Donald Trump privately hinted at a shift in immigration policy at a Business Roundtable meeting last week. He told the group we need brilliant people in this country, according to one of the attendees, who was granted anonymity to describe a private meeting. And when he talked about finding ways to keep American-educated talent at home, some top CEOs, like Apples Tim Cook, were seen nodding their heads.
The public move came a week later: On The All-In Podcast on Thursday, Trump said foreign nationals who graduate from U.S. colleges and universities should automatically be given a green card upon graduation.
It was the latest major policy shift from a candidate who has proven equal parts hardline and chameleon-like over time. Trumps pivot on immigration followed his reversal on TikTok, embracing an app he once tried to ban, and his shift on cryptocurrency.
To the former presidents allies, the reversals are evidence of a nuanced politician taking thoughtful new positions on rapidly changing issues. But there is also plainly a pattern of Trump aligning his political stances with the views of wealthy donors and business interests.

Even soften his ingrained racism. But only to a point.

(48,596 posts)What he says now to get donations he will reverse in an instant for political expedience.

(79,495 posts)That is a given.
The rich who are donating to him for a quid pro quo are extremely foolish and stupid.
Money down the drain.
And further, he will turn on them in a second.
Demand a cut of all their corporate profits or suffer the consequences.
Idiots. Rich, greedy idiots.

(79,495 posts)Even the oligarchs would have a hard time going after him.
Besides they are cowards, will never fight evil, because they are birds of a feather.

Bwahahaha!
That blatant sucking up is pathetic.
The convicted criminal's "policy," is whatever benefits him, and/or the last thing he remembers. JFC.
