It's interesting that you're equivocating illegal immigrants being turned away with the tourists and professionals booking $1500 tickets to fly on our airline. There's a bit of a difference there. For every person who is turned away for the awful offense of saying Elon Musk is full of ****, how many hundreds or thousands of full fare paying passengers
I hate too break it to you. Trump's approval rating in the US is at 58%. Are you going to ban 58% of America from coming back home? And what do you think the disapproval rating is overseas? Obviously approval rating on POTUS are less common for overseas countries, but the highest approval rating I can find in Europe is Romania at 30%. And the wealthier Western Europe nations are mostly in the teens, led by the ULK at 22%. So are we going to ban 70% of Europe from coming to the US? What impact do you think that will have on our profit sharing?

The blog sites you posted are not "news". Also they even say that social media posts will only be used if they espouse or support terrorism. Nothing about disliking Trump. Your assertion that everyone that "doesn't like Trump" will not be let in is ridiculous.
This reminds me of the time that pre-SLI United offered some monthly COLAs in a few categories and someone on the CAL Merger Committee went and counted the total pilot count in those Categories and got 1,700 pilots. United ended up offering about 30 total monthly COLAs, some even only partial month. Then during the SLI hearings they quoted the monthly COLA and tried to claim United had "1,700 extra pilots".
I wonder if you're the same guy because you both math the same way.
