    I don’t get why anyone from overseas would come to the US right now. They can just randomly decide today’s your day and throw you in prison in Louisiana for no reason at all.

      It’s not even that. They are demanding to go through visitor’s phones, and denying entry if they’ve criticized Trump on social media.

      Imagine you’ve saved for a few years for a big trip to America, bought plane and theme parks tickets, put down deposits on lodging, pre-paid for car rentals, arrange for time off for everyone in the group, etc., only to get turned away at the border because you said something negative about the worst president in American history.

      There are an infinite number of places in the world to visit that will be just as fun and relaxing. No need to go to the one place that won’t welcome you and your money.
