Donald Trump faces travel ban to 37 countries
(www.newsweek.com)
Trump got his travel ban.
This is so sweet.
*They’re all shithole countries anyway. -T
I'm amused at the fact that Australia doesn't allow convicted felons to enter.
Also doesn't Trump say that USA is #1? Why would he ever want to leave?
Asylum in Russia.
Russia is notably not one of the countries which would disallow a convicted felon from entering.
Australia has received too many convicted felons already, after they entered about 200 years ago.
including canada and the UK! hahahahah
As a brit I don't see this being enforced in the UK. The gov would be too scared that trump or an ally would come to power and we can't risk effecting the special welationship 👉👈
I’ve never had the use of two emojis make me this uncomfortable.
Quick, remind me which country Trump's Aberdeenshire Golf course is in again?
Norway
Don't worry, Canada will do like it did for GWB and give him an exemption if it comes to that

You've got to love the irony here. He complained for years that people entering at the southern border were criminals and shouldn't be allowed in and now essentially other countries are saying the same thing about him.
Damn, a former president is banned from entering more countries than I am. That's fucking wild and make me feel slightly better about some of the places I'll never see again.
Which ones and why?
I sense a fun story and I'm here for it.
Not funny at all, actually. I got a DUI a month after turning 21. Fortunately, nothing terrible happened. There are many countries that either consider a DUI a felony (Canada) or just don't want you endangering their populace (Japan). There's quite a list, but it's less than 37, lol.
On behalf of my country, I'm sorry.
I honestly have no idea why Canada sees this as enough of a problem to prohibit you from visiting.
It's not like we don't have people here, who live here, who have DUIs. We do. Lots of them.
Honestly, while it's bad, it's not like you're coming over the border while driving under the influence. It just feels like something that should, at the very least, fall off, after a few years. Like, you get a DUI in 2020, you can't visit until 2025 or something like that.... As long as you don't get another DUI or other felony, sure, why not?
IDK. I'm just some guy, eh?

Damn that's a shame cause japan is fun and it's cheapish currently cause of the yen plummeting.
I spent six years there as a kid and experienced quite a bit. I really wanted to revisit as an adult, but that's not in the cards now. I will always cherish the memories of my time spent there, and I'm glad my parents made a point to see as much of the country, people, and culture as possible.

Right so can you guys please not vote for this guy now fuck my life 🤦♂️
Best I can do is a historic number of people voting for him a 3rd time, still losing the popular vote and standing a decent chance at winning anyway
☹️
This comment made all the dopamine leave my body at once. Now I look like Voldemort in death fetus mode, except fat and hairy
Unfortunately there are too many stupid Americans, sorry.
Unfortunately the verdict will do nothing to sway his supporters away from him.
I’m signed up to his mailing list for fun. He described it as the darkest day in American history. I’d say roughly half of the country agrees with that assessment.
Saaaad.

So if he does leave, he can't come back?
I'm pretty sure it's accepted pretty universally that countries must accept citizens back. Reason being, if they don't, the rejected person becomes another country's problem, and that is bad for relations.
I hope because of some weird loophole he has to live in an airport like Tom Hanks

So, for arguments sake, he wins election. He can't enter those countries as a nations leader?
Dear God it'll be like Kristi Noem who can't enter half her state because the Indian tribes said so.
Pretty sure diplomatic immunity is a thing that would come into play.
Diplomatic immunity is the inability for someone visiting as a diplomat, which would include a US president visiting another country, to be held to a crime or civil penalty, with countries welcome to expel them for abusing this. I don't think that applies.
But a US president who is also a felon could technically be denied correctly by immigration officials, but could reach out to the prime minister to get this fixed, probably in advance.

His ban status will change if he wins. Indian Prime Minister Modi was banned from traveling to US but that changed the moment he was elected as PM.
yep. a great example is the current president of the Philippines.
Wanted by interpol for millions (billions?) in theft and such, has international arrest warrants out for him, but they couldn't touch him when he visited New York.
His mother didn't join him though, because his immunity doesn't extend that far.
Wait we don't allow people with felonies to enter? Quick! Get trump to leave the country!
I know it doesn't work that way but God would it be funny.
Donald Trump faces travel ban to 37 countries
That's 3 more countries than his 34 felony counts!

Is he still able to vote?
Wait, are criminals not allowed to vote in the US?
Jesus fucking hell, that is not ok.
I think that's a rule from the 1870's mostly aimed at preventing black people from voting.
Yep, in combination with "vagrancy" laws.
Here's how the scheme worked:
-
Refuse to hire blacks for anything more than "might as well still be slavery" wages.
-
Arrest unemployed blacks for "vagrancy."
-
Re-enslave them (see "except as punishment for crime" clause of the 14th Amendment) and disenfranchise them as a bonus.
Edit: BTW, I highly recommend this video, which is where I learned about this (because it sure as Hell wasn't properly taught in my Georgia high school).
It depends on the state

Apparently he will be able to vote as long as he doesn't go to prison. That's the state law of NY, and Florida's law is the defer to the state where the crime is.

Russia, maybe he goes to Russia. Putin and Trump now have the same enemy. Free western democratic justice system.
Not sure why the UK is included here - the travel ban is:
- has been convicted of a criminal offence in the UK or overseas for which they have received a custodial sentence of 12 months or more
- is a persistent offender who shows a particular disregard for the law
- has committed a criminal offence, or offences, which caused serious harm
Two of those look like something for the Home Secretary to decide, and good luck expecting the Home Secretary to make any sense.
- is a persistent offender who shows a particular disregard for the law
Yup that one right there. Textbook example
