Donald Trump’s travel ban is creating total pandemonium tonight at O’Hare and other American airports
Donald Trump’s political agenda has always consisted of pitifully simplistic solutions to problems. He insisted that a wall could somehow fix an issue as complex as immigration. Now he’s decided that a travel ban from the UK to the United States will somehow magically stop a coronavirus outbreak that’s already rampant in the United States.
Not only has Trump’s travel ban failed to stop the numbers of U.S. coronavirus cases from going up, it’s created total pandemonium as people try to hurry up and get back from Europe to the United States:
This is the scene at O’Hare airport. The traveler who took the photo said it’s a 6-hour wait for bags then on to customs for 2-4 more of waiting in shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. Police are handing out water and disinfectant wipes. @fly2ohare #ord #coronavirus #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/UTx9E0nj1s

Similar scenes have been depicted on Twitter at Dallas Fort Worth airport tonight. The worst part about this is that tightly packed crowds this large make for a petri dish when it comes to coronavirus spread. Donald Trump’s idiotic plan will only end up increasing the number of coronavirus-infected people in the United States.
