16. I was reading the comments on an article in the Guardian and people deemed the US unsafe to visit for any reason.

Thursday

We are seen by Europeans as a violent country with an out-of-control government. Some commenters also said that the US can never be trusted again even with a better administration because voters could elect another Trump or someone even worse. Better to leave the US behind and forge a new alliance.

I wonder how much tourism has declined due to Trump.
