BS. Tough.

We really have not seen anything yet. Ford is building an Auto plant in China. Harley Davidson is gone. A reverse pattern of all the Foreign plants in this Country.
Farmoers are already hurting. It will get much worse in the fall when they can not sell their soy beans. My State is one. They ship auto parts in RailRoad cars. Soybeans go back.

Steel is more expensive.. the stock market is already a yo-yo.

Just the beginning.

4. People like Devine

will probably STILL vote for GOPers in November 2018.

They NEVER learn.

7. And 2020.

6. Well, they're still being tricked. If Trump dropped

dead today, perhaps the growing kleptocracy would ignore trumpster voter wishes to bring in enough more immigrant labor for themselves and allow small business to benefit, perhaps not, but in any case the corruption, with its transfer of wealth and power and just plain terrible, destructive national management, would continue.

The monster under all our beds is not Trump.

Clue: The planet's wealth quadrupled in 30 years, and the U.S. got an enormous chunk of that. Before that, our nation was already wealthy and generally prosperous, with mostly livable incomes and widespread opportunities for economic mobility. Where'd it go? What happened?

(Btw, a relative has a similar seasonal landscaping business but managed to get visas for his regular people to return. Don't remember if they were renewed or what, but they were documented workers before the Trump administration.)

8. Check out the comments section - no sympathy.

9. "I think there's a war on brown people," he said

Either he's an idiot or a hypocrite. Trump's campaign started with racism and was fueled by it the whole time. But this guy was just fine with it until there could be economic consequences for him. Using them for his financial advantage was ok, but taking a stand for their well-being? Nah, just cheap labor for him.

10. The first comment in the comments section speaks for me. n/t

11. Are we supposed to feel bad for them?
