Trump BOWS DOWN to Musk, MAGA HUMILIATED
Donald Trump has reversed his stance on H-1B visas, now supporting the program alongside Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, despite previously opposing it to protect American workers.

This change has angered MAGA supporters, who view it as prioritizing powerful allies over consistent principles.
