What the convicted Presidential candidate can no longer do, post-conviction

[thewayne]

-Cannot possess a firearm. He wasn't allowed to possess one while on trial as they were felony charges. I don't think this is a particular problem for him as he's surrounded by Secret Service agents who are armed and have access to fully-automatic weapons

-His right to vote will be unimpaired. He was convicted in New York, and felons are allowed to vote as long as they are not in prison. In Florida, his state of residence, felons are allowed to vote IF the state they are convicted in allows them to vote. Pity.

-He's not allowed to serve on a jury. Yeah. Like any court would empanel him to sit on a case.

-Employment. Well, that's not a problem, it's not like he's going to apply for a job where not having a felony conviction on your record is an issue.

-Travel. This is the biggie. Many countries will not grant you entry if you have a felony conviction on your record. INCLUDING THE UNITED KINGDOM! Which means he cannot visit his beloved golf courses in Scotland! Of course, if he somehow gets elected in November, then those countries are going to have to ignore this problem as he'd be the head of state. From the article, According to the travel website VisaGuide.World, those with felony convictions are typically barred from entering countries including the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, Japan, India, Israel, and China. However, if Trump is re-elected in November, it would be a huge step for any of these countries to block him from visiting as head of state based on his felony record."

From a second Newsweek article, more info on countries that Trump can no longer enter.

Based on data from the World Population Review, here is a list of countries that do not allow convicted felons to enter:

Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Cuba, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Macau, New Zealand, South Africa, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States

Additionally, there are further countries that Trump may now be denied entry to. Not all countries actively check from criminal records at the border, but they will deny entry if a convicted felon is discovered. The following countries implement this:

Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Tanzania, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates

Huh. So if he were to leave the United States, he could be barred from re-entry? Hmmm....

I find the list interesting, very few European countries on it.

That would be the coolest thing of all if he was barred from re-entering the US. :D

[thewayne]

It certainly would be amusing.

[disneydream06]

That would have been a riot if he were not allowed to vote. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, he's two favorite places. Russia and N. Korea, aren't on the list so he's safe.

Oh, man.  If he want to NK, he'd eat them out of house and home!  Regardless, neither country has a McD's, so he might starve.   He is looking a lot better since he started using Ozempic or whatev, well, his weight is down, he's still as ugly AF.

[disneydream06]

I haven't seen him lately, intentionally. LOL.........

[thewayne]

I don't blame you.   The longer shots of him clearly show that he's lost a lot of weight!  So he's using either Ozempic or an equivalent drug, 'cause there's no way he's eating well and exercising.  Which is good, health-wise, except as many drugs as he's alleged to have done it may not make a bit of diff considering his age.  But he's still an ugly spud.

[disneydream06]

The only exercise get gets is flapping his jaw. :o :o :o

[thewayne]

Heh.  Yep, that's about the size of it.

[silveradept]

Well, rather good that he's barred from having weapons, although he has enough followers with weapons of their own who will probably happily use them on his behalf if he asks.

Given that he's been convicted, I can't see why he would want to serve on a jury anyway.

The travel bans would be the most interesting part of having to work this out. Because he's still supposedly an international man of Business, but perhaps not so much in other countries.

Well ...

It would be a splendid protest against an insane ruler, though.

Also, this would make a great argument that he would be unable to perform the job of President.

Re: Well ...

[thewayne]

Yep, it would be.  You just look at those conferences where he was completely shunned while the rest of the world leaders got on with business and ignored him.

Re: Well ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

If other countries won't even let him enter because he is a dangerous felon -- which they should certainly enforce -- then he would not be able to perform all the duties of his job. It'd be like applying as a pizza driver but not meeting the "must have reliable car" requirement.
