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!

Oh poor man, of course you can have some spare healthcare, you just have to migrate to get it.
