President-elect Donald Trump told The New York Post on Saturday that he supports H-1B visas, weighing in on a key issue that has caused a rift within his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump told The Post in a phone interview on Saturday.
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” he said.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he apparently has changed his mind and forgot what he said in 2016. He was opposed to them.

In 2016, he opposed them.
Trump admitted H-1B visas were bad for American workers in 2016 and said he used them as a businessman but shouldn’t be allowed to.
He now claims to have always been in favor of the program.
