These are practices that have been going on for a few years. Everybody is thinking this is a new Trump-era thing, which is not true. It is large scale confirmation bias. Making life decisions (not visiting the US) based off a knee-jerk reaction from reading a huffpo article is not helping.
I understand that for foreigners to see trump sworn into office and then all of these stories pop up would make them think america has changed so recently, but its not true. It like an episode of the Twilight Zone.
- erelde 10y agoI was hesitating to visit the US landmarks for years now under Obama's administration -and even before that under Bush's- but under Trump's, his attitude and words only indicates that it would get worse... I don't want to subject myself to questionning and genuflecting just to travel somewhere, live and work where I please, I am too much used to crossing borders as if they didn't exist. (I am French and travelled accross Europe, never went to the US)
- wvenable 10y agoI agree. But supporting what the US has become over the last decade isn't any better -- the fact that these issues are getting more attention now should not diminish that reality.
