Poor old Trumpy

Travel becomes more complicated for convicted felons. This is a factor that Donald Trump will need to consider when making travel plans in the future.

Performing his diplomatic duties might be very challenging for Donald Trump if he is elected president in November. As a convicted felon there is now a very long list of countries where Trump will be banned from entry.

According to World Population Review, many countries bar convicted felons from entry. Thirty-eight nations, including the United States, ban convicted felons outright from entering their countries.

As reported by People magazine, the bans are enforced even if the convicted individual is still allowed to retain their passport. This could potentially make Donald Trump’s political life significantly more challenging if he were to return to the White House, adding a layer of uncertainty to his future.

However, it is true that in some cases, the international government may decide to make an exception for Donald Trump, particularly if he requested special permission to visit the country as the president of the United States.

Isn’t it all a little too ironic?©Provided by The Daily Digest

Ironically, Trump himself has often called foreigners coming to the United States criminals, and now he himself will be a foreign convicted criminal hoping to enter another country.

Regardless, the list of countries that ban convicted felons from visiting is extensive, and many of these countries are either US allies or nations crucial for Trump’s foreign policy engagements. This situation could significantly impact Trump’s international relations. Click on to see all the countries Trump is banned from visiting.

Both Canada and Mexico ban convicted felons from entering the country. These countries are the United States’ closest neighbors, so it could really make life difficult for Trump.

Cuba©Provided by The Daily Digest

Technically Cuba is considered part of North America, and Trump likely wouldn’t be traveling there, but even if he wanted to, he would be banned from entry.

There are four countries in South America that ban convicted felons from entry: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru.

While not technically in South America, the Dominican Republic also isn’t interested in receiving criminals and bans convicts from entering.

Europe©Provided by The Daily Digest

Donald Trump, surprisingly can visit most European countries as a convicted felon. However, there are a few countries where he is banned, including the United Kingdom and Ireland, both close US allies. In addition he won’t be able to visit Turkey or Ukraine.

Asia©Provided by The Daily Digest

When it comes to Asia, things are pretty strict, and there are very few countries that Trump could travel to. Convicted felons are banned from: Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Macao, Philippines, Singapore, Nepal, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Africa©Provided by The Daily Digest

Trump may have to cancel any plans to go on an African safari in the future. As a convicted felon he is persona non grata in Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, Tanzania, and Tunisia.

Oceania©Provided by The Daily Digest

Trump’s political life, if elected, would be further complicated by the inability to make diplomatic trips to visit American allies Australia and New Zealand as both countries have bans on felons entering.

Middle East©Provided by The Daily Digest

And when it comes to the Middle East Trump is banned from entering Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and I s r a e l. However, we think I s r a e l would likely make an exception for Trump, as the country’s leader has his own legal troubles, the president of I s r a e l is wanted by the ICC.

If Trump wins he most likely will give himself a presidential pardon©Provided by The Daily Digest

Of course, if Trump does win in November, we have a pretty good feeling one of the first things he will attempt to do is give himself a clean slate by granting his own presidential pardon. That’s too bad because it would have been fun seeing him suffer trying to enter all those countries.
