I don't know how to feel na. I supported Pres Trump kasi I like that he is destroying the wokes pero ano na nangyari sa tariffs tapos yung mga naturalized US citizen at green card holders nanganganib pala?

And they check phones if they want to. Are they allowed to do that??? I'm leaving for the US at kinakabahan na ko

Whats that they said about Uniteam? Ginusto mo yan?

Unfortunately that one is fully by the books(alongside requiring people to unlock said device) atleast since 2009.

Not that it matters when they just ignore rulings they dont like. Not legal advise but i'd sanitize my device and soc med accounts(but not hide their existence since that would just attract attention to you and they probably already have some of your soc med handles) of content that can be taken as being critical of the current administration/america if one's trip is really necessary and can't be postponed atleast until after America wakes up and starts respecting its own laws again.

MAGA melts down over ‘WOKE MARXIST POPE’ who is a ‘Never Trumper liberal’

It didn’t take long for right-wing media figures and MAGA provocateurs to cry out in rage over the election of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV after it was revealed that he’d publicly criticized Vice President JD Vance and expressed sympathy for immigrants and George Floyd.

Despite feeling national pride over the fact that the Chicago-born Prevost has become the first American pope in history, conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and complained that he is “worse than Francis,” referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.

GOP Rep Hilariously Struggles To Explain Trump’s Orange Complexion To High Schoolers | HuffPost
by CorEy Townsend
May 13, 2025

For many schools, a pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., is a time-honored rite of passage. Such was the case for an unnamed institution whose students, in a clip posted Monday on X, formerly Twitter, participated in a Q&A session hosted by Georgia GOP Rep. Brian Jack.

Then came that question — the one that’s quietly echoed in the minds of many Americans for years:

“Why is [Trump] so orange?” one high schooler asked.

Jack, momentarily caught off guard by the question posed, stammered before mustering up a response.

“Uh, that’s, you know what, it’s, it’s, it’s your perspective,” he responded. “It isn’t certainly mine. I just think he has a great tan.”

Unwrapping Qatar’s $400 Million Winged Gift to Trump | FactCheck.org

Legality of the Gift
Determining whether the Qatari gift is legal depends on who receives it and how it is ultimately used, explained David Super, a professor of law and economics at Georgetown University Law Center.

“If it is a gift to the president, it is clearly not legal,” Super told us. “If, as the president has said, it is a gift to the United States government, that would be legal. But if there’s a proviso as has been reported that [the aircraft] would be made available to the president after he leaves office” as a part of his library museum, “then it would be illegal.”

Trump's New Tweet About Taylor Swift Is So Immature, We Needed Child Psychologists To Explain His Thinking | HuffPost
by Jillian Wilson
May 16, 2025

On Friday, President Donald Trump posted the following statement about pop star Taylor Swift on Truth Social: “Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” she’s no longer “HOT?””

Yes, you read that correctly. Instead of spending his time focusing on international relations, the health of the country or, I don’t know, grocery prices, Trump posted about the “lack-of-hotness” of a pop star.

(For the record, Swift is decidedly still hot and decidedly still one of the biggest celebrities in the world.)

His post is problematic in countless ways, but it’s also really, really immature. In fact, therapists who see children and teenagers told HuffPost it’s a statement they’d expect from one of their young clients, not a nearly 79-year-old man — but even from an actual child, it would be surprising.

“The tone and content of the post resemble childlike behavior — impulsive, unprovoked and lacking basic decorum; yet, even that comparison may be unfair to children,” Samantha Rhoads, a marriage and family therapist at The Therapy Group in Pennsylvania, told HuffPost via email.

Wall Street Investors Mock Trump With A Brutal 4-Letter Code Word | HuffPost
by Ed Mazza
May 28, 2025

Wall Street investors have cooked up a new term for betting against President Donald Trump ― and some have used it to score big gains at a time when the markets are behaving erratically due to the president’s on-again, off-again tariffs.

It’s called “TACO,” which is code for “Trump Always Chickens Out,” and it refers to the president’s tendency to announce massive tariffs, causing the markets to plunge, only to back off days later, causing them to rise again.

Most credit Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong for coining the term.

Last Friday, President Donald Trump heaped praise on Elon Musk as the tech billionaire prepared to leave his unorthodox White House job.

Less than a week later, their potent political alliance met a dramatic end Thursday when the men attacked each other with blistering epithets. Trump threatened to go after Musk’s business interests. Musk called for Trump’s impeachment.

“Time to drop the really big bomb: Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” — Musk, Thursday, X post.

Later, when an X user suggested Trump be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance, Musk agreed.

“Yes,” he wrote.
