"I feel like I've been tricked by the devil"
So some Republicans can think... when up against naked, self-serving, reality:

Eddie Devine voted for Trump, but worries he may go out of business if he is unable to continue hiring 20 foreign workers a season though the H-2B visa program.
I feel like Ive been tricked by the devil, Devine admitted. I feel so stupid.

Devine said he believed Trumps America-first promises.
His business depends on laborers from Guatemala, so what did he think Trump meant by 'America-first'? If he didn't hear what Trump was saying about foreign workers, didn't he read about Trump's long history of failed business ventures, the cheating and lying? He had selective hearing loss and dementia if he believed that Trump would be good for American business.

That hatred and bigotry propelled him to primary victory.
trump supporters -- even ones who have seen the light -- are just ignorant white wingers.

Devine and Monin, who also voted for Trump, think the president understands the issue but is politically trapped by the far-right.

There isn't a single issue Trump understands. And they blame the far-right. I guess that's an improvement over blaming Hillary.

The devil would have been clever and smart. You were tricked by the real life equivalent of Biff Tannen (a character that was actually modeled after Trump). There was nothing clever or cunning about it.

They are hired to do woodlot management, including a very hectic season of planting trees in the spring.
They hire a large number of immigrants for 9 months of the year.
a friend who is in the business sez that Ala.'s crackdown on immigrants a few years ago really made it hard to find workers, and now Trump's Gestapo are chasing the rest away.
