This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

For somebody who claims to care about protecting American industries, it's pretty clear that the tourism industry is not on that list.
US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry

This is what I'm sick of the most, solutions to problems that don't actually exist. They are completely out of touch with reality.

Auf X (aktiv) bleiben - oder nicht? Ein Leitfaden zum Wechseln:
