    Lowest IQ president in U.S. history.

    Also a literal traitor to our nation, its Constitution, and democracy in general.

    Pretty sure this is how racists determine a suitable client race. Abuse them & see if they come back for more.

    South Korea needs to tell the USA to pound sand & open those factories elsewhere.

    To any foreign entities, companies, individuals who haven’t caught on to the obvious truth: You are not safe here, your investments are not secure here, any visas, treaties, contracts are all 100% revocable despite any perception that they are legally binding. Do not come here. Despite the fact that there are good and rational people fighting to change this, the hard fact is that we are flaming out, and there is no telling what destruction and chaos is coming.

    Just look at the destruction and chaos we perpetrated around the world when our society was at its height and our population had the most accommodating economic conditions in history.

      I think that’s the thing the populace isn’t feeling yet. It hasn’t impacted their comfort enough for them personally, yet. I never understood the mindset people had that led to “first they came for…”. I no longer have that naïveté, for I am seeing it unreeling in real time.

        Well, yeah, the number of people even aware that this happened is probably small relative to the adult population, and the number of people aware enough to remember what you’re talking about if you asked them on the street is even smaller. Of course, there’s a lot of awful things of important magnitude happening at a faster pace than usual, so I can see how difficult it can be to keep track.

    At this point, I wouldn’t blame any company that immediately ceased expansions in America and started to consider moving existing production facilities to adjacent countries, like Canada.

    He really has got porridge for brains. It amazes me he can manage simultaneous walking and talking.

    Why on earth would foreign companies want to invest in the US right now? He is the one that’s making it less likely, there was plenty of foreign investment in the US under previous administrations then this moron came along and ruined it all.

    Honest question: why were highly skilled Korean engineers working “illegally” in USA to begin with? Why didn’t they go through the process to get a worker’s visa or whatever?

    Another honest question: why do we have a scumbag for president? Who the hell voted for him anyway?

      why were highly skilled Korean engineers working “illegally” in USA to begin with?

      Most of them say they had valid visas or work authorization.

      The U.S. has a visa waiver program where people can come into the U.S. without a visa, and have certain rights similar to visa holders. Many of the South Korean workers have taken the position that the visas they had that allowed them to work for 6 months, or the visa waivers they had entitled them to do temporary work for less than 90 days, and that they were within those time windows.

      The lawsuits being filed also allege that immigration officials acknowledged that many of the workers did have legal rights to work, but that they were deported anyway.

      So no, I don’t think it’s been shown that the workers did anything illegal. It really sounds like ICE fucked up by following a random tip a little too credulously.

      You have accidentally blamed the victims. It is common around the world for people to work abroad, and we almost always do what our bosses tell us. Our bosses, of course, understand the laws of the places where we’ll be working, and they tell us what papers to fill out for immigration and visa purposes. Every multinational company has several people in HR who are experts on this topic.

      So the real question to ask is, “Did their employers try to circumvent the law?” … I think probably the answer is no, but if you think the answer is yes, then you should immediately ask, “Why didn’t ICE arrest the employers, then?”

      Also, immigration violations are almost never illegal. They’re not crimes; they are civil infractions. Like parking tickets.

    When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other ‘things,’ come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land," the president posted on Truth Social, adding “I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them.”

    You know what’s missing there?

    An apology.

        In the aftermath of WW2, it was decided that all those companies that worked with Hitler building bombs and guns and other military goods, they were all innocent of wrongdoing. It wasn’t their fault, they said, it’s unavoidable – that’s just how business works, they said.

        To be fair, lots of companies wanted to do business with the Nazis. Most businesses now don’t have an issue with Trump being a fascist, but that it’s unpredictable. That’s bad for business.

            The MAGA voters were NEVER their customers. The extremely wealthy are and always have been the customer. MAGA has just been that “useful idiot” to get him in the White House. If you remember that the point is to run out all the foreign owned businesses and buy up what they leave behind for cheap, it’ll start to make more sense.
