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.

    Wow, you are a seriously stupid, stupid, stupid person, and you'll defend Trump no matter what. Trump owns the resort, yes? His hiring manager therefore still answers to him, and can be assumed to be acting in Trump's interests. His hiring manager should have known that hiring foreigners would look bad for Trump, given his campaign claims about putting Americans to work. So if Trump really believed that shit, he'd be publicly disavowing this hiring manager and working to get him fired, even if he has to request this from some family member who still has power over the place. But we don't hear anything from Trump, therefore we can assume he agrees with the decision.

    Wow, you are a seriously stupid, stupid, stupid person, and you'll defend Trump no matter what.

    Wow, that is seriously not, not, not an argument, and you cannot substantiate any of your claims, no matter what.

    Even if I am an idiot, I am an idiot who is very clearly objectively better than you at collecting, processing, and re-communicating information. My claim is - at minimum - both reasonable and factually verifiable; that the President of the United States is not a mid-level manager at a vacation resort, and thus has nothing to do with their operation. You would fail with flying colors in a formal debate setting; If you cannot operate in a framework of arguments based on reason and evidence, it is because you are incapable. Simple as that.

    we don't hear anything from Trump, therefore we can assume he agrees with the decision."

    Let's test your reasoning here, for example.
    "Trump said he is going to give me $1. "
    "..."
    "Obviously we haven't heard anything from Trump, therefore we can assume he agrees with my decision."

    You are a laughingstock. You cannot distinguish objective information, and even if you could, are incapable of processing it.

      your argument is a poor retort.

      managers are hired to manage, not report everything to the boss. if i claimed trump would give me $1 to someone in a position to give me $1 of trumps money, i would expect that person to either just say no or wait for evidence before even bothering to further validate the claim

      anyone in a similar position would use their critical thinking to just tell a beggar like you that panhandling is probably illegal and get off the private properly, without bothering to look up the specifics nor calling their boss about it unless the beggar became a persistent recurring problem

      i would like to support your arguments because i dont really like trump, but you sound more like a desperate person now with these irrational arguments as baseline examples

      trump will hear about this for sure, the hiring of foreigners, because it WILL hurt is credibility, whether they want $1 for the efforts or not.

      he'll have to respond eventually, but he may pull a rabbit out of his hat to draw attention to something else while his propaganda team tries to do damage control.
