Donald Trump finally got his travel ban
Donald Trump’s political agenda was famously headlined by his racist vow to build a wall (because all Mexicans were supposedly criminals) and his racist attempt to ban Muslims from entering the United States (because all Muslims were supposedly criminals). Trump never did get his wall, and his “”Muslim ban” didn’t survive the courts or the massive public protests that it triggered.
But now it turns out Trump has indeed finally gotten a travel ban related to criminality – against himself. Because Trump is now a convicted felon in the United States, he’s automatically banned from entering more than a dozen countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom.
That’s right, Donald Trump has been banned from even so much as entering some of the United States’ closest strategic allies, yet he’s still insisting that he’s running to try to become President of the United States.
Keep in mind that voters toward the middle, who don’t care much about ideology in either direction, tend to look at things like competence and practicality. Donald Trump is a senile buffoon who’s doing everything but taking his pants off during his campaign events. And now Trump is such a criminal, he literally can’t visit Canada or the United Kingdom. This kind of thing is going to weigh on the voters toward the middle who decide elections.
It’s why the Republican Party is out of its mind for even considering going ahead with nominating this guy at its convention this summer. They really want to move forward with a senile convicted felon who’s looking at prison and is already banned from Canada? Canada?. If this is the mistake the Republicans want to make, then so be it.
