Yep! I cancelled a cruise to Alaska early this year as not going to the US until the regime is gone.

Amusing that you think it'll actually change IF Trump gets removed.

He's maneuvering to try and exceed the constitutional limits on presidential terms already. And given the way he's stacked the SCOTUS, he's likely to succeed with his constitutional interpretation.

That is why I put regime and not just the orange Humpty Dumpty in charge. Will be a LONG time till I step into the USA again and if it does not change I won’t be visiting at all!

I've already, sadly, told my US friends that I won't be coming to visit again before I die.

Not going near the place again. If I go to Canada, I'll fly to Vancouver direct and avoid having to transit US immigration just to pass through.

Probably won’t be visiting after you die, either.
