Trump's interview has made the MAGA group furious, with many accusing the president of having "traitors" around him
These days, Trump's official media, Fox News, sent people to the White House for an exclusive interview with the president. Trump showed off his carefully decorated rooms, various gold decorations in the Oval Office, and talked about many issues that are currently most concerning to American citizens.
The message he conveyed to the American people includes:
American talent reserves are insufficient, and it needs immigrants with "specific skills" to do specific jobs. I can't just hire any unemployed person to build missiles.
Americans have problems with their learning ability; many can't get into college, and they need a large number of foreign students to support the American education system, especially Chinese students. If we drive them away, half of the universities in the United States will collapse.
Americans are not short of money, and the stock market has been rising. Also, to make housing affordable for everyone, we specially issued 50-year mortgages, etc.
These statements from Trump immediately caused a big uproar within the MAGA camp. Some people criticized Trump for betraying the goal of making America great again. Others still support Trump, but believe that there are "traitors" around the president, and those advisors who made the president say "stupid words" should be fired immediately.
From our outsiders' perspective, Trump didn't say anything wrong. Americans being lazy and stupid is already an international consensus, and even scientific data can prove it. But these people firmly believe that their learning and job opportunities are all taken by people from other countries, and as long as they are driven away, everything will be better.
This serious discrepancy between perception and reality has led to Trump's two elections, and also allowed the MAGA group to quickly take over the mainstream public opinion. As a result, when Trump realizes that closing the borders cannot "make America great again," his base voters will eventually oppose him.
If this trend continues, one day the scenes from the movie "The Hunger Games" may become reality, and American citizens will start questioning each other: What kind of American are you?
