When the SECDEF says things like “He f’d around and found out,” and the President says the President of Colombia needs to “watch his ass;” I’m reminded we have a government led by people with the emotional intelligence 12 year old boys.

The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.
