Trump supporters left furious after ex-president's unexpected policy: 'He's lost my vote'

Supporters of former President Donald Trump have reacted furiously to a recent announcement that he backs bringing 'a lot of' migrants into the country.

Trump, 78, made the remarks Thursday at a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey, outside his Trump National Golf Club.

'Basically, we're going to drill, baby drill, get the energy prices down, almost immediately, we're going to close the border and get the bad ones out,' the Republican began. 'And we're gonna let a lot of people come in.'

More immigrants are needed, he said, 'because [the US] need[s] more people - especially AI coming and all [these] different things.

'The farmers need, everybody needs,' the candidate further stated - before quickly specifying, 'but we're going to make sure they're not murderers, killers, drug dealers, and the kind of people we have largely coming in right now.'
