I’m disappointed they took him off the plane before it left. I’d rather have him stuck in the Dubai airport while he sorts out the passport problem. Oh, and his cell phone would be blocked, so he’d be slamming dozens of Five Dirham coins into the only pay phone there (it’s in a maintenance tunnel). ---

I came in to post this too! Manafort aspiring to be an illegal immigrant. I’m sure the Pubbies will resolutely condemn his intentions and his antics because nothing’s more threatening than illegal immigrants. Right??? ---
