America First, America First, I can hear Trump raging now.
Honestly does anyone think it’s a good idea to travel internationally or domestically unless it’s absolutely necessary? SA canceled the Haj to all foreigners.

Trump’s campaign flags read “KEEP AMERICA GREAT.” By what measure could that possibly be true, other than America being home of the GREATEST ASSHOLE, DONALD J. TRUMP??

Frankly, I don’t think the EU has the spine to go through with it. I think their leaders are just as afraid of nasty nicknames and mean tweets as many of ours.

No, they’ll let us come, but on the 2-week quarantine on arrival basis currently in place.

Trump is probably figuring out a way to “hit back” as we type. Maybe this is when he pulls out of NATO. But rest assured he will say and do something unspeakably stupid.

Any thoughts on which direction the sunrise will come from tomorrow?

Tariffs? Talk about kicking WHO and UN out? Trump has no new ideas.

That’ll likely be the catch. We’re sending plenty of people there now, especially government types, and that’s kind of the new standard.

I used to see the Canadians at airports with huge maple leaves plastered all over their stuff because God forbid you be mistaken for an American. :smile:
