This is why his racist followers love him! They don’t care if he makes the rich richer and they remain poor! As long as he remains racist they love their trailer parks!🤷♂️
The president has a right to tighten up immigration restriction from countries that have not complied with vesting protocols. These restrictions are based on a history of noncompliance are justified. Any charges of discrimination are baseless and are politically motivated to constituencies who are molded by their inept politicians who rely on lies and half-truths for power.
Nigeria, unfortunately, is also the home base of Boko Haram, a major terrorist group known for its kidnappings of school girls.
islam is not a race, Nigeria is islamic country, they have no place in this country…Middle east their destination
Stop worshipping black people like they are your God.
Don’t worry when did a travel ban ever stop Nigerians travelling😂
steve Johnson Yeah but what about Africans in USA back then
steve Johnson they allowed Africans back in the 1800s and made them work and have babies and live here
steve Johnson What’s different?
steve Johnson Your lying lol America accepted them long time ago in the 1800s breeding and having sex and making them live here and work
Kay hmm let’s keep things in context you’re genius quoting the obvious lol
There are so many Nigerians that I know that are such strong followers of Cult45, i wish i could see their faces now
One of them here and I think it’s childish to not be able to imagine admiration for a man’s action just because it doesn’t favour one…
The state of things over here are quickly deteriorating. I find it amazing you’re more annoyed at a foreign leader trying to help his people than your leaders who handled things to the extent that they brought us to the shitty situation we are in at the moment.
Why don’t you talk about how we don’t even have background checks on our own citizens, talk about how terrorism and violence is quickly rising, how new terrorist groups are propping up, talk about how a meeting about discussing the state of security by the house of representatives with all our security chiefs was shunned by said security chiefs who sent their accountants to represent them for some reason, freaking talk about why some of your country men burnt the American flag and chanted “death to America” in response to the death of a terrorist in the middle East…
I don’t fancy this attitude of ignoring one’s flaws and trying to paint someone else as evil for reaching to them…
Be annoyed all you want, but this travel ban didnt fall from the sky. If I had my own country and I knew how things worked here on Nigeria, I would adjust policies to protect my citizens too…
Again, judge the policy and action, not the man… Could’ve been Obama and it’d still look sensible to me..
First, no foreigner has a right to come here. Second, the countries affected do not work with the U.S. to screen their citizens who want to come here so they have themselves to blame. Finally, the visa lottery is an idea so inane and bereft of common sense that it must have been a Democratic idea.
you mean those Nigerians who wore MAGA heats when they poured bleach on Smellet? those Nigerians?
@Maverick Watch Reviews That’s the same stolen. You came to someone’s land illegally and fought to them with your gun and took their lands away from them , is that not wickedness? So you people should stop claiming like you people came legally because you people came illegally and stole people’s land like you people did in Australia and Africa
@Alpha Kennedy No one came here “illegally” 400 years ago you absolute moron…lmao. Some cultures are better than others just like some countries are WAY better than others. Thanks Pres. Trump!!!
This has Stephen Miller written all over it.
William H Music 2020,
“We love Donald Trump so much!”
You love Trump because you’re stupid, and that’s nothing to brag about.
But you do brag, because you’re stupid.
Pat Orsban at least “leftists” have brains, unlike t’rumpanzees. If your parents hadn’t abandoned you they would be so embarrassed.
Steven Hughes explain why you wouldnt invite someone from Nigeria to your house?
@Steven Hughes Someone’s mad there question wasn’t answered with a racist statement. Keep calling us names like a child, that’s what you and Trump are good at.
Trump 2020
Miller 2024
Will that affect 90 day fiance michael and angela? 😁
I pray it doesn’t affect Michael..
LMAO
@jenn jenn 😀
90 day fiancee I hope not.
😂😂😂
Stephen Miller is at it again, I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t pushed for all non-Eurpean nations to be banned.
