Trump's Private Clubs In Florida Are Seeking Visas For Foreign Workers

The Trump Organization is asking the federal government for special visas to hire scores of foreign workers for two of President Trump's private clubs in Florida — the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach and the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter.

The requests for H-2B visas, posted on the Department of Labor website, are for 26 cooks, nearly 50 waiters and waitresses, plus housekeepers, a hostess and a bartender. The jobs range in pay from just under $12 to less than $14 an hour. Mar-a-Lago and the Jupiter club have relied on foreign workers in past years for staffing during their peak seasons, which run October through May.

This year, the request for foreign workers comes in the middle of "Made in America" week at the White House. Trump, who has had his own line of ties manufactured overseas, says he wants U.S. companies to focus this week on ways to create more opportunities for American labor.

The Trump Organization hasn't responded to questions about the visa requests.

In the past, Trump has defended hiring foreign workers at his Florida properties, saying that "getting help in Palm Beach during the season is almost impossible."

Speaking of dry holes, the palace intrigue story is played out. It's just catnip for the political press at this point.
 
Let's please not use the word "palace"

It's defined foremost as an "official residence of a head of state or other dignitary, especially in a monarchical or imperial governmental system", so I'd think you'd like the implicit burn.

Plus, Nothingburg just doesn't have the same ring.
 
Man, Scaramucci is slimy, but he performed well today.

if that was "performing well" the bar is still on the floor for this president and his well oiled machine when it comes to expectations
 
Btw, it was covered in here that the first lady of Japan acted like she couldn't speak English so she wouldn't have to talk to the amateur in chief, right?

Dude, anybody who can say that kind of **** with a straight face - and calm, coherent delivery - is worth his/her weight in gold to the Trump administration.

I mean, he nailed it ... and left all you guys with mouths agape, not sure whether to laugh or cry or make sure that he wasn't ****ing somebody's wife.
 
if that's the scale of killing it

sure

i would judge people more based off actually performing within the realms of truth and honesty

but i see what you are saying

i laughed that they think a majority of us will take that bull**** serious
