That said, it would be hard to prove why the security detail began parking in front of the neighbors' house rather than the Alitos' home.

The CBC reports that "Donald Trump would need special permission to attend next year's G7 in Canada."

Quite a few countries bar convicted felons from entry, so a President Trump would have a hard time traveling abroad.
