41. I think these are the rules that apply to Americans:

Reply to JoseBalow (Reply #9)

Fri Jul 25, 2025, 05:00 AM

Jul 25

ETA 2.2. An application for an ETA must be refused where the applicant:
(a) has been convicted of a criminal offence in the UK or overseas for which they have received a custodial sentence of 12 months or more; or
(b) has been convicted of a criminal offence in the UK or overseas unless more than 12 months have passed since the date of conviction.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-electronic-travel-authorisation

Since the US has never sent him to prison, and it's over 12 months since he was last convicted, he'd be let in even if he wasn't president.

inform the pilots that he is being denied entry. They can refuel and leave. He'll squawk about his golf courses. They should tell him that they are to be confiscated and sold. They will then send him a portion of the sales.

Just a scenario I'd like to see.

if the pilot of Air Farce One would turn against him and know he is the only power in the world to change history!

From an earlier post:

“Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last. Imagine that you are doing this but that it is essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature...in order to found that edifice on its unavenged tears. Would you consent to be the architect on those conditions? Tell me. Tell the truth.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

If you were presented with that choice in today's world, could you consent?
