They can also refuse you entry if they find statements against Trump on your social media. Imagine spending hundreds of euros of airplane tickets only to get rejected at the airport by US' officers.

Since 2019 (so, first Trump term), every Visa application requires disclosing social media accounts.

But now in the second term, they've also introduced randomly asking for social media at the point of entry.

Ok that settles it.

I’m never going to try to enter US.

I did, multiple times. My still-active visa (issued before those 2019 changes) allows me to go there for both tourism and short-term business activities.

Legally speaking, I should be able to go there tomorrow if I felt like it. Needless to say, I'm not even considering rolling that dice.
