From The Sydney Morning Herald

Planning to travel to Donald Trump’s America? Think twice. You are neither a wanted nor welcome ...

"Eight hours later, after three interview teams and extensive examination of my laptop and iPhone, they decided I'd come on an unusual route to the US, namely from Australia via Asia ... Although there was no evidence of wrongdoing, I was sent back to Australia, meaning I was unable to join the cruise, valued at $15,000 and not refundable."

@kims The USA are already uptight as hell and think Australians are clamouring to get in. For a time, I was going to move there on a partner visa. It wasn’t my first choice and he ended up migrating here. The questions in the visa application, my god. So arrogant. It’s a massive DOWNGRADE to move to America, you guys… get it through your thick heads….

There was a time when the USA was the holy land for medical research and a massive brain drain saw the best talent leaving Australia and heading state side.

Everything is going in reverse since November. Stunning how quickly things can change.

I still find it difficult to fathom that anybody fell for this conman the first time around, let alone chose him over someone as talented as VP Kamala Harris.

@ewen @kims So sad considering how much the American people are just so bloody sweet. They’re gorgeous people everywhere you go (well I’ve been to South Dakota, Arizona & 4 cities of California). Both experiences of the US have been nothing but 🥰 for me except the *horrific* level of poverty which broke my heart into a million pieces. But yeah, during my ‘19 trip, once I got past my WTF experience of LAX customs & went to meet lots of people, gosh I loved them. LOVED them.
