I can't recommend any of my international friends visit the United States ever again, at least not until the Donald Trump/Elon Musk nightmare co-presidency is a distant memory ... the ripple effects of which will unfortunately, probably not end during my lifetime.

This is an interesting collage, because I fundamentally disagree with the reply, aka the constitution is a worthless rag that never influenced US politics in any way except to keep it racist & oligarchic.
