Claiming a shortage of workers for the hospitality industry, Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club has requested and obtained permission to hire 70 foreign workers. The claim of a shortage of available workers is disputed:

'"We currently have 5,136 qualified candidates in Palm Beach County for various hospitality positions listed in the Employ Florida state jobs database," CareerSource spokesman Tom Veenstra said Friday.'

70 is a slight increase over last year, when 64 foreign workers were hired.

"Making America Great Again" by hiring foreigners? Perhaps what is required is higher pay, not foreigners.

    No, I was never a Trump supporter. I voted for Johnson, this time around. I refused to give my blessing, however grudging, to either of the royal asses the rest of the country was fighting over.

    Denial? What on earth am I denying? I'm openly admitting that neither Trump nor Hillary are fit for any office, at any level of government. The alternatives weren't much better, but they were at least somewhat better. Corruption pervades the D and the R party.

    You appear to be denying that Hillary is corrupt. Is that what you are referring to with your denial statement? Tell me, what would Hillary NOT have sold to the highest bidder?
