When President Donald Trump defended the need for foreign workers on Fox News on Tuesday, he echoed his own company’s practices: The Trump Organization has requested a record 184 of them this year for Mar-a-Lago and other properties.
The Trump Organization sought to bring in at least 184 foreign workers in 2025 for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, two golf clubs and a Virginia winery through H-2A and H-2B visas, according to data from the Department of Labor.
The company’s visa requests have risen steadily in recent years, from 121 in 2021 to a record 184 in 2025.
