Trump will not alter the H1B Visa program.

Trump talked to Silicon Valley leaders two weeks ago and he sucked their dicks really hard on TV at the end of it. It was a very surprising, un-Trump moment. (about a minute in, on the video at that link)

I'm pretty certain all they asked was please don't change the H1B Visa program. Please make it bigger, if anything, was what they all said.

And it's fine, really; I don't know for sure, but I think the H1B Visa program improves America. Even if it doesn't improve my particular place in America.

I would not vote for anyone on the basis of what's going to happen to the H1B Visa program and hence I would be considered to be voting "against my best interests".

Guess I'm dumb.
In no way, shape or form, do I think you are dumb. As a matter of fact, I love the way you think and the way you express it, and appreciate it. I was not entirely certain of the tone or implication in your post, so my reply may be not that we'll thought out.
