President Donald J. Trump appears to have uncharacteristically made a terrible political misstep in his recent interview by Laura Ingraham on FOX News—perhaps a politically fatal misstep, if not promptly checked by Trump himself.
The issue? Trump’s statements in defense of the continued use of H1B work visas to import low-cost third-world labor, almost entirely from India, as well as hundreds of thousands of student visas for Chinese students enrolled at American universities.
The American people who have supported Trump and the MAGA movement have largely done so from an “America-first” perspective—that the Democrats were intend on flooding America with tens of millions of third-world migrants with whom Americans are then compelled to compete for every scarce resource—employment, education, housing, healthcare, social services, everything necessary to life.
Trump’s MAGA and America-first message stood in sharp contrast to the Democrat third-world platform and attracted millions of young adult Americans who are suffering most from an employment and housing market made artificially costly and competitive precisely because of mass third-world migration into the US, both legal and illegal.
Trump’s statements in defense of large-scale third-world migration into the US stand in sharp contrast to the American-first vision sold to the American body politic, and the negative response from long-time Trump supporters has been intense and vitriolic.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
