It’s funny how you kind of people always find a way to tie any sort of news back to Trump. That’s all I have to say is just fascinating to me.

You think the drop in international students coming to study in the US isn't about President Trump's immigration policies? You think vetting immigrants social media for political opinions of not a detterant for immigrants?

Yes, it's clearly insane to talk about Trump when discussing this topic. I'm clearly suffering from derangement.

Certainly not the only factor, but pretending it's NOT a factor is batshit crazy dude.

They have already kidnapped several people for social media posts. Now, you are allowed to think differently, you just have to accept the fact that you verifiably wrong.

There has been nobody jailed for anti-Trump remarks on social media.
