    Man, being refused entry because you transferred via Hong Kong, one of the region’s biggest air hubs, is fucking bizarre. What a joke of a country.

          Well, there are a lot of these travelers going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that flying from Sydney to New York via Hong Kong with Florida as your planned final destination isn’t safe.

    Yeah I’m not buying this at all. There’s always more to these stories than meets the eye, and it’s usually that the person is telling lies.

      Generally yes…

      With trump, there often really is no more to the stories. The guy has made everyone scared for their jobs, and rewards cruel actions.

      This is a guy who literally stood on stage and tried to portray foreigners as animals and dehumanise them, by saying they eat people’s pets.

      Don’t be surprised at this point. The media have actually been surprisingly accurate with all of his actions, and he is extremely predictable too
