  Technically, no. People have been turned away for DUI’s from decades earlier. But, as the other reply said, Trumpitler has “immunity.”

    So it’s like he’s been vaccinated.

    They’re allowed if they fill up the right paperwork and it’s approved by the Canadian border service agency, it’s not about immunity, it’s a process that exists for anyone with a criminal record, the difference is that Trump will be approved automatically just like Bush was 20 years ago.

  Diplomatic immunity, technically felon trump isn’t stepping into the country, there is a bubble of “USA” around him.

  Physically he is there, but whatever country’s jurisdiction doesn’t apply to him. Or any diplomat for that matter. 😓

    That’s not what diplomatic immunity is

    Just like Bush for his DUI, Trump will need to have the paperwork necessary to be granted access to Canada as a person with a criminal record.

    I like this visual. It’s like a force field.

    That’s not how diplomatic immunity works. A nation is welcome to ban entry to any foreign national they want.

    Diplomatic immunity is for crimes commited within a foreign nation. It’s also worth notting that the immunity can be revoked as well by the nation that said foreign national is from, there by allowing them go be arrested and tried under the local justice system.

      How does it work when the diplomat / head of state has been sentenced by an international court for war crimes or crimes against humanity?

  Until he’s sentenced, he’s free to walk around. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 26.

  However, if he appeals, expect him to continue to walk around free until the entire appeals process is completed.

  Now a convicted felon can forget about traveling to Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. They share the U.S.‘s felony database.

  You can still visit 99% of the rest of the world, though. Just need to not apply for any visas or ever fill out any customs paperwork admitting to it.

  Every country that says ‘Visa not required’ or ‘Visa on demand’, should be good to go. That includes Japan.

  Now, If a country has an ‘eVisa’, ‘ETA (Electronic Travel Authority)’ or ‘Visa required’, he’d probably won’t travel to those

    For the fifth time, he just needs to fill up some paperwork and the Canadian border service agency decides to allow him in or not, the same right is given to any person with a criminal record visiting Canada.

      Big difference between letting in someone with a DUI and someone who is a convicted rapist

    You can be free to walk around but that doesn’t mean Canada has to let you through immigration.

  Is commander in cheif an active military position?

  Pretty sure that’s a bit of a loophole, he rides on Airforce One.

    Is commander in chief an active military position?

    I think it’s specifically not a military position. The president being a civilian is how in theory the military must operate under civilian control.

  Trump will be granted access the same way Bush was (he has a DUI), there’s paperwork necessary that wouldn’t be if he didn’t have a record and that anyone can fill up in the same situation, entry will be granted by default for Trump, that’s the main difference.

  This may be offtopic, but what do the third and forth flags next to the name of the creator of the post whose screenshot is being posted here mean?

    Georgia and Moldova.

    3rd is Georgia (the country, not the state). 4th is Moldova.
