    It is legitimately dangerous to travel to the United States, because of state sanctioned violence.

    At least there’s price gouging to offset concerns about personal safety, the very real possibility of being sent to a Concentration Camp, etc.

      Remember the 1936 Berlin Games?

      iirc the government went out of its way to be accommodating to all attendees.

        Banking on Trump being as coordinated and thoughtful as Hitler is not an overly wise way to reassure people.

          True, History will remember Trump as ‘Clumsy Hitler.’

          “He could have ruled the world, if not for his tiny hands.”

        Hitler cared about world perception of the Reich. Trump isn’t looking to earn adoration and praise, he thinks it’s his due.

          I’m always stunned by how tiny his mind is.

          I mean, if I were a crooked President, I’d have extorted $50 billion form the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2016.

          Team Rocket could have figured that play out. Meanwhile we have to watch him peddle sneakers and watches to his dupes.

            It’s not as much or as fast, but he HAS enriched himself by several billion dollars.

            In fact, the majority of his wealth is now in meme coins specifically created to skirt campaign finance rules and other anti corruption laws and regulations.
