Summary
A rift has emerged within Donald Trump’s MAGA base over immigration, sparked by his appointment of Indian-born entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan as AI adviser.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy defended hiring high-skilled foreign workers, emphasizing the need for global talent in tech, while far-right figures like Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz criticized the move as anti-MAGA.
The debate reflects deeper divisions between Trump’s traditional anti-immigration stance and his recent openness to legal immigration for skilled graduates, signaling potential conflicts within his incoming administration.
Also, as much as Trump controls them, to an extent. His possibility for election (constitutional crisis not withstanding) is gone, so his power diminishes from an election point of view.
And in two years, they won’t even let him be seen in public because of how far his already broken mental state will have degenerated. He’ll be eating snacks from his Depends.
Normalcy is for Democratic losers. I don’t expect “lame duck” to play out in normal ways for this incoming administration.
I just hope that they’ll be just too busy with their infighting to actually do some permanent lasting damage.
Neither do I, but part of trumps appeal for other Republicans is that he can bring votes. He might in 2 years, unlikely in 4, so the calculus has changed in terms of benefits of loyalty.
However it’s clear you’re not actually discussing in good faith, so I’ll leave it there. Enjoy politics as a sport. You’re making the world worse.
Whatever, I’m just saying don’t expect to win tomorrow’s game with yesterday’s rules. If that’s a bad faith argument, so be it.
