Other countries could retaliate against US visitors by putting them through hoops like this, not because they care about our opinions but as an FU to Trump since by now many of them despise him.

I posted on another strand last week that US tourism employs around 20 million people. Trump is killing many of their jobs because he thinks no one should have the right to criticize him or note how exceptionally stupid he is. In an already slowing economy, it’s not very smart to kill off foreign tourism.
