Advice to ALL of my friends #overseas and in #Canada and #Mexico -- #StayAwayFromTheUSA!

SAN DIEGO (AP) — "Lennon Tyler and her German fiancé often took road trips to Mexico when he vacationed in the United States since it was only a day’s drive from her home in Las Vegas, one of the perks of their long-distance relationship.

"But things went terribly wrong when they drove back from Tijuana last month.

"U.S. border agents handcuffed Tyler, a U.S. citizen, and chained her to a bench, while her fiancé, Lucas Sielaff, was accused of violating the rules of his 90-day U.S. tourist permit, the couple said. Authorities later handcuffed and shackled Sielaff and sent him to a crowded U.S. immigration detention center. He spent 16 days locked up before being allowed to fly home to Germany.

"Since President Donald Trump took office, there have been other incidents of tourists like Sielaff being stopped at U.S. border crossings and held for weeks at U.S. immigration detention facilities before being allowed to fly home at their own expense.

"They include another German tourist who was stopped at the Tijuana crossing on Jan. 25. Jessica Brösche spent over six weeks locked up, including over a week in solitary confinement, a friend said."

"Donald Trump offers tax breaks to US citizens overseas but no specifics"
Yeah, right. He has "concepts of a plan." Concepts which he'll forget the minute he gets back into office. Don't be fooled by the bronzer-baked, barking, banged brain, bankrupt bozo.

Through public remarks, Truth Social screeds and more than 100 preemptive lawsuits,
Donald Trump is assembling a detailed catalog of 💥excuses for rejecting the results of the 2024 election 💥— if he loses.
Why it matters:

The Trump-aligned efforts to overturn the 2020 election
— both overtly and covertly, peacefully then violently
— shocked the American public.

No one should be surprised this time around.

Listening to Trump:
The former president, who risks jail time and more criminal trials if he loses, has expanded his range of baseless attacks on U.S. voting procedures in recent weeks and months.

#Overseas voting: Trump falsely claimed Monday that Democrats are exploiting an overseas ballot programfor expats and military members in order to circumvent "any citizenship check or verification of identity."

#Early voting: At a rally in Pennsylvania last week, Trump denounced what he called the "stupid" concept of voting 45 days before the election — floating conspiracy theories about his loss in the crucial swing state four years ago.

#Mail-in voting: Trump has long despised mail-in ballots. He's recently attacked the U.S. Postal Service as incompetent and untrustworthy — even as the GOP has pushed its voters to embrace the practice.

Zoom in:
The millions of undocumented migrants who have crossed into the U.S. during the Biden administration are a top campaign issue. They're also being used to fuel new voter fraud conspiracy theories.

Earlier this month, Trump demanded that House Republicans use the threat of a government shutdown to pass a measure requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
That effort failed, but it gave Trump and Republicans a new excuse to claim election fraud — even though it's already illegal and exceedingly rare for non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections.

🆘Even without evidence of voting irregularities, Trump is preparing to deploy broader rhetorical arguments for why the election was fundamentally unfair.

The delusional candidate has accused Democrats of "cheating" by swapping out President Biden for Vice President Kamala Harris in June, and engaging in "lawfare" through criminal prosecution.
"If there was no cheating — if God came down from on high and said 'I'm going to be your vote tabulator for this election,' I would leave this podium right now," Trump said Sunday at a rally in Pennsylvania.
"We have to have a landslide because they cheat so damn much."
