However, I travel to the US regularly and I am constantly reminded that by applying for an ESTA I sign a waiver that any immigration officer can reject my entry without explanation and without right to appeal. I am also asked to give my social media accounts. WWYD?

Das Schlimme ist, dass die Mehrheit der Wahlbevölkerung *genau das* wollte. Sein Wahlkampf war extrem ehrlich in dem, was er tun wird. Abstoßend, polarisierend, unmenschlich, klar - aber er hat nie behauptet er wäre anders.
