Ballroom studios are having trouble attracting instructors, thanks to Trump's immigration policies.

When no Americans replied to her ads seeking a dance instructor, studio owner Chris Sabourin looked overseas. But she was stymied again by a federal tightening of visa application rules she and others contend is hampering the ballroom dance industry.

Sabourin had to eventually give up after a year and thousands of dollars trying to hire a top ballroom dancer from Greece to teach at her Fred Astaire studio in Orange, Connecticut, only to have the woman detained at New York's Kennedy Airport and sent back home.

"It would just be nice to know why we're having such a hard time," Sabourin said. "It's affecting our business, definitely."

With a steady interest in learning iconic dances like the foxtrot and tango, fueled in part by "Dancing with the Stars," studio owners like Sabourin say their efforts to hire professional instructors are hampered without overseas help.

4. The US is closed for business, except for global behemoths.

Apple and Amazon will not suffer, but many small and medium sized businesses will not survive. Trump’s America First policy is actually America Last. He would not want a brown person allowed in. Only rich, white people need apply.
