Trump Is Exposed Bending Key Policy to Benefit Himself [View all]

Donald Trump changed course on a key policy of his administration after being influenced by business pals at one of his Florida golf clubs.

Trump, 79, met with Mar-a-Lago staffers Bernd Lembcke and Peter Petrina in January, according to a new report in The Wall Street Journal. The men on Trump’s payroll told the president that the hospitality industry needed to hire more seasonal workers ahead of peak tourism periods in winter and spring.

On the final day of last year, the government signaled it would release only 35,000 additional H-2B visas for 2026, which was nearly half the number made available over the previous three years.

The H-2B visa allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers for temporary jobs, usually in areas such as hospitality, construction or tourism.

Self-aggrandizing, it's what Republican politicians do.
