Trump on autism

Do you think the rubbish Trump has been spouting on Autism has anything to do with his feud with Elon Musk (who has Autism)?

Watching Trump's speech to the UN and then his news conference with President Zelinskyy made me wonder if someone put LSD in Trump's cornflakes? He was totally rambling and not really coherant, he seemed like he was unravelling.

According to him, London's introducing Sharia Law, which is laughable and I think Sadiq Khan was right not to even dignify it with a reply.

You do all realise that we won't be allowed into America now for disagreeing with Trump, as he wants everyones social media and stuff to be investigated for anti-himself sentiments or views and anyone who disagree's with him banned from the country? So much for free speech and expression.

Fortunately we use aliases here and they might not link us to our real identities.

Oh well I'm sure a look through my phone would totally confuse them, all the calls and texts about meeting up for dog walks, that would have to be code for something nefarious!

but drug dealers use dumb phones as they lack GPS trackers in them for the police to use to trace them.

Quite possibly, it couldn't be the real reason, that smart phones are smarter than me and I don't know how to use them?

You would be considered an immigrant drug dealer and subject to summary execution like they did a few weeks ago:

That's really quite scary Iain.

I'm glad that America isn't a place I want to go, even if I was a traveller, which I'm not, I wonder what they'd make of my little flip top, no internet, dumb phone? Propbably think I must be doing something really terrible if I don't have a smart phone with me.

I really cannot wait for the next election, if democrats win the world will be having a party. The damage will take many years to undo however.

I was in China last week too and they had much less demands on information at immigration than the USA had.

China probably made your phone, so they have access to everything they want already!

Sorry, did you mean North Korea

I couldn't access anything useful online mind you but I wasn't subjected to interrogation in the same way that Trump is demanding.

Personally I wouldn't  go to any country that doesn't like criticism of its leadership. I my opinion it's the people that run the world, be that politicians, religious or business leaders, that are the source of most of our troubles and conflicts. The remainder is ignorance and poor education that precludes critical thinking.

Even if you use a VPN you could still be traceable by police/security services although it is unlikely they would be interested unless there was some sort of credible threat.

I was in the USA 2 weeks ago and had to fill out an ESTA form to be able to simply take a connecting flight there.

The form asks for all your social media identities so they can scan it for "unpatriotic" activity and there is no option to leave it blank. I wrote "none" om the field but this could faily easily be disproved if they used their AI to investigate me.

They can also sieze your devices at immigration and see if you made any posts critical of them so it is worth making sure you have nothing incriminating with you.
