Former Norway PM held at Washington airport

Is this the terrorist you're looking for? 

That's right. A Norwegian politician (leader of the Christian party, to boot, and former prime minister) was held at an American airport for over an hour, thanks to this ridiculous ban circus. The reason? He had visited Iran in 2014. 

You really can't make shit like this up. Amidst all the tragedies Dump is creating, there are these little gems that allow us to have a good laugh at the most incompetent president in the entire world. What a joke!

So apparently now visiting a country makes you a terrorist

The program seems to be working because it identified that person who required further questioning.

[Tiberius]

So here's a question, how do they determine whether you visited one of the banned countries? Do they check through your entire passport at border control? What if you have a new passport?

No the system is broken.
Its a sad 4 years until that douche is gotten rid of.

Then the requirements are retarded

People always tell the truth to immigration officers.  

If a person had visited all of those countries within the past four years on his old passport but his new passport is three years old it wouldn't have stamps from those previous visits.  So unless the US has digital records of every passport issued in the world for the past 10 or 12 years the only way they could determine if you have visited one of those banned countries in the recent past is to rat yourself out.

If Trump is healthy in 2020 he will win the election if he runs.

If trump doesn't die in the next 4 years it is unclear if there would still be an United States for him to run in any presidential election of.

And in the meantime idiot in chief is rolling back on Dodd-Frank, which more or less guarantees that the next bubble is going to explode within a couple of years.

Doesn't make big headlines obviously, since everyone's busy with his theatricals around the immigration ban.

Hey Wyrd, why don't you go troll somewhere else? I really have no use of your worthless input, as you basically just repeat the same nonsense everywhere. Please respect this and go away. Thank you.

Also, if the program requires "further questioning" of a Scandinavian citizen with a diplomat passport simply because he's visited one of the so-called "dangerous" countries four years ago, then it is definitely NOT working. That makes it ridiculous and flawed AF.
