Trump caught up in fight he 'did not need' due to 'unnecessary trouble-making': analyst
Raw StoryAt a time when Donald Trump's inner circle should be working on getting his Cabinet nominees primed for getting Senate approval, now time is being spent tamping down on a foreign worker controversy that has riled the president-elect's base forcing him to have to weigh in. At the center of the controversy are comments made by Trump advisors Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk about America needing more H-1B foreign specialty workers which has erupted into a war with Trump's MAGA base that had been promised "America First" policies. Speaking with host Amara Walker, the Chicago Sun-Times journalist explained, "What we're seeing here is a civil war being triggered by the unelected advisers to President Trump, so let's just see where this goes. "And on that point you made of Trump defending what Musk is doing and saying he will fight to the death to expand or keep H-1B visas, so while it's true that it seems that Trump is backing him, the reason he's giving is incorrect." "So in one swoop here, Musk has muddied the waters and created a problem he didn't have to and we'll see if Trump will continue to tolerate this kind of trouble-making, unnecessary trouble-making," she predicted.
