Jobs jobs jobs! But only foreigners seasonal jobs at his Club then fire them and hire them back in a couple of of months later! What a joke he is becoming! Actions are louder than Words!

White middle age men cannot find jobs and now are the new poor with no hope because of illegal immigration,free Trade deals and automation! Wake up Washington D.C. could care less! They sold out the white middle class American people!

Soon all the truck drivers,taxi drivers and warehouse men will be jobless too!

Department of Labor records show Trump has sought H-2 visas for hundreds of foreigners to fill temporary positions at the two properties in recent years.

    It's a treadmill with less and less pay as the population grows and the more funny money they pump out (Federal Reserve)for the masses to collect for their endeavors is less and less in buying power. The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.

    As long as the middle age white men kill them self with grief,alcohol and drugs at home then the system could careless.

    The USA is 4.6 % of the world population but consumes 80% of the Opioids

    Republican candidate Donald Trump also spoke about opioid addiction during a New Hampshire rally. ?We are going to try and help the young people, and the old people, and the middle-age people, and everybody that got addicted,? he said.

    The data show the problem of opioid addiction is growing. This is from a 2016 report prepared by the American Society of Addiction Medicine:

    Let me make myself clear . First of all Donald Trump is NOT running his companies. They were turned over to his son.

    Second, you really think that the immigration issues talked about was for "legal visa" workers in quantities like a couple hundred, or is the issue of "illegal" so called immigrants in the millions that might be the real problem.

    Another much to do about nothing, run down Trump, squawk.

    No not really it's the greed of government's debasing their currency by fiat money with greedy employers hiring so called legal workers to work under a 1099 with no benefits.

    If they can't find cooks or maids that are citizen's it's because you don't have ten of them living in a one bedroom apartment so they can live on the devalued fiat currency the Super rich corporations gives them and calls it a fair wage which is a not a standard of living this country once gave.

    I worked sacking groceries when silver still circulated in our free commerce and could make the equivalent of 300.00 dollars on a Saturday part time in today's money.

    The mockery and lies the elites hand out today to The USA about free trade with legal immigration is the only way we can find maids and cooks is nothing short of telling a great lie long enough the people will believe it!

    These jobs are not expert technological jobs that can't be found here in The USA.This a ruse Trump play to save profits with a devalued currency! After all if they have no bread let then eat cake! This hypocrisy to the highest degree.

    Joseph Goebbels Propaganda Minster of Adolf Hitler said this below which unfortunately is true about our Country Government today.
    ********************************************************************
    If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State

    It don't make it right when millions here are unemployed but you see they don't care anymore about U.S.citizens especially middle aged white ones.

    The Rich Republicans and Democrats sold us out a long time ago and Ross Perot said it well way back in 1992 then you can look at Ron Paul also! President Trump is all show with no substance! He is a phony! He can't even get out the gate with Congress now. The whole country is in gridlock and failing. So be it.

    Just wait when they release his tax returns to the public!

    Temporary seasonal maids, waiters, cooks ?

    Those aren't the kind of jobs Trump promised to return and/or help keep in the U.S.?

    It's safe to say Trump has added/retained 500,000 jobs to the economy and has kept who knows how many thousands of jobs in the U.S.

    One major indicator is the stock market. At all time highs and w/o one iota of help from the Democrats or 90% of the media who, from all appearances are both hell bent on destroying the economy.

    Some folks love living in Libtard U.S.A.

    Of all the problems this country faces why is H-2 workers near a priority ?

    I see a massive criminal element taking over this country and destroying the Republic , stealing its wealth, and enslaving its working population to do their bidding, as a major cancer on this nation.
    They are well ingrained in our government and own the media as one of their tools. This is what Trump is fighting every day and I'm not going to pick on a pimple when this nation has cancer.

    The same cancer that is trying to destroy Trump is the same criminal element that wants to keep things as they were so they can continue to plunder what America has.

    Trump has already made America $4 trillion richer (with just six months in office)

    During TRUMPS presidency, 5 American companies have emerged as global technology leaders. You know their names: Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Facebook. It?s a technology world, and American companies have seized the future.

    Some maids, and club help??? They are legal and being paid above minimum wage plus,, they want to work, not like many americans who are on the welfare free ride.

    Your splitting hairs.If he can't find America maids and cooks it's because they probably work off a 1099, pay all the taxes themselves,no social security,no medical coverage,no workman's comp etc...

    His Wine Business can be excused if it's agricultural seasonal jobs.

    And Trump is destroying himself with his attitude problem plus now evidence of being two face on Job creation and misinformation on his dealings with Putin.Now he wants to pardon his cronies and Fire the special prosecutor!

    The ultra rich also bank with shell companies off shore and there is your cancer! They use laws with money & lobbyist to make laws to keep all their profits while the working person gets tax and fees with new programs like sovereign investments firms building our future infrastructures with future tolls and fees hidden for consumers in product prices.

    It's just the same old raping and pillaging of America public like when LBJ took silver out or our coinage in 1964! Wake up! They have sold us out!

    Yeah trucker drivers soon to be replaced with A.I. The system no longer needs factory workers or warehouse personnel to ship products in mass anymore. A.I. drones may even kill home deliver routes one day.
    Maybe some sale personnel but I don't considered that Blue collar.

    So Amazon is out,Face book is out, Microsoft is out and Apple is out so is Alphabet.

    All of these companies are high tech and don't replace factory jobs. Capitalism is killing semi skilled labor and they are not going to help the common man/woman in replacing what they have lost in labor value and the America economy is running on central bank stimulus and maybe their Arms Merchants is the only bright spot for now along with fracking and the energy industry and construction.

