75 million tourists from other countries visit the USA each year. They use public transports to get around in large numbers. They are tourists, not citizens, on tourist visas. I have been one of them many times. They provide jobs and income for lots of Americans, including bus drivers..

Many may choose, as I have done, never to spend another tourist dollar in the USA until the current regime is dead and buried. Meantime the misuse of power is a symbol of the spreading sickness that is taking hold in the USA, and it is sleepwalking toward greater abuses than ever before.

One USA bus driver decided that. A company can decide that. A lot of the people riding buses in my area are not citizens. If no non citizens were allowed a lot of bus companies would be out of business.

Maine borders on Canada. Maybe the adminstration ordered the border patrol to harrass Canadians because Trudeau fought back or maybe it is routine. In 1981 I took a bus trip from New York to Montreal. I was hauled of the bus and stripped and searched and held for hours by Canadian border agents. Maybe they hated Reagan but more likely since I was alone, it was a weekday in early December so I fit the profile of a drug smuggler.

remember that The Lord...visits the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation. (Exodus 34:6-7 = Deuteronomy 5:8-10)
so even when it seems the coast is clear with the electoral repudiation of the GOP, at least 62 million backworldsmen, reluctantly driven back into the woodwork, are still there, seething. it will be an uneasy peace, visit at your own risk.

Unfortunately I can only say what others have said, sorry for Trump. It’s a nuisance to most of us as well. A glitch in the system that we’ll hopefully fix in 2020 so the world can continue operating peacefully without an orange ogre at the helm.
