We just want our grandsons to have a good life. Our ex-son-in-law has no visitation rights now, so we hope he will stay away. The last two times he came by, we had to call the police. We hope we can go to Europe next year, but now because of Trump. I am worried that Americans will not be welcome or that Trump will make it difficult to return to the US for people who don't support him.
