Well that’s some crap. That’s something a third world gov would pull if you bought property in a foreign country. “You no stay here.” “You go now.”

"Mr. President, do you have a reaction to news that President-elect Trump and President Putin have discussed your punishments to Russia and, to quote Mr. Putin: 'I can wait out that skinny little bastard's childish antics'."
