"I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better," Atallah said. "Things actually changed to the worse."
Real estate attorney Bachir Atallah was returning from a short visit to Canada when he was detained at the border for nearly five hours. He experienced high blood pressure and needed further medical attention.
"They handcuffed me, they twisted my arm, my wrist," he said. "They walked me inside, and I was looking at my wife in the car."
We can only hope more and more people are regretting their support of the current presidential administration. Why would it have been better with T in office? Less regulation, less taxes? That does not mean better.
