A very good argument for the 2-term limit, something which many countries don't have. I saw definite erosion of civil liberties during both the Thatcher and Blair premierships as they stayed in power for 11 and 10 years respectively. God help Britain if Nigel Farage gets in for that length of time, although to be honest I can't imagine him making a second term in the event that he does become PM. What happens in the US is going to depend on who succeeds DT, and what kind of a leader they are.

Vlad, as always, raises some salient points. As he should, he knows what he sees.

As to travel, right now I wouldn’t even consider changing flights in the US let alone entering it as a tourist.

Being in any position of authority for too long inevitably results in overreach of one form or another. I've experienced it in my own elected positions. It surprised me to see my own deterioration in that respect.

Several of my Canadian relatives feel the same way.