Deport all illegals and muslims now! I love Trump
@William H Music 2020 Yeah dumb idiot, you’re not a conservative but you support all the socially conservative measures which he has taken, which is what any republicunt would have done. How are all you conservaties such pedophiles and idiots.
@BB Wolf ironic that you say his public school education failed him whilst you continue to use the wrong to/too.
It’s “too bad”.
@Nightshade Gaming I’m a uneducated self made multi millionaire . The American dream is very real but don’t let kids know that . It wouldn’t support your Socialist utopian ideology . Worthless anti American public school teachers have failed a whole generation of kids . I wouldn’t let a public school teacher train my dog . I would get him back thinking he’s a female cat . That’s a fact !
Trump 2020
Miller 2024
Trump and his allies secretly love the fact that he’ll be the face of their own bigotry and hatred.
@Pat Orsban proud of your kid being as dumb as you? Damn that’s a low bar
@Slapdat Hugh Jass well said, fits conservatives to a T!
june lee – Here’s a few nuggets about your revered democrat party… you know, the party that: violated the Espionage Act, violated the Federal Records Act, committed perjury after intern sex in the Oval Office, donned blackface, falsely claimed minority status to get a Harvard teaching job, demanded quid pro Joe, took 26 flights on Epstein’s “Lolita Express”, married their sibling to skirt immigration law, assembled a fake dossier to illegally obtain FISA warrants, spied on the opposition party, received national debate questions in advance, had a tarmac meeting with the AG investigating his wife, secretly shipped $ to the terrorist Iranian regime without congressional approval, lied for 2 years about having Russia collusion evidence, established sanctuary cities in violation of federal immigration statutes, paid off accusers of sexual.molestations, desires open borders, openly endorses socialism in the US, proposes ratcheting up our national debt to beyond $30T, and just tried weaponizing the constitutional impeachment process because they have no viable 2020 candidate.
Jacob Berry – Typical no-facts profanity-laced liberal rant.
Jacob Berry – Before arguing with someone, I consider whether they’re even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of different perspectives… you don’t qualify.
The 21st century is the most connected time in human history. The heroes of theses times will embraces this truth. While the fools of our time like all times before it keep denying this universal truth. We are now and will forever be one people, love is everything ☮️
Michael Dennis Tooley you sound ghetto challenged
@Bad Bird you are very funny my brother ☮️ now from humane, wise and free to be on your list . The news here is i know my value Sir it’s a beautiful thing, have a Tuesday full of love brother ☮️
@Bad Bird what did you hear ?
Isn’t it ironic, most of my Nigerian friends in the US are strong Trump supporters. They’re anti-abortion evangelicals who think Trump is god send.
@jonny s you are the moron look st the dems anti American policies you are willing to vote for you traitorous pig
Nigeria, unfortunately, is also the home base of Boko Haram, a major terrorist group known for its kidnappings of school girls.
@G Sterling we don’t need anybody from that shitholecountry coming to America
christians stay, islamist out!
@elmo world if they are here in US, obviously they run from their islamic shith0le , they will be fine with his derision
Travel ban from one of the largest trading and security partners of the US, in the world (w/over 200 mill population). Does not permit business travel. Yep, sure, this seems perfectly sane. Won’t affect economy at all.
Jeremy P Spam emails
Nigeria means nothing to the US or any other country. These people still carry crap on their head for Pete’s sake…lmao.
Maverick Watch Reviews They just invented the stick last year
if they only had more frustrated liberals with their names in sticky caps to tell them about world economy maybe it would help change things you great and mighty social justice warrior you.
I’m sure if Nigeria would just “do us a favor though”, this could all be cleared up.
@Perry Walton your mental illness does not count
@帥哥 he would be acting on advice from senior officials. you can’t call it a muslim ban because it is a christian country so you just move to the line in that it must be racism….your arguments are so fucking boring.
@No BS i am not sure – perhaps you can ask senior officials and advisors in the know.