    Now you know why they must track and monitored every citizen in our society before the citizens grab the pitch forks and torches!

    Without a link or a post with info it's hard to pin the "last two day" date. 94 BILLION well that's a big number but compared to TRILLIONS it's inconsequential. You would have trouble finding the dates / stocks on the chart, no matter where they were.

    Made a chart of APPLE to compare the "big five" and APPLE IS UP about 50% and most of the others are up between 30 and 40%. The chart shows high/lows each day and I see NO 94 billion dollar dips in the last 3 days? Maybe another week, try to "cherry pick" a specific time frame and talk about it,, ie: do what CNN does.

    The horizontal light blue line is on November 8, 2016. The chart has colored lines and a legend corresponding to the stocks, ie: MSFT light green.

    Apple?s latest predicament centers on its App Store. Last month, Apple told several Chinese social-networking apps, including the wildly popular messaging platform WeChat , to disable their ?tip? functions to comply with App Store rules, according to executives at WeChat and other companies.

    That function allows users to send authors and other content creators tips, from a few yuan to hundreds, via transfers from mobile-wallet accounts. Those transfers are offered by the social-networking apps free of charge, as a way to inspire user engagement. Now, those tips will be considered in-app purchases, just like buying games, music and videos, entitling Apple to a 30% cut.

    I'd agree on apple, but I've been that way since they were $50. Sold MSFT a long time ago and wouldn't buy again. The rest, yes, OK but things change in the tech world.

    Serf Quote: Not one blue collar manufacturing job in the lot! What a joke! The average family is not in the stock market either!

    The average family IS in the stock market. Lots of ways, IRA, Pension Plans, Mutual Funds, company profit sharing, etc.

    Remember the "crash" of 2007 when 10's of thousands of people couldn't quit work when they expected. Had to keep working or find another job.

    Some were counting on selling their home to help supplement their retirement by "down sizing", whooops, home prices down, equity reduced, back to work or a "downsized" retirement.

    Won't mention the benefit to "workers" when the corporations 'reinvest and grow". I'd say this expansion helps create employment all the way from "floor sweepers", trash hauling, corporate lawn care, up to newer divisions, managers, construction of new facilities, construction workers, sheetrock, and yes, truckers.

    There just pumping in fiat dollars for services or ABS. Look a stool to work right has three legs or imagine a triangle. Now if you can invent a product,manufacturer it and sell it then the only real profits are going to the inventors/investors/finished commodities and shippers now. The rest are just middle men doing nothing but sales or working on intelligence robots.

    Low skill jobs are given the 1099 now,no health insurance,no social security,they pay all their taxes etc... I doubt Trump inc. is dumb enough to skimp on workerman's comp for now.

    You see actions are louder than words just like the government saying that Gold,Silver & Copper have no intrinsic value in our Fiat money system.

    Every year the money system gets more riddled with less benefits and intrinsic value for the semi-skilled worker first then the one's above which get effect too just less severe. I say quality over quantity but hey how can you steal then? It would be too obvious!

    Amerkia Elites are just trying out to figure how to give less to workers they really don't need anymore and can't educated them to make them worthwhile anyway.

    When they dump The Affordable health care bill and replace it with the skinning version you will see the disenfranchise wake up and demand equality in healthcare but they will be sadly disappointed that The USA is no longer able to pay for it with taxes on the rich and they won't tolerate violence to get it either.

    Serf. sorry to tell you but a lot of common people are in the stock market. Their 401s and retirement are in it. In this country wealth is spread by the nature of our system. The same as debt is.



    Yeah sure if your middle class you might have a 401k but if you at even 15.00 an hour I doubt you can save anything after paying for necessities.

    And no one here will discuss the trend with immigrants/poor people that get into a formal jobs now with 1099's which are considered a contractor position.

    First the system is debased by LBJ by pulling silver out of the commence exchange for salaries then Nixon knock out gold exchange for imports and then Gasoline jump for .35 cents to over a dollar in 1974.

    Then after The 2007 real estate banker's fiasco 85% of all new jobs are are now contractor jobs instead of a W-2! It's robbery by government and corporations now here in America! Wake up the common person is getting squeezed out as The Police state gears up for the New Prison Planet NWO. Wake up!

    40 percent of Americans are not working full-time, 9-5 jobs. Whether part-time, hourly, or self-employed, the independent workforce (or gig economy, as it?s often called) is growing faster than the entire workforce. One economist studying this trend found that up to 85 percent of all jobs created from 2005 to 2013 were ?alternative? or nontraditional. One could say that the independent workforce shows signs of potentially becoming the workforce.

    well when i worked(42 years) i saved and put back all i could and made a few good investments . i didn,t buy a million dollar houses and bought older used cars-trucks, and rented a boat instead of buying one. bought a familey membership at the ymca instead of buying a swimming pool and all the money i saved by doing that put me on easy street when i retired. i have friends who are house poor and car-truck poor and seem to live high on the hog, but the truth be told they in debt up to their eye balls and one bad break and they will be in bankruptcy court. mr myopic.

    Unfortunately all are not as wise as the few. Investments with fiat money is & can become well dubious in the future. Live for the day for tomorrow may not be as rosy as yesterday seems to be the theme here. Hoarding and hiding well just be short time solutions.

    If mankind governments cannot sustain peace and prosperity for the long term then they are flawed to begin with.We the people left The old country to build here to flee the greed and corruption yet now The USA is a failure because of the republic being a flawed conception of a Democracy.

    The Bill of Rights and The Constitution has been watered down,with judicial decisions and legislated away to where we are in so much debt and disparity now that we a nothing but a shadow of the past when it comes to a just government.
