Economic Impact: Germany is the third largest contributor to the US tourism sector, bringing in over $8 billion. So much pointless Trump destruction.

Negative personal opinion about Trump can get your entry to the US denied.
Even if you are a researcher heading to a conference.
We are getting to ridiculous undemocratic levels [here]
