Customs and Border Protection has confirmed that, no, agents did not stop a Norwegian traveler who showed them a meme of a bald Vice President JD Vance.

“Fact Check: FALSE,” the CBP wrote on X. “Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.”

And no, the agency is not referring to Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, but rather the similarly named 21-year-old who was denied entry at Newark Liberty International Airport on June 11.

I think Americans are trolled enough by Trump and his administration.
It's pretty hard to measure up to that level of trolling. It's so bad they are trolling people to death over there!

Haha no more medicare for you! lol
Haha your papers are wrong, away to Venezuela you go. lol
Haha Your pregnancy is putting your life in danger, but no doctor will help you. lol
Haha you complained about high prices under biden, but I (Trump) will make them even higher, with no wage compensation. lol
Americans are having a blast with how funny things are now.
