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.

    If you thought he was just the court fool, then you ignored 30 or 40 years' worth of publicity about his business and personal dealings in NYC. My feeling about 3rd party voters is that they do indeed make a statement; sadly, that statement is "we ignore the fact that American elections are winner-take-all".
