"I feel like I've been tricked by the devil"

[DemocracyMouse]

So some Republicans can think... when up against naked, self-serving, reality:

Eddie Devine voted for Trump, but worries he may go out of business if he is unable to continue hiring 20 foreign workers a season though the H-2B visa program.

“I feel like I’ve been tricked by the devil,” Devine admitted. “I feel so stupid.”

Raw Story is just click-bait.

Devine said he believed Trump’s America-first promises.

His business depends on laborers from Guatemala, so what did he think Trump meant by 'America-first'? If he didn't hear what Trump was saying about foreign workers, didn't he read about Trump's long history of failed business ventures, the cheating and lying? He had selective hearing loss and dementia if he believed that Trump would be good for American business.

3. Tricked? trump was clear during campaign that immigrants and foreign workers were "banned."

That hatred and bigotry propelled him to primary victory.

trump supporters -- even ones who have seen the light -- are just ignorant white wingers.

4. They are incapable of learning.

Devine and Monin, who also voted for Trump, think the president understands the issue but is politically trapped by the far-right.

There isn't a single issue Trump understands. And they blame the far-right. I guess that's an improvement over blaming Hillary.

5. What did they think the wall trump promise them during the campaign was for?

7. Tricked by the devil? LOL. Hardly.

The devil would have been clever and smart. You were tricked by the real life equivalent of Biff Tannen (a character that was actually modeled after Trump). There was nothing clever or cunning about it.

9. There are a lot of independent foresters here in Ala.

They are hired to do woodlot management, including a very hectic season of planting trees in the spring.
They hire a large number of immigrants for 9 months of the year.

a friend who is in the business sez that Ala.'s crackdown on immigrants a few years ago really made it hard to find workers, and now Trump's Gestapo are chasing the rest away.

13. They don't realize, when POS says he's helping business,

He only means BIG business—mega global corporate billionaires.
