Quite the contrary, virtually all counties increased their vote share for him in 2024 compared to 2020. In fact, he won a county in Texas that had not voted for a Republican since 1892. By 2023, polls already showed a decrease in Black Democratic voters, so it was unsurprising he received the highest percentage of Black voters for a Republican in over 60 years.

Many Americans believe the 2024 election was consequential and don’t think anyone else could perform better than Trump. The investments he has secured in just under a year are more than those Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama secured combined.

He disrupted and broke the Democratic Party. He promised and If he continues delivering results at this pace, the Democratic Party will continue losing voters and, consequently, will struggle to win a U.S. presidential election for at least the next 16 years.

You didn't watch the video that you were asked to watch and jumped to conclusion. That's why you people don't learn in this country.

Trump is imposing huge tariffs (or whatever it's called) on everyone wishing to visit America which discourages tourists from visiting the country. America is the most popular country in the world and almost everywhere wants to visit there in their lifetime because their movies, music, technology, etc. promote the country as a country that you need to visit in your lifetime.

When the government imposes taxes on tourists coming to spend their hard-earned money in your country, you are discouraging them. They will look for alternatives.

Watch that video and see the comments section. You will see people from all over the world (not even Africans) saying that they cancelled their trips to America because of Trump. Then, you will see people from other countries begging them to visit their countries.

Which extremists go into America on H1B visas?

Boomyvig:
While you all may hate this man, he’s done fantastically well on this one by protecting the interest of the indigenous labor force of the United States. He wants Americans to benefit from the companies operating in their country. And now that’s what I call a good leadership.

If other leaders act this way including Nigeria, the level of unemployment will be drastically reduced coupled with reduced unfair salary arrangement within our country’s labor market.

justwise:
H1 visa holders are not classified as cheap labour, these are individuals with specialised skills that a lot of Americans does not have.

Talking about religious extremist.. can you tell me how many Americans that have been killed by religious extremists on skilled visa compared to those killed by White Americans?

Salowise:
But why USA matter dey give you headache, they can do whatever they like it's their country, the passport fee wey tinubu increase una no talk

Salowise:
Stop lies, what is collapsing America? Bro I'm a big lover of USA but Trump is making things hard for non-immigrant to get in, it'll affect me as well but all Trump is trying to do is to protect his country, if his country is destroyed by extremist they won't have another country while immigrants can always go back to their country.

Helinuse:
Ignorance is terrible. You just don’t know what America is!

America is not even rated enough.

If only you knew 5% of what you should have known, you won’t compare those countries you mentioned with the quality of life America can offer.

maasoap:
Lol. They don't have these labour force. It is just a matter of time before these policies will be reversed. He's hurting US economy but the effects may not be noticed soon

Feelsgood:
Then let those immigrants quickly switch to China nah abi China no reach to realize their"dream" just like having the American dream . BTW, how many black men are billionaires in China? I'm asking for a friend I need the answer .

😆 🤣 😂 😹 na you need to go school.

Trump's order is due to come into force on 21 September. It would only apply to new requests, but companies would have to pay the same amount for each applicant for six years, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said.

"The company needs to decide... is the person valuable enough to have a $100,000-a-year payment to the government, or they should head home, and they should go hire an American," he said, adding: "All of the big companies are on board."

Since 2004, the number of H-1B applications has been capped at 85,000 per year.

Until now, H-1B visas have carried various administrative fees totalling around $1,500.

Shey e GBo werey,
The person who killed Charlie Kirk is not an extremist but an immigrant who is working a cheap labour to earn a living and works for American companies, and yet they are the most targeted... The free-for-all shooters in school and supermarkets are not extremists to be extradited because they are white Americans. Still, an immigrant from India, China, North Korea, Canada, and Africa is ba... ONKR

Mirasteel:
See your mentality. 😂 did Chinese people involve themselves in slavery? did they ever enslave black people? the reason why black people are in the US is because of slavery and after the slave era, black people because permanent citizens.

justwise:
This is a backward way of thinking, American internal policy has a global effect even if you live in a village in Nigeria.

Mirasteel:
I don't know what people see in USA, a country that isn't safe, a country filled with maniacs. I would rather travel to Switzerland or Luxembourg for peace of mind, America is overrated.

SmartPolician:
America is NOT overrated. Nigerians go to a country where they can get opportunities (good jobs). No country in this world has good paying jobs like America...not one!

There are some tech companies in America that pay their software engineers up to $500k per annum. No company will pay you that salary anywhere in the world.

America understands that research and innovation will keep them ahead. So, companies, government institutions and HNIs are ready to finance research to stay ahead. That's why everyone turns to America whenever there's a global problem and America has the world's best universities because no country in this world funds research like America. That's why they are attracting the most talented people from around the world.

They have successfully created a $30 trillion economy, the biggest in the world. China's economy is still about $19 trillion after all the noise that China will take over for decades now.

America is not overrated. The only problem that America has now is that they voted for the wrong president. I hope he doesn't finish in 4 years what they built for over 200 years. If Biden had run for that election, Trump knew he wouldn't have won.

Salowise:
I thought China, Russia, and India were the new superpowers that the USA is no longer important

Omoawoke:
Imagine if Nigeria is the country where people from all over the world are coming to school in all our universities and paying huge money in school fees,… imagine how the country will boom and how we will innovating one thing or the other in Nigeria.


Just imagine that….
America is the greatest country in the world today because it has the highest diversity of talent more than anywhere in the world

zoomman:
Just like kemi bedenoch who enjoys benefits from the process but doesn't allow others to benefit from it.

Feelsgood:
What a mentally?? Can you speak about this of the Uighur people suffering under Chinese oppression?? How many Uighurs ate allowed to even do business in mainstream China? You're talking of black slavery but turn a blind eye to Uighurs oppression. Hypocrite!

Mirasteel:
Will you believe western propaganda? Chinese Muslims are living peacefully in china and even the president visited a Chinese mosque. don't believe everything you see on social media.

Immigration laws and requirements change from Time to time based on the direction and needs of the host country. It's not unusual.
