His plan will see the annual number of visas offered to Chinese students increase to the new figure over the next two years, up from the current 300,000.

The president has said that his plan will prevent “half the colleges in the United States” from going out of business, while appearing on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle, and even took a swipe at the French people.

Laura Ingraham grilled the president, telling Trump that “a lot of MAGA folks are not thrilled” about his plan.

“Yeah, but you would have, as you know, historically Black colleges and universities would all be out of business,” Trump said.

But if he charges the $100,000 or so “fee” for H1B visas - will taxpayers see this money? Color me skeptical.

Ummmkay - see ya in November 2026.
