    Lowest IQ president in U.S. history.

    Also a literal traitor to our nation, its Constitution, and democracy in general.

    To any foreign entities, companies, individuals who haven’t caught on to the obvious truth: You are not safe here, your investments are not secure here, any visas, treaties, contracts are all 100% revocable despite any perception that they are legally binding. Do not come here. Despite the fact that there are good and rational people fighting to change this, the hard fact is that we are flaming out, and there is no telling what destruction and chaos is coming.

    Just look at the destruction and chaos we perpetrated around the world when our society was at its height and our population had the most accommodating economic conditions in history.

      The only foreigners coming into America should be members of an intervening military coalition.

        Americans need to fix their own shit.

        Don’t be expecting the rest of the world to rescue you from all this foot shooting that your country is doing to itself.

    When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other ‘things,’ come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land," the president posted on Truth Social, adding “I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them.”

    You know what’s missing there?

    An apology.

    Hyundai already announced a two to three month delay on this plant after this whole thing. They aren’t walking away, but this isn’t an event they are forgetting.

    It won’t matter what President comes after this one, this whole thing is going to influence investment from South Korea for some time.

    Trump backs off

    The damage is already done. He got to stuff hundreds of Korean workers in one of his torture prisons while extorting the company and the country for their release. He’s not backing off. He’s pulling his fist back for another swing. Fucking headline journalists are too “TACO” pilled to see the next blow coming.

      Trump didn’t personally order this raid. He told ICE they were weapons free, here’s your quota. Now that the predictable consequences are hitting, “Not like that!

    Honest question: why were highly skilled Korean engineers working “illegally” in USA to begin with? Why didn’t they go through the process to get a worker’s visa or whatever?

    Another honest question: why do we have a scumbag for president? Who the hell voted for him anyway?

      You have accidentally blamed the victims. It is common around the world for people to work abroad, and we almost always do what our bosses tell us. Our bosses, of course, understand the laws of the places where we’ll be working, and they tell us what papers to fill out for immigration and visa purposes. Every multinational company has several people in HR who are experts on this topic.

      So the real question to ask is, “Did their employers try to circumvent the law?” … I think probably the answer is no, but if you think the answer is yes, then you should immediately ask, “Why didn’t ICE arrest the employers, then?”

      Also, immigration violations are almost never illegal. They’re not crimes; they are civil infractions. Like parking tickets.

        I’m sorry that you misinterpreted my tone and misinterpreted what I said. Let me be more clear: South Koreans are awesome and they did nothing wrong. Why do you think I’m blaming them? Did you also miss my second paragraph where I indicated my opinion that Donald Trump is an absolute douchebag?
