He thinks he's emperor of the world,  Americans dying to stop him?

Why shouldn't he think that? Law firms, universities, the Supreme Court, Congress, other countries, they're all rolling over for him.

He also has the adoration of 50% of the voting public and the acquiescence if not right out support of another large chunk. The American public is not free of blame. And for however much longer they're a democracy* the population also bares the moral burden of what's happening.



*only kind of joking.

Excuse me ma'am. In order to protect your privacy these three individuals who are dressed like they are going to the front line in Ukraine are going to check to make sure that you are in fact a ma'am, according to their specifications.  It's best not to struggle.

I guess the USA will still get the sort of tourists who like to visit places like North Korea or Burma. I couldn't be arsed to fill out all that stuff just for 10 days in the States and that is ignoring any privacy concerns.

What grows in North East Oklahoma where the land is swept by the wind & no trees grow?

Where the wind come sweepin' down the plain, you mean?  Presumably corn (which grows as high as an elephant's eye), (waving) wheat, barley, carrots and pertaters, pasture fer the cattle, spinach and termayters and flowers on the prarie where the June bugs zoom.

 

OK

I had missed the DNA bit

Yeah me too. My ESTA is still good for a year or so, hopefully the midterms will put a stop to some of this nonsense

In 2029, after a long shutdown fight, the Democrat majority in Congress and the Trump administration agree to a compromise bill that, among other things, allows the Trump administration to keep collecting DNA samples from visitors, but they have to promise to delete the data after one year.