@Acer Maximinus yawn
Nigerians are all over Social media supporting Trump. Now what? 😂😂😂😂
Savory Gaming You sound dumb, if it is truly that bad don’t you think people would want to leave and come to the U.S. to live a better life? Now you can’t so what is the logic in your statement besides sounding like a troll?
Yh, funny how Nigeria didn’t have much to say about the ‘Muslim ban’ but very quick to complain when their name ends up on the list.
@blkghostxx Firstly those countries on the ban list were devised by Obamas presidency. Second the ban was put in place to help stop the spread of terrorists.. just look what’s happening in Europe at the moment. You realize that this ban affects millions of Christians as well right? A white supremacist issue? Are you fucked America is one of the most diverse countries if not the most diverse country in the world but because they placed a TEMPORARY ban on countries that are a hot bead for terrorism they’re racist… no logic there!
@blkghostxx White supremacists groups from Europe!? You do realize that there are places in Europe the EMTS or regular civillians cant even go at night its too dangerous as a result of the refugee crisis. Terrorist attacks every other day! Mate the vast majority of people or “conservatives” don’t care about your religion or skin color… they care about the crime rate going up, they care about the deadly terror attacks that happen every other day. Its a nations RIGHT to have borders and to ENFORCE those borders without being labelled a racist.
@chase aspen Europe made a HUGE mistake. Good for Trump.👍
Boko Haram you say? I wonder if that might be the reason for the ban.
@Josh Edmonds they kill males.so nobody cares
You stupid?!? 🤨
Could be by that logic the kingdom of Saudi Arabia would be on that list then, since their citizens have killed more US citizens than every other country on that list combined.
Nigeria is sunny muslim…islamic fanaticism…no need problem in US, we already see No Go Zones in Europe, we not need this sh9t here..christians can come
@Alla Veles Nigeria is not a Muslim country bro… 60% of Nigerians are Christians and 40% are Muslims!
It’s because Jared got scammed by a ‘Nigerian prince’ via email.

Recommend the following strategy for circumvention of this program. “Divorce” your current husband; “marry” your brother; reverse steps one and two. Run for congress.
Arduenn Schwartzman. And he had his hopes up so high… He still hasn’t gotten over it despite his brave face…
The travel ban extends to county’s who have problems with security.
Stillicide,
Simpletons like you are the only people who post “orange man bad.”
It is not surprising that Trumpists coined the phrase because it sounds like something a kid would come up with.
That is all your tiny brains can muster.
Stillicide,
Every time that you post something straight from Trump’s Twitter, or his press, like some ignorant parrot, you are effectively chanting “orange man good.”
So on top of being stupid, you’re a hypocrite for doing the exact thing that you accuse others of doing.
But that’s what Trumpists like you do, project and lie.
@Acer Maximinus I guess you are just resorting to insults and attacks now when all I said is you would rather not believe in the fact these countries have poor security and would rather go against anything Trump does just because you don’t like him personally.
Stillicide,
“…resorting to insults..”
Posting complete bullshit is one thing, but then you posted a meme, so this is on you.
You people lost the privileges of rational arguments long ago, after proving daily that you cannot discern fact from fantasy.
Stillicide,
“I guess…”
You guess wrong.
If your delicate sensibilities cannot handle people who hurl insults then direct your ire where it belongs, at POTUS Trump, because that’s his MO.
But you won’t, just more Trumpist hypocrisy.
OH NO!, what are all of those lonely old women on the internet going to do when their “Nigerian Prince” won’t be able to meet them ?…
Believe me they are better off alone!
The *KRAKKENS* been released now that it appears there’s going to be an acquittal in his impeachment hearing and it’s only going to get worse!!
For sure it’s going to get worse for the Democrats
That’s the devil making a world government 😂
I’m disappointed with the travel ban. When you’re a son to a Nigerian king you do whatever you can to allow him to come over to the us
