Anyone faced a stupid problem from PayPal like me. A month ago, exactly 30 days from now, I got limited and asked for a political question. I answered no, for the first two weeks no response from them then I started to call them since there every 2 days I make a phone call. Every call ends up with a promise of 'willing to review your account soon'.

Ps: I tried to look at a mirror and see nothing similar to Trump. feelsbadman

Politically exposed? Where are you from? Vietnam according to your name? And why does such thing even matters to them?
So they limited your account because of a political matter?

I had great success with contacting them on Facebook.

Your account got flagged because of their internal algos. They suspect you are running political funds through Paypal. Likely, an account of an account you received/transferred funds to was flagged.
