On the same day that the White House announced President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban on residents of six majority-Muslim nations, Gold Star father and Muslim-American Khizr Khan that his “traveling privileges” were under review and that his “freedom to travel abroad” had been temporarily suspended.

Khan, a Pakistani-born naturalized U.S. citizen of more than 30 years, was set to speak “about tolerance, understanding, unity, and the rule of law” at a luncheon in Toronto on Tuesday. The two-hour event was slated to include a question-and-answer session on “what we can do about the appalling turn of events in Washington — so that we don’t all end up sacrificing everything,” according to the organizer.

On Sunday, however, Khan was informed that he would be unable to travel to Canada. According to Ramsay Talks, the organization that had planned Khan’s talk, the Harvard-educated lawyer’s “travel privileges are being reviewed.” It is unclear what review or revocation of “travel privileges” Khan would be subject to given his status as a U.S. citizen: Anyone with a valid U.S. passport should be able to enter and leave the U.S. It is also not clear who is reviewing those privileges, as Canadian officials have not returned a request for comment...

At least one other Canadian organization, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has confirmed that Khan’s planned trip to Canada has been canceled.

Trump is vindictive

While he’s dropped clues throughout his entire presidential campaign, the full extent of Donald Trump’s vindictive nature has only been revealed recently. Not only does his obsession with revenge provide more evidence for the widely held belief that he is a narcissist, it further suggests that Trump has a psychological profile that could make him a very dangerous world leader. In fact, research has shown that people who score high on measures of vengeance—the intense desire to inflict harm on another person in order to ‘get even’ after a perceived injury or insult—typically lack empathy, possess uncontrollable anger, and are emotionally unstable.

To describe Trump as a man who holds grudges would be a vast understatement. Last month in a blog post, the British billionaire and founder of the Virgin group, Richard Branson, briefly described his first encounter with Donald, something he called extraordinarily bizarre. At a one-on-one business lunch that occurred sometime in the distant past, rather than discussing entrepreneurship or ways to help the world, Trump spent the entire time explaining how he intended to dedicate the rest of his life to ruining the lives of five people who refused to help him after his company filed for bankruptcy.

Psychology research shows that vindictiveness is strongly correlated with narcissism, a personality trait that countless psychologists say Trump shows all the signs of having. Studies have also found that those who seek revenge are often very energetic and have dominant personalities. Further, vengeful people often seek powerful positions that allow them to inflict what they see as well-deserved hurt on their enemies. That pretty much describes Trump to a T.

What might be the most troubling aspect of a vindictive president is the severe lack of empathy. Since empathy is the ability to see events from another’s perspective, and to share their experiences and emotions, it is an essential feature for a president who cares about the people, as the overwhelming majority of them do not live a life anything like his. Minorities, as well as the poor, elderly, and disabled, would all be negatively affected by an unempathetic leader. To make matters worse, vengefulness is strongly associated with anger and aggression, which can go unchecked with empathy deficits, resulting in—for example—brutal military decisions made with no regard for civilian lives abroad.

Another serious drawback of a vengeful president is that they would spend so much time and effort getting even that they would not have time to actually do the jobs that presidents must do. Under a Trump presidency, many important duties—like working with Congress on the budget and running the armed forces—would either be neglected or allocated to others while he plots and executes his revenge.

Well, Khan is a Muslim, so it's no shock that he meets the basic criteria of being a potential terrorist in need of vetting.

Khan's been an American citizen for 30+ years. This isn't how we should be treating our citizens.
 
It is unclear what review or revocation of “travel privileges” Khan would be subject to given his status as a U.S. citizen:

Yes he has an agenda

I disagree. Of course he has an agenda but so what? Are we no longer permitted to criticize the president while trump's in office?

The man's a lawyer and knows his rights. If there's more to the story we should know soon but this does not look good.

I'm so sorry that you walked in on your mom when she was sucking a Muslim's dick. Obviously, it was very traumatic for you.
 
it's unsubstantiated except for a FB post, and flies against every once of common sense.
Of course criticism is a right of free speech.

From the OP: "At least one other Canadian organization, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has confirmed that Khan’s planned trip to Canada has been canceled."

Until we know otherwise I believe him. Nothing trump's been doing since his inauguration is common sense.

I exhort you to read this article, it is truly illuminating! It is about Dr. Danusha V. Goska who was a lifelong Communist and her disillusionment with those on the Left.

Donald Trump is a terrorist and everyone who voted for him is a terrorist. They all need to be prevented from leaving the country and subject to the highest form of scrutiny.

My mate from the Yemen, who came to the UK when he was five over thirty years ago, was denied entry to the US and deported last March. So who was the fascist head of government back then?? I predict that you will ignore this post!!
